The Castle system, although uncensored, actually worked great. I remember that I had to change the springs right away as the damn thing would nose over and land on its back every time I hit our big triple. If I'm not mistaken the TT has a pillow ball front suspension which I liked. It also has that chainsaw sound that 4 wl SCs have. It must have been about 6 years ago when it came out originally. West Coast RC had a full class of them for a while.

Thanks for the info. Too bad there really aren't any other 1/10 truggies on the market today.

OK, Hyper TT ordered. At $189.99 shipped from Tower, too cheap not to buy.

This is a question for those who used to own a 10TT and then purchased the re-released version:

What is noticeably different regarding the truggy? Do you see any improvements?

Frickin' hilarious. I drove back home on Christmas Eve and found a nice big box from Tower. Waited until the kids went to sleep, and then eagerly dug into the box Santa brought me.

Turned out to be a plastic model airplane Tower accidentally sent me instead of the Hyper TTe

Tower let me keep the airplane (not sure what I'm going to do with it), and I finally got the truck today. All wired up this afternoon, just gotta paint the body and glue the wheels.

Nice truck so far!

Elite RC shut down a while back. Good luck finding one.

Good looking set up man! What motor is that?

I run the tekin Rx8 in my jammin truck. Had a 4600 in it, but was too much. Just slid a older tekin red can scx motor in to try...

Brandon stopped making those a couple years ago, AFAIK, there is nothing similar (with the slider mount) specifically made for this truck but you could possibly adapt an equivalent mount (like the one from a Tekno, SCTE or Losi 8, and there may be others) if you have metal working tools and skills.

Thanks! It's an SMC Racing 4500kV 4-pole 540 can. Pretty cheap at $60 --

Truck is all done and ready to hit the track!

Sounds similar to the Tekin pro4 4600...

She looks great w a lid on! I'll try to get my photos uploaded tomorrow, and get a few posted. I have almost the exact same paint scheme... Except mine is purple on white

First trip to the track did not end well. Got in about 10 laps before I hit the wall on the fast sweeper and cracked the steering knuckles.

Oh well, Integy aluminum replacement on the way, hopefully that will add some durability.

Setup-wise the truck's going to need some tuning, main thing is I had to lower steering EPA to about 75% left/right before stuff hits... is that normal?
