I just started my TT-01 project last night. What a fun little kit this is! It reminds me of building static model cars, cutting all the plastic parts from the sprue. I can see this becoming addicting as I'm already looking for another Tamiya kit to build in the future.
I plan to have this particular kit more as a display model that can be run from time to time. I added the Hop-Up Parts of bearings, Aluminum drive shaft, Aluminum motor mount, and oil dampers. I have some old brushed modified 05 motors I may try with the Kit ESC, or even a 3500kv brushless motor and ESC I have in my parts bin. Nothing crazy, but some how I want to keep this kit more as intended.
Is there a foam insert that fits this particular model? I could not help but notice the stock kit tires are really soft with out a foam insert....
