Tamiya TT-01

[slydar]

im pretty certain im going to buy one. that or maybe a TA-05

basically i just want to build a tamiya kit for the fun of it.

i looked into it before, but seemed at the time you could only buy the TT-01, XB, pre built. but theres kits on ebay for like $120. (obviously i know you need to buy the transmitter, esc, body, battery and charger)

if anyone here has one, feel free to comment.

i think i just wanna use it very occasionally. probably set it up for drift. hop it up a bit. it doesnt have to be stupidly fast. just fun and fun to build. and tough.

i wouldnt spend the extra on a TA-05 if theres a reason too, but for me i dont see one?

TA05 has a few small suspension design differences, and the ABILITY to be a fair bit faster around a track, but .. to 99% of people are just wasting their money.

TT01 for sure, i thrashed one endlessly after my first (TL01) met its fate, from then onwards i felt other cars i 'upgraded to' weren't giving good enough gains for $$, its an awesome little chassis

buy mine $300 its a d1 street legal s15 with everything cost me like 600 all up hours of fun let me no ill even throw in the pipe u use to fit over the rims to slide

[slydar]

it seems like i could build one new for $400?

but anyway building it and opening the packets and smelling the fresh plastic etc is most of the reason i am getting one, so ill pass

[shichi~]

ahah all sweet man it also depends on wat u buy just make sure u lock ur rear diff (bluetak) and go for a slide

lol, was thinking silicone maybe. blutac works OK but? I bought one second hand but it def tends too far to the under.

I have the same D1 S15 TT-01... Been using it occasionally for a year, no hassles it seems, has had quite a few smacks and jumps, all good.

yeah, im just trying to decide which kit to get. i can get a kit locally for $120. full roller.

or ex' HK for $130 posted but no wheels. but is the newer version TT01E. i just wanna make sure most of the hop ups still work on it.
