Ultimate TB01 Slow Build.

[TwistedxSlayer 1309]

Looks like the same part. One hardened. One not. I'll probably use the harden version just because. Lol

I have found a new set of 53512! Have you got? Plus I have a front one-way diff in my spares!

Yes. Got a set here in their packet. Not decided on a one way yet.

[TwistedxSlayer 1309]

It's arrived. That is all

[TwistedxSlayer 1309]

So last night I broke it to Mrs Slayer that this project is a go... And it got her blessing. This concerns me. Lol.
 

GPM Chassis - not as light as I thought it would be but very nice.

That's all very well, but without pics you might just as well be talking about unicorns.

Very true indeed. I agree.

So I may have bought a TB01 rolling chassis to rob some bits off. Like the gearbox cases mainly. Pics to follow when the chassis does.

[Fuijo 943]

If you get stuck for parts, let me know. I'm done with my TB-01 stuff now. You could even have your LA kit back if you want.

Cheers matey. What stuff have you got left over?

[Fuijo 943]

I'll dig it out sometime over the next few days and take some pics.

That was a very impressive build. It won't be going that blingy. But it will be going that in depth

[Juls1 1720]

Yeah I’m not expecting that level of bling, the only reason it went that blingy is because it was possible. 

Im not aware of any plated parts for tb01 although there might be enough alloy and carbon bits to forgo most of the stock black plastic.

I'll be trying to use as many optional parts as I can. Mainly delrin, and fibre reinforced. The only main plastic items I'm aiming to have is the gearboxes. I know it's never going to break speed records but I'm hoping I can set it up to at least hold its own when it is tested by @GooneyBird

[TwistedxSlayer 1309]

So I accidentally won a complete rolling chassis off eBay. TB01 rally chassis. So the gearboxes will be used from that but the diffs will be staying away. Defo thinking TT02 diffs, and may be the pinion gear from the Levant, the pinion gear to the crown wheel in for the diff is 13t in the Levant and 15t in the TB. This will increase acceleration but may decrease top end speed. We shall see.

[GooneyBird 960]

That's not a bad thing though. For comparison, at the track I try to shoot for an FDR of about 6~6.3. So not stupidly geared. This keeps the speed to a reasonable level and doesn't seems to be too harsh on the gears.

[TwistedxSlayer 1309]

So this is what Fujio sent me to help toward my Ultimate TB01 build.

Happy Christmas👍

Very nice what's the chassis look like?

I've become a big fan of the TB range in the last year or so 😉

Like its come out of the Tamiya factory show room. Ill put some more pictures up later

[Fuijo 943]

I don't see the LA kit in the picture. It should have been in the box as well.

The LA kit was in the box too. Its not in the picture as it got removed by one of the kids.

I’ve got a set of rear alloy uprights on order, and I’ll order the front alloy arms next month, and then the month after I’ll be hunting for the correct recommended touring car motor for it, which I believe is a Dyna run one, and then I need to pick some alloy servo mounts and if I can find them... the correct Tamiya ESC and servo that are suggested in the instruction manual. And I’ve also ordered the hop up spoiler for the one of the Enzo as suggested in the manual.
