Sound there is so much for me to learn about RC.

Will be playing bit with the toe adjusters. Altho seeing as how this chassis is limited to modifications i might have to hunt down a better chassis, with more adjustments that come stock.

Umm i have a TL-01 chassis that i bought for the body, how much is the re-sell value for one of them?

Thanks for all the help guys. For the time being i will use this motor, if I ever decide to do bit of racing i might get a better one then.

Tyre wise, next pay day i will go out and pick some up.

Also i really do think that the nut does adjust the stiffness as ive noticed that the car is alot bumpier when wound up so must stiffen them.

Note to self: Only buy Tamiya equipment!!

One other question. What surface can i use the different types of tyres on?
For example foam tyres vs slicks vs radial??

The tamiya kit tyres don’t offer much grip and wear out quite easily. Most club racers use Sorex tyres.

Is your car understeering or oversteering or both ?

Yea though they would be fairly crap…but didnt want to believe it.

It understeers into corner unless its rediculously slow then when i accelerate out of the corner wants to oversteer.

@betty.k]drifting and cornering probs? sounds like tyres and suspension ) :8ball:[/QUOTE wrote:

I have dampers that i bought over the net, they have a little nut on them to adjust the suspension. At the moment they are on the softest.

Also have slick tyres with soft inserts.

That would be loads of fun, but how far can you go with the TT-01??

I know its a beginners chassis but i dont mind hopping it up so it handles good. At the moment i have drifting problems and cornering problems. How can i fix this?

My motor is a Venom Fireball Modified 21d

the stock pinion is 19t and spur is 58t according to you. which i’m pretty sure that the ratio is set for a 540silver can motor. if u upgrade to 21t or 27turn motor. you should get smaller pinions. either that or get a larger spur. try 15-16t pinion.

Thanks, will try that tomorrow, they cant cost too much $5-10? at local hobby store?

Im so bad at all this gear ratio working out thing. Glad you guys help me out.

SORRY GUYS, MY SPUR IS ACTUALLY 61T

Thanks for all the suggestions. When i first asked about upgrading my motor for more speed the guy at the hobby shop gave me a 13t double motor, i told him i just had the full ball bearing, alloy shaft and dampers. Then when i put it in the motor hardly worked properly. So went back and they gave me the 21t double motor. That time i bought in my RC and told him that my pinion gear was 19t.

I think i understand the whole gear ratio now. Well with the pinion and the spur.

I have problems also with the car constantly wanting to spin out. Like its wanting to drift out of corners. Could this be my dampers being to hard?
Would i need to get a lock rear diff?? Is that possible for the TT-01?

Hey all, im a nOOb here, just joined tonight. Looks like a really good site, looking forward to some good help.

What would you guys think of making a jokes/humor section??
