TTO!
[QUOTE=ashrc18TA05]first of all you need a real good hard SLAP for buying a tamiya tt01 i think it is one of the worst cars to have you should of spent the extra £££ or $$$ to get something alot better like a TB01 0r TB02 or even a TA05, i will bet you on the TT01 is that the front hubs will break first.
Yes you may be right, maybe he does have alot of money or money from this first paper route, just maybe he wans to run rally. May be you should buy him a car since you sound so rich
. I have to admit that the steering hub will go first but I managed to salvage them. If it breaks in the area where the ball cup snaps on to the little ball save it. I've manages on several ocassions to fix then up as new, even better. Take the pices and shoe glue them together, just use enough to slightly spread it around the area and let it sit for a day in a clamp or vice. Get JB Weld mix the two together and spread it around the area that was broken. I have mananged to she that hub and break it in a different area. Good Luck
GREAT WHITE NORTH

no you dont
also dont bother putting any hopups on you will just be wasteing money
you should just use it as a drift car or a knock about car

YES you are being a jerk! The TT01 is the only chassis available in the XB RTR. It costs under $190 in the LHS and is a great starter car. To put together a TB02 or TA05 would cost up to $350 just for what you get in the kit! And thats a low ball estimate. I'm glad you have an opinion too, but it's people like you who scare off new people to the hobby. You are the "Spend lots of $$ or it's not cool" guy. Quit being so stuffy! The kid already bought the car. It's NO good telling him how bad you think it is!

specially since the TT-01 is great for a starter car, not if you wanna do too much with it, but it's fun to start out with. SPEC is one of the most popular races @ TCS.

What's wrong with just having a car to mess around with? ANYWAY....For batteries I would recommend you hit up Radio Shack as they now sell GP3300 stick packs for $25. For a motor, just put around with the one you have for now until you learn to drive really well. After you have mastered car control, pick youself up a nice stock (27T) motor (it will be faster than what you have now)
Have fun with your new car, this is a great hobby

Great to see some new people in the Hobby. I have never had a tt01 but I have had Tamiya cars and they are good cars. take the car to the track, in the street and have fun with it. You should get some cheap battery packs and a cheap duratrax peak charger and have fun. Having fun is most important. Stay away from guys like ashrc18TA05 (the cool guy) and hang with the nice people at the track. Also let your friends play with it so that they want one and get on…
