Okay... now for the moment you've been waiting for. Here's the pictures of HOW I got a rollout of 4.01 .... I actually had 3.85 for a while till the gear mesh decided to crap out. No more cheap gears for me. Anywho.... on to the pictures.

First... The gear cover is going to be made into a clamping device, but needs to be able to fit the larger gears.


Second... The main gear will need an adaptor. This is the FF-03 gear adaptor that has had the center drilled out to fit the TT-01 shaft. I also took a pin to put in there and shaved it to perfectly fit the width of the shaft. This is VERY important as your gear goes over the top of the pin and helps hold it in. First you put the gear on, then slide the adapter, then slide the pin in... then you attach the gear to the adapter. It sounds complicated but works pretty easily once you get the parts.


Lastly... I took an old Losi Street Weapon motor plate and ground it to fit into the TT-01 motor mount location. If you can't find one, you simply need to find a piece of metal thick enough and just drill the holes and cut to size. Because the "clamp" that is the top piece is thick, you will need to add washers when attaching the motor so that the top will close and clamp properly. You simply rotate the motor mount in the slot to adjust the gear mesh... just like old times.


This is what it looks like when finished. I'm sure I didn't answer all questions, but hopefully that will give you guys a good start on thinking about re-gearing to be more competitive.


I race USVTA and have come in 3rd every week so far except for last week... last week I got 2nd. Still rocking kit shocks with super stiff springs in front and stiff springs in back. Works like a champ and have been fortunate to not break a single component. Rock on Tamiya! Hope this helps others.
