TT01 vs TB03
I have a problem. I want to get the TB03 but there aren't any built ones for sale... I'm new to this hobby and I know most of you would recommend the TT01... Which comes with everything except battery and charger (Maybe Body). I want a TB03D High Performance already built just missing Body, Battery and Charger... I can't seem to find any of those... Please help me... To build a TB03 SEEMS 10X Complicated...

Tamiya make it as straightforward as you could imagine to build the car from a kit. The instructions are very clear, the fit and finish of the parts are excellent. For many of us building is a big part of the enjoyment, it also means that when the car needs maintenance or upgrades, you know how it goes together.
I just had to assemble a Playmobil swimming pool for my daughter, it was a lot trickier than building a Tamiya RC car.
You should be able to find the body and electrics seperately - maybe it is a little confusing because there is so much choice and it is hard to know what you need. This is where a good, knowledgeable local shop comes into its own.
Its certainly simpler to make your first RC purchase a ready-to-run model though, and often cheaper than buying seperately.

There are Kits available with body, they usually cost around $160 + postage. Would love to build you one, but I'm in the wrong side of the world...
Also, when buying a radio kit, make sure you get one that can adjust more than just the trim.

Hi, I just finished building a tb03 and working on my tb03r kit. I would love to build the drift kit for you. I am in lower Manhattan. Shouldn't be too far away from you. Well, let me know what you need and we'll go from there. Cheers.

Ive owned both TT01 & TB03
Dont get the TT01. Overpriced obsolete design ( a toy)
Kits are really easy to build , & you will learn alot about the car by building it. Will take a few hours though.
You will need that build experience for maintaince/repairs

TT01 - entry level
TB03 - intermediate level
Bashing - TT01
Racing - TB03
Both have good overall quality.
By the way, there is a TB03D for drifting, kit number is 58420, just a fyi.

I doubt it somehow
It looks like a cheap Chineese car that is sold under a dozen brand names.
a more modern version of the Himoto/Amax/flying fish ??

I would take the TB03 more adjustments and more upgrade parts than for TT01. Otherwise you can also take a look at the 3Racing Sakura Zero S. Cheap race proven belt drive car with gear diffs. Here is a thread about the Sakura: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...uring-car.html
and here is the cheapest price: http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-3ra...g-p-32632.html

Tamiya just released a TB03 that is designed purely to enhance drifting TB03 VDS. It has carbon chassis and almost all the blink and hop ups you'll need. It's better than TB-03D which is a normal TB-03 with different damper position and a set of drift tyres. Check out the product link. Tamiya 84205 TB-03 VDS
