Tamiya TT01.

[russy01]

Haven't played with an RC car for sometime, so had an itch to scratch. I have had this TT01 kit sat around a while at work, so this afternoon I thought I'd have a quiet one and chuck her together. I also grabbed a bearing kit and a super stock motor to make it a bit more interesting.

4-5hours later here she is. Whilst a TT01 is never going to set the world alight it really is a fantastic little kit, it certainly goes nicely with the super stock motor.

To make things a little more interesting I have not installed the drive shaft for now, so running RWD only - had a quick go outside in the drizzle and its a complete handful. It was understeery and a bit boring running 4wd.

Will give the body shell a spray when I get 5mins.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of Tamiya...enjoy it!

OH have called me downstairs, sounded like I had been naughty! I went down sheepishly!

It turns out that I hadn't noticed all the tyre marks over the floor where I was childishly doing donuts and drifting around the dining table.

It's a bh to scrub off.

Don't think it's been looked at for around 10 years.. Might go dig it out

i've always had tamiya, had TA03, 4 and 5, but sold them all now, great fun

These are fantastic kits, I had one as my first car and it was very reliable, it won me a few championships, too. My Dad and I currently use Tamiya M0-5s indoor on carpet and they provide a lot of fun and close racing. We have tried M0-3s and M0-6s too, but both went for the '5.

Sorry OP, I went a little of topic there.

Putting a locked diff in the rear makes it a lot more exciting.

I had a TL01 chassis a long time ago. How does this compare?

[vdubbin]

When I moved from a TL01 to a TT01 I found it to be more stable and efficient, but less tail happy as a result.

Used to have TL01 kits which were great. Kinda hankering after buying a kit and building one again. However the mini rc helicopter is currently the latest big kid toy.

Might have to dig out my porker le mans tamiya race thing.
