Boddney 162 Posted December 15, 2018 I’m still looking for a bargain basement TT01/2. Found this on a local selling page but can’t identify it. Any ideas please? Ta Bod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted December 15, 2018 It's not any form of Tamiya that I recognise 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boddney 162 Posted December 15, 2018 That’ll do me. I won’t bother with it then. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boddney 162 Posted December 17, 2018 @TwistedxSlayer this is a TT01/2 though isn’t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted December 18, 2018 18 hours ago, TwistedxSlayer said: TT01. Indeed. Specifically, a TT-01E. (Recognisable by the revised shock towers and the inclusion of a motor cover and plastic upper deck.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boddney 162 Posted December 18, 2018 Ah ok thanks. Missed out on this one too on the evilbay. It went for £43 which I thought was quite a lot for an unknown, well worn looking chassis. My highest bid was £38 but this is the third one I’ve missed out on so it looks like the market is forcing me to up my game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honza 937 Posted December 18, 2018 21 hours ago, Boddney said: How are you able to tell the difference? Most obvious difference between TT01 and TT02 is motor position. TT01 has motor on left side, TT02 on right side (looking from rear end). Others are subtle design changes. Typical for TT series are shape of steering linkage (almost identical in 01/02) and massive upper suspension arms (slightly smaller in 02) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boddney 162 Posted December 18, 2018 Great thanks. Everyday is a school day👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted December 18, 2018 If you are looking for just the chassis, how about having a look at the sale section on the Tamico website? You can pick up a brand new basic TT chassis kit for very little money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boddney 162 Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks. I’ve had a look there. Most are about £60 and that is really double what I want to pay for a static car that going to be sitting in my shed. My ideal would be a worn, tired and dirty one that I can strip, clean and put back together with the only change maybe being the wheels if they’re not the right look.

Boddney 162 Posted December 19, 2018 Mind you, this is a possibility. It works out at £36.08 + P&P. Still a bit over but worth a look if I can’t find a cheap cheap one before I really need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicadraus 6201 Posted December 19, 2018 Definitely not Tamiya, The damper alone says it and the chassis neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
