thanks man. this video was just what i needed. now i also know why i want to upgrade it and what it does for the handeling. also nice to see the fast focus with the new lighting. keep up the good work man!
+maxituning14 I'm liking the new lighting setup too. The faster focus is a big help. I'm glad the video has helped. Good luck with your upgrades and thanks for watching.
Awesome. To be gifted an RC is great because you can spend the money you would have paid for it on upgrades. Good luck. What are your plans for it? Road? Drift? Rally?
Great video with great information. Thats negative camber in rear, more stability less prone to spinouts. My personal upgrades order would be aluminum and bearing steering set to minimize the steering slop, then alum drive shaft, but i had bought the drift spec which comes with cva shocks and full ball bearings which i beleive are essentials for me to buy a kit in the first place. So its bearings, aluminum steering set, oil shocks, alum drive shaft, then front one way... diffs can be adjusted by diff oil, which leaves room to drive the car almost normaly by just changine tires... otherwise lock the rear diff for stricly drift driving... What wasnt mentioned in the video is the one way in front gives you the ability to use brakes as an e-brake rear brake only to help break the rear loose and start the drift, without it the brakes will be on all 4 wheels.
When I made this video, I wasn't aware of the One-Way diff. If budget was a concern then I wouldn't include it, as it's not essential, but if pure performance is required, then it would definitely be included. If you were to use a TT01 strictly for drifting , then the drift spec chassis would be your best option for sure.
+radio control uk Thanks for letting us know. I suppose the bearings, shocks and diffs are the same for both so it's only the centre driveshaft and arm upgrades that differ.
+Dima Kushch Most of the parts in this build where purchased on Ebay. Just search for what you want. The yeah racing suspension kit makes up most of the upgrades on my TT01. Thanks for watching.
Yes and no. You don't really need aluminium lower arms, just the adjustable upper arms of your looking to change the camber. The steering set can stay plastic as well, as long as you replace the bushings with bearings. The 3 most important upgrades, in my opinion, are bearings, shocks then centre driveshaft, in that order.
I've heard that there's quite a few differences other than the one you mentioned. I don't have a TT02 so can't say for sure, but people have told me they share very few similarities.
Hello, I was wondering from an unbiased viewpoint, what is the best "name brand" (losi, tamiya, hpi, traxxas etc) beginner drift car? Also, which do you think is better, shaft driven or belt driven for drifting? Thanks!
Please Help! I purchased the 3RACING TT01-05/LB Aluminum Ball Diff. Set for my Tamiya TT01E, but when I upgraded to the full alum Yeah Racing the Alum Ball Diff does not fit. I was told that I need a CVD(axel) or a swift shaft ver. 2. I'm new to the Rc world. Please advice on how I can fix this. Thank you
Yes, I had to do the same. The output drive cups of the 3Racing diff are smaller than the TT01 dogbones, so you have to get the 3Racing CVDs as well. Here's a link: www.rcmart.com/3racing-swing-shaft-tt01-tt0101v2-free-ship-p-16482.html?cPath=595_744_1223
+X-FLIGHT101 It's the standard from Tamiya really. I don't mind spending extra on these parts because it's personal to everyone and it makes each RC different. The only thing that annoys me about these kits are the plastic bushings they supply them with. I just wish they would supply ball bearings in the kits. I really wouldn't mind the price difference. I don't have any brushless RCs. I am hoping to upgrade this one soon but there's no rush and I'm not too bothered about my projects being really fast. Thanks for watching.
+Riki Hisada To be honest, I don't know much about the best differentials to run. I know what certain diffs do but how that impacts the cars performance is still something I have to learn. My TL01 has open diffs in the front and rear. It handles great but gets stuck in rough terrain a lot. So I'm going to lock the rear to prevent it from getting stuck. I run a locked diff in the rear of my drift car and a one-way in the front. It is a popular setup I see many other people running and the TT01 drifts well. Whether or not you can get limited slip diffs for RCs, I would just run your standard open diff in the front and rear. Seems to allow for tighter turning radias and the most grip. Sorry I couldn't be more help, thanks for watching.
