Building a winning TT01 tamiya rc car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Close competitive racing is what everyone is wanting and is often what we get when racing out Tamiya cars. Tamiya racing is one of the best forms of beginner racing but there are some issues. Mark and Carl both running the TT01e with core 21 motor at most tracks.
The super tight track at MKRCCC is great for GT12 and MTC but a little tight and technical for the bigger 1/10 car such as the TT01's
sticking with the 58spur gear is ideal for indoor racing. on the big tracks like the iconic cup events a 55 spur gear is what you need and when it comes to truck racing the 61 tooth spur gear is often made compulsory.
So what is the problem with these cars... changing the spur gear is such a big job when it should really be so much easier.

One tip: When removing the wires from the motor, be sure to clean the connections of old solder and then re-tin the connections before soldering the ESC wires to it. This will avoid the possibility of a dry joint.
Cheers buddy great advice …
Geez man excellent work on the painting, the car looks awesome!
Cheers buddy
For people who do not realize yet (and there are), tt01 are supposed to compete against... tt01/tt02 chassis. No matter how good of a driver u are or how many upgrade get, tt01 are not competitive chassis outsode tamiya cups. They are very well made and fun starter and u may get VERY good at driving and modifuing it but u will reach a cap and eventually need to move on something else.
Get them stock, add some essential upgrades and run against other tt chassis or just to have fun, do not spend hundreds , it is not worth it.
Still one of our favorite race classes …
Shell looks awesome
Cheers Dav
That bodyshell looks really good, nice job! And the 1080 ESC is an excellent choice, I had one a while ago, with the programming card it made life a lot easier!!
Coool looking forward to running it
Looking good mate, that’s got to be a concourse winner now! See you at iconic west London 👍🏻
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 see you there
I enjoyed the video and found it helpful. The interior you painted up looks great and the rusty body should definitely be unique and give you a good chance of winning.
Let’s hope I don’t smash it up in practice …
@@PopalongRC May be a dent or two would add to the theme you're going for.
Looks great, good luck
Fingers crossed for the win
Looking forward to seeing you boys on Sunday at iconic
Can’t wait
Looking good ,might be best to save shell for sunday ,wouldnt want any extra wear marks on it
It might improve the look ahahahaha
To keep the weathered look on the shell you need to do something to the wheels to match. The nice, clean white wheels are in stark contrast to the body. The weathered theme has to carry throughout 😊.
I’ll see what I can do
There's some good looking photographer's at the iconic cup 😉
See you there next week
@@PopalongRC no afraid not, it's a round we've had to cut back on this year
Good luck for the racing and concourse 🤞
@@totaltamiyarc you're too kind 😂
All good thanks, Lewis enjoyed his first Iconic at Carlisle and is racing at the second Broxtowe meeting with us and both boys, are racing on the Saturday club meeting with our buggies.
There might still be some spaces left of you fancy it?
It’s already we will cover this one for you…
Have been enjoying your coverage
@@totaltamiyarc and you, hopefullywe will get to the same event next year 👍
That body shell looks awsome 👌 im going the 1080 route with my iconic entry for next year. Not sure i fancy buying another 2 to avoid the spur swap 😂 but im looking forward to popping my iconic cherry next year 😎
Awesome hope to see you there
I have one for you….my biggest complaint or issue with the TT01 (other than what you identified re the spur gear change) is the GB2 part (spur gear stopper). I have 3 TT01s that get driven occasionally but all have seen the GB2 melt and fuse to the spur gear. I’ve seen this happen with brushless, super stock motors, and the Torque Tuned. It’s frustrating!
Not had that happen as yet
You can "fudge" the spurgear+axle assembly into the TT01, example here ua-cam.com/video/yc4t2FfpTUM/v-deo.html Tho granted, its a bit of a faff, but for my part, I've taken out the spur like 2 times in a year, so its not something I'd consider a big deal. If you'd have to change gear ratios at every track, I'd probably throw the TT01 into a woodchipper. Carson Dragster ESC is a rebranded HW 1060. Cars looking good mate, hope the races go great :D One suggestion, if allowed by the rules, is the metal motor mount, as if your engine gets hot, the plastic motor mount can flex a bit more, and then you end up possibly chewing up your Spur gear. With a metal motor mount, and a steel pinion, your spur will last pretty much forever. Cheers for the great content! :D
Might take it out of the indoor car .
As I have one not being used
Awesome! What body is that? part number? cheers.
51150
i really love what you did with the body, i can tell you like your warhammer painting on the side ;) what paints did you use to do this, were they oil based?
Actually used mostly citidael paints
I love these videos. I'm addicted. I use to race in Southampton in the early 2000s with my Tamiya TL01. Question. I use to race with a 21 turn LRP motor. Is 21T the ground standard for this type of racing? I understood that the step up was then 17T 14T and then 12T. Or is it different for each club?
Most clubs run core21 which is a cheap motor but also torque tuned motor which I believe is a 23 turn
At iconic last year there was a 17 turn team powers motor as the stock motor.
With the faster touring cars they are now using brushless tech.
@PopalongRC thanks for taking the time to reply. Looking forward to more summer 2023 race coverage and features on your Tamiya cars.
Was told there’s a heating issue with the 1080 when used racing
Let’s hope they are ok
Another great video boys, what body do you boys use? The Subaru Impreza is it a Tamiya or HPI body and what is that wing from, please?
Tamiya body
Tamiya race wing
@@PopalongRC thank you.

What do you think?! ⁉⁉⁉⁉
You need a spreadsheet
Hmmmmm that is a mission
How did you do the weathering? It looks so awesome
Well what can I say … I’m not a painting god but I’m close
Hola que llevas en los diferenciales??
Tamiya AW grease, only in the front, nothing in the rear.
@@PopalongRC seco atrás??muchas gracias x la respuesta
Where is your buddy?
Building my buggy I hope
@@PopalongRC better be. 😂
Send that thing to 100mph with us
Sorry mate,but that soldering is so bad it made my eyes water. At least heat the wire and then apply solder to it when it's hot, so that the solder flows into it . Twisting the wire first so that it doesn't resemble a mangled paint brush helps too... but hey, it's your car...
That’s why Mark builds the nice cars
