    you gotta learn to feed the power, very slowly,
    I had a brushless TF B4 for a while that even if you squeezed in the last 10% in a stright line it would lose it , and your power/weight is alot bigger and probly with worse suspention setup (fact of life that 1:18 cant fit great suspention)

    wow,
    After the Mini-T (out of the box disaster)
    i was expecting some teathing problems on this thing aswell,
    But if a “clunky” TX and flimsy Tie rods are the only problems
    Then losi should be on a real winner
    It wont take long for alloy tie rods to be avalible,
    and for the TX do as betty did use another one

    most people dont ue tamiya bodies cause there to expensive to damage lol, the resale of a TT01 isnt that good.

    you best bet if your just thrashing it around is to keep the TT01 and make it handle arite, i mean you will have no worries dropping a 6turn into a properly constructed TT01 but your setup has to be spot on.

    what i would do if it were mine,
    Foamies (medium compund)
    Bearings,
    CVA Shocks (TRFs if i had the money)
    Alloy drive shaft
    ball diffs
    Toe in rears (if you have a choice get 2 degree)
    alloy motor mount (and clip on heatsink with fan)
    Adjustable suspention set (the set that gives you turnbuckles)
    4 degree castor blocks (if you can get them)
    and a CF chassis stiffner (possibly shock towers if there is to much flex in them)
    for electronics a EA tuned 19T chameleon a decent ESC (name brand not a cheapie) a few decent packs (get packs off racers top end racers only use packs for a month or so they are stilll great for everyone except these anal retentive guys, and they are maintained on top equiptment and well looked after) and a moderate charger

    a well setup car like this will be a dream to thrash will be much more fun than anythign you could imagine also will drift very well

    Put on a set of Sorexs or Takeoffs in a medium compund with a medium insert (dont use sorex rims though)

    the venoms are a hopeless motor, i would sya get a “tuned” 19T they are a great combo of torque/speed.
    Stiffen up the suspention, the nuts are to adjust ride height not dampening or spring characteristics (cahnge the springs and oil./iston for that)

    another good idea is get a good quality rebuildable motor, a good 27 turn geared correctly will be haster than a cheap 13 double

    only 2.6g? what did you calculate your wavelength as?
    i got wavelength at 36mhz to be aprox 8.3276 meters so a quater of this would be 2.08 meters i cant see 2 meters of thats qire being only 2.6g

    1, iwaver arent bad just not on the same level and kyosho, but a few crashes will break a few bits once reaplced with aftermarket bits theyre fine from what i have seen/read

    2, bassicaly unscrewing the whole thing a reassembling it all into a new case its not THAT hard you will have to dismantle it eventually aslong as you keep the parts organised

    3,they run on 4 AAA cells, so buying a few sets of rechargeable AAAs is recomended, runtimes can vary fomr 5 minutes out to 30 minutes depending on motors gearing and how agressivly its being driven

    4, all you need with that is 8 AA batterys for the transmitter and 4 AAA for the car

    Betty 1 cap should do but 2 or 3 cant hurt,
    as fo the arial is teh boom CF? if soo coiling it around is a no-no, just get a straw attach it to a landing skid and feed the arial throught that, or if you have 36mhz you can get/make a preloaded arial which are super short and provide good range

    ill try to find somthing, by drifting i mean rotational drifitng. it will control the offset speeds of the 2 rotors as you increase the throttle the amoutn of offset needs to change to keep it facing in one direction, want a simple explination, turn the pot all the way in and slowly throttle up then turn the pot all the way out and slowly throttle up you will see its affect, when its in the right possition you should be able to throttle form 0-100% without the nose wavering (side to side or fwd/back drifting is done with COGs and trims. pity the head doesnt come off cause balancing them and getting blade COGs right would really help these models

    Trent,
    when the gyro is setting it self you should leave it to center and dont move it while its centering.
    the “?????” trim pot is your gyro rate so bassicaly if it has a habit to drift around in a particular direction tweak the trim pot to stop it. being a yaw rate gyro you will never get it spot on and as your flight goes on it may warm up and start to drift again slightly