I have a question i have a tt01 brushless 9t....on 3s...I had this guy at a hobby shop tell me that diff grease would be ok to use insde the diff housing where the diff pinion is and man was he wrong.....I have spun 3 sets to nothing in like 2 weeks...Before when i was doing 30 mph I had nothing in the diff housing but now im doing 60 mph...I have bearings and the whole yeah racing kit.....I just order'd the solid diff axle but just for th rear for now...all i really need to know is should i have grease in there or what should I do...thanks
You may just need thicker grease. I have some heavy duty bearing grease that resists flinging out at high RPMs. Alternatively, you could try sealing the diff housing and putting diff oil in there. Either way, you never want to run any type of gears dry.
To my knowledge, all the 3Racing chassis replaces is the bathtub part. It still uses the stock diff housings, suspension components and drive-line parts. It does have an integrated aluminium motor mount which is nice. The chassis will probably allow for a bit more steering angle, which is nice for drifting, with increased lightness and stiffness, being made of graphite. Are you considering one?
The Alloy parts all came in a kit from Yeah Racing, which I got from RCMart.com. The motor I am currently running is a Tamiya TBLM-02S 15.5t Brushless. Here's a link to the motor on RCMart: www.rcmart.com/tamiya-54612-motor-155t-brushless-tblm02s-p-62396.html?cPath=1560_946
It doesn't matter what car it is, it's the ESC that matters. If it says 'TBLE-02S' on it then yes, you can run a brushless motor. Just remember to get a sensor cable as well.
It does say in the description of the video that this is my opinion. I don't like bodging things in RC. I'd rather have a proper part and have it last. I'm not knocking the hot glue method but I would be concerned about how long it would last under brushless power, and the weight distribution inside the diff. If you don't get the weight distribution right, the diff will vibrate and wear out the bearings. The 3 Racing diffs are properly balanced. Again, just my opinion. I appreciate your input.
Hi I have got a question I have bought a used tamiya tt01 type e and he tried converting it to RWD and it worked a luttele bit do u guys know how I Can make it 4WD again?
It depends how far he went. He may have just taken out the centre driveshaft and drive cups. But he may have also removed the front diff and front driveshafts. Best thing to do is to pull it apart and double check.
Will the tt-01 steering fit my df-02 looks same size cant find no parts anymore i am getting 3.5t motor for it and 150a esc and 2 cell lipo gonna be quick
Did you see the reply I posted. Here's the link again: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tuning-Steering-Steering-connection-for-Tamiya-DF-02-DF02-Chassis-Aluminium-/252482811632?var=&hash=item3ac925f6f0:m:m7FAws1-802STLdEtKJpWEw Not sure whether a TT01 steering set will fit the DF-02 but the link I posted is for an aluminium set for the DF-02. With the electronics your planning, you'll need strong and reliable steering. Hope this helps.
+RCProjects thanks alot ill look at it in a second it has to be in england because i don't want to pay import charge will 1/8 scale drift wheels fit i need to get it as quick as possible
It's from Germany but because they and we are still in the EU (but not for long) there's no import charges. Just a standard delivery charge which is very reasonable. You may be able to find a set in the UK. I just did a quick search on Ebay and this was one of the first results.
I didn't know you could get 1/8 scale drift wheels. You may need new hex adaptors because most 1/8 RC have 14mm hexs. Do you have a link for these wheels so I can check them out?
+ryan bellew (bellew1993) I am really interested in the change they made between the TT01 and TT02, but I have already invested a lot of money into the Drift Project so I probably wont get one. Thanks for the recommendation though and for watching.
RCProjects true and tamiya has invested maybe a lot of time into the tt02 there is a buggy version a short course truck version the tt02b tt02t tt02d tt02 tt02 type e I guess the best versions of the tt02 is the tt02t and tt02b
thanks man. this video was just what i needed. now i also know why i want to upgrade it and what it does for the handeling. also nice to see the fast focus with the new lighting. keep up the good work man!

