Save up and upgrade to a better kit. The TT-01 has many limitations.

+1 on it. No point upgrading the TT01 cos if ur serious, u'll end up upgrading a pro kit instead. Too ex to hop a TT01 up and chances are, u'll still not get what a pro kit would offer. Oh and wat is it that your breaking? Never seen any drifters break a TT01 much. Or even, at all..??

Plastic parts breaks, metal parts bent and will break also if bang too hard.
Plastic parts cheap to replace . Metal parts expensive to replace.

The more harder the car component, the lesser it will absorb the shock and
the softer the car component the plastic parts will absorb the shock and break away to prevent damaging other car component.

Keep on playing your plastic car until one day you dun break anything.
Then you change to metal car.

The only limit is yourself.

what parts do u break? i've got 2 TT-01, 1 even used for rally, big jumps etc, and i haven't been breaking anything other than stripping my spur occasionally. and i've been running them for almost 3 years!

no point hopping up the TT-01 with the Yeah Racing alloy set; given the rate u're breaking ur plastic parts, it'll be worse with the metal in the car as it'll be even heavier.

usually people only upgrade the minimum required(alu prop shaft, steering knuckles/arm, universal joints all-round) for the TT-01, and that's more than enough even in touring/drifting.
