Whilst helping a driver out at Broxtowe for the Iconic Cup we also found the steering knuckles have different over all steering angles on the setup station. There car had an TT01 knuckle on the left and a TT01E on the right. It would spin out instantly but only in one direction. After finding this issue we put both to the TT01E Knuckles and the car was instantly more drivable. Having raced both now the TT01 and the Enhanced version is definitely the way to go. Nostalgia wise i would definitely have an Original TT01 on the shelf with an NSX body from the Euro Cup days in 2004. Even back then the TT01 was a great entry level to middle level club car and long may it continue. If your interested CWIC Winter series in Chippenham Wiltshire is running a TT01 Iconic Stock spec class, Could make some good content ;)

I’m lucky to have a original on the shelf

I just stumbled across your video as I am thinking of starting a TT-01 or 02 as a newbie. I also noticed your Beatties decal! Man, that brings back memories of visiting the store in Reading as a child/teen. Absolutely loved that place.
Thank you for the comparison.

[@PopalongRC]

Thanks for the comments
Goodluck on your rc journey

[@jamiewatkiss201]

Thank for this. Looks like two TT01E are on order 😊

[@PopalongRC]

Enjoy!

[@dirtybeard2088]

Great information guys

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers beard

I really like tge tt01e, its simple, quite rugged, and fun to drive. Would recommend the alloy motormount, as it prevents the spur/pinion from being eaten by slight flex of the plastic mount. Tamiya did fix the big issues with the car with the E upgrade.

[@PopalongRC]

That is a worthy upgrade for sure

[@LifeSized101]

This info helps when a tt01 I bought same esc 01 . Kind of feels like a ready to run 16 ball bearings going in.

[@stevemoon2136]

Thanks, that's helpful 😊

I got bits from type E and type R and built a new car but i must say using 2 build manuals and all the adjustment crap that comes with the R version i would say buy a basic tt01 and forget all the nonsense i went through.
Anyhow ive got a tt01 to build up for my birthday its a mess at this time but i shall get it new again. Tt01 2 gearboxes and 2 motors........approx build cost to running is 250 pounds. The tt01 chassis is amazing have no doubts about buying one.

[@PopalongRC]

We get on well with standard tt01

[@JS-vh4yq]

Great vid. Are the chassis swappable b/t the two cars? Cheers.

[@PopalongRC]

I believe so

[@paulvanwezel3324]

Where did you get that blue moter cooler with the little fan on it? On the tt-01e

[@PopalongRC]

Think that one was an eBay special.

[@Q7Quatrro]

Hi, my TT01e has the suspension mount broken in pieces, do you know some upgrades or where to buy new ones? I also live in UK. Thank You :)

[@PopalongRC]

We tend to just buy the sprues for TT01
Check out Rochester RC and if they have it in stock use discount code Popalongrc for a discount.

[@idronecharpifpv89]

I just got my truck on the TT01e and I was thinking of upgrading the shocks to oil filled ones. Is it worth it?

[@PopalongRC]

For performance 100% they are better for on the track .
We have several videos on shocks so take a look

[@forrestcrabbe]

Y'all have a badass day 🤘🍻🤘

[@PopalongRC]

You are getting through the tt01 content hahaha

[@forrestcrabbe]

@@PopalongRC yup, I've recently become interested in more than scale crawlers. Now I want some scale race cars too, so I'm studying up 🤘🍻🤘

[@Charlvdwalt073]

Please Good Sir what will make better Drift chassis TT02 or TTO1 TYPE E ?

[@PopalongRC]

The TT02 has been sold as a drift car and there are specific drift hop ups I believe

[@Jut77]

So got a TT-01, but after looking at ur video I think it's a TT-01 E. It has the top deck over the shaft. And also has the side bits for the battery.
Now I'm unsure what it is ?

[@PopalongRC]

If new it is TT01e as the original tt01 is over a decade old

[@Jut77]

@Popalong RC that's the problem, brought it 2nd had built as a shelf queen. No manual nothing, u inspired me to run it. It definitely has that top self covering the shaft

[@PopalongRC]

Do it
Get to your local club

[@branmanh1417]

How many races do the core rc 21 turn motors normally last you.

[@PopalongRC]

Fairly long mate, roughly about 4/5 club nights, maybe more depending on how you gear it, you can always flush them out with water and oil the bearings for longer run times but for the cost of a tenner I personally use a new one each time I use the car for bigger meetings

[@TW39]

Hj whats the length an width and height off the lipo batterie in the tt-01 tamiya chassis

[@PopalongRC]

build to run nihm batteries and there are a couple of brands of lipo that come in the rounded case.

[@SRG-HITMAN-11]

So what would you buy tt01 or tt01e as im bidding on one on ebay?

[@PopalongRC]

TT01e are still available new in shops whereas TT01 are older and rare

[@SRG-HITMAN-11]

@@PopalongRC thanks so better to buy tt02? i guess

[@michaelvasquez6342]

Personally i like tt01E just because the shock tower is molded separately and can be replaced easier vs the original tt01 shock tower being molded to the gear box cover.

[@PopalongRC]

They have not changed a lot but it is definitely now a better car.