Like the Orange looks well nice
Great video. im new to electric and was given a tired old tt01 chassis which im restoring and building up. Just ordered metal bearings.
Awesome. To be gifted an RC is great because you can spend the money you would have paid for it on upgrades. Good luck. What are your plans for it? Road? Drift? Rally?

tt02 has no parts that would fit the tt01 , they look similar but are quite different , only the diffs are the same .. :) i have both tt01 and tt02
+radio control uk Thanks for letting us know. I suppose the bearings, shocks and diffs are the same for both so it's only the centre driveshaft and arm upgrades that differ.
Yes that's right forgot about bearings and shocks lol
radio control uk - Thanks! You answered my question about the diffs. I was thinking about getting TT01 diffs, because of the metal gears.
+Human4873 If you want a driftchassis, you should take a look at the Sakura D4 rwd/awd
Thanks for the heads up on that 👍👍
I agree with all, just go for the tamiya plastic hop hups instead of alu, spare (if u found them cheap) money and the car will weight less!
Thank you 😊
I love videos like this
+6Diego1Diego9 Thanks for the feedback. As long as there are questions, I shall answer them as best I can.
Can I get a link for website where did you buy these staff ? Thank you, this video really helps!
+Dima Kushch Most of the parts in this build where purchased on Ebay. Just search for what you want. The yeah racing suspension kit makes up most of the upgrades on my TT01. Thanks for watching.
I use tamiya rally block tires in my tt01 so i can run it outdoors.
Good tyre choice.
So pretty much EVERYTHING!?

The steering set can stay plastic as well, as long as you replace the bushings with bearings. The 3 most important upgrades, in my opinion, are bearings, shocks then centre driveshaft, in that order.
I have upgraded the Drive Shaft to Aluminium, but it seems to slip. I have refitted it twice. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks
I got 3racing diffs in the past amd the blue ring gear blew in peices in the diff case i hope they are made better now
Amazing tamiya tto1interchance part yeah racing a still good product, std tamiya tto1part very tired
thanks for your insight
the only diffrenct from the tt-01 to the tt02 is the chassie where the battery is on the tt01 thats where the esc a reciver is now
I've heard that there's quite a few differences other than the one you mentioned. I don't have a TT02 so can't say for sure, but people have told me they share very few similarities.
RCProjects how about this almost none of the tt02 parts fit on the tt01
Thanks for letting us know.
Nice video. The motor in TT01 wiggles a bit even when all screws are tightened. How do you fix that?
where can i buy the diff lock part? best regards!
are u using a brushless esc on a brushed motor?
Hello, I was wondering from an unbiased viewpoint, what is the best "name brand" (losi, tamiya, hpi, traxxas etc) beginner drift car? Also, which do you think is better, shaft driven or belt driven for drifting? Thanks!
I was wondering if I should buy a tt01 for some drifting. Is it a good platform.

RCProjects is that compatible with my tamiya tt01 toyota supra??
It doesn't matter what car it is, it's the ESC that matters. If it says 'TBLE-02S' on it then yes, you can run a brushless motor. Just remember to get a sensor cable as well.
@@RCProjects hi there, did you end up paying VAT on import as well?
lol keep it stock but:
hot glue the diff
brushless combo
bearings
you will save a lot

Knock.!! Knock.!!
Who's there.?

Orange you glad they do aluminium upgrades.!?! 😉 😉
Can you still get these up grads at all m8
Probably as they are still selling the TT01 chassis.

i have no clue what the difference is
Hello again,
Where did you purchase the 3Racing chassis brace with the blue?
Thanks
I got it from Ebay but they don't come up very often. Just search for '3Racing TT01 Chassis Brace' and you might be able to find one.
They still make the tt01 type es tho :)
They make the tt-01 type e now
tamiya still makes the tt01
shock towers ?
What do you mean? What question are you asking?
matchbox hunter is it the suspension holders you say?
I call them shock mounts if that helps.
Don't give advice that not true. Tt02 and tt01 are completely different.
You should get a tt02 tho
