I have a few TT01s, also some CF chassis's and Yeah racing. All of my TT01's use spacers and washers in different places. As soon as you start modifying the TT01 chassis, you will always run into clearance issues. Getting it to work together is highly rewarding....
I have a probelm attaching my steering knuckles to my steering arms... the screws in the parts bag slide through the steering arms as they have the same diameter as the steering knukle pins... I could allso use some thin washers to take out some slack here and there... where did you find thin washers suitable for this? Any help appreciated, thanx.
The trials and tribulations of a custom TT01. Looking good Glenn. Will be stellar when finished, hopefully it won't cost you as much as a real used Porsche!
stephen manley It certainly is my friend, so many just don’t understand why I’m doing it, but it’s awesome to put something like this together 🤩 Thanks for watching buddy
That is very pretty Glen. I am starting to come round to these rally/track cars watching this!!!!. Lots of effort Glen but it’s looking like you will have a lovely thing👍👍👍👍
Awesome build! I was very interested in introducing the TT01 to my line up of scale hobbies! Thanks for this , Always in the market for the blingishhhhhh lol
looking mighty fine so far....i feel your pain with the spur gear pin falling out every 2 seconds, ive had that on other builds so now i put a dab of grease on the pin so as it stays in place.....and it really works. love your channel dude, i am also a tamiya collector and look forward to all of your uploads, this stuff is right up my street.
Very good quick idea is the chassis kit the same make as the top suspension mounts ? If not how does the carbon top deck fit with the kit ones is it the same ? I was wondering if the carbon holes in that part are too small for the alloy parts and are actually ment to go through the protruding parts if you see what i mean
Richard Temple Yeah quite possibly Richard, I just bought the bits I liked and thought I’d worry about the build afterwards 😂. tbf its finished now and is pretty sweet 🤩👊🏻
I'll have to show u the driftking one and one for speed that got to 126mph. Both tt01 I got all the same blue upgrades for the drifter. V2 smoke machine. Mini camara front and back . I got the differential set and tried it with the drifting axle. But the break on an it locks the rear wheels
Hey, great video my friend, good work. Im wondering if the original tt01 parts should fit on this carbon chassis? Do you know? Do you still recomment this kit and do you already race with it and what are your experience? Thanks a lot
so i'm doing a personal project for my school and im building a rc car and need to know more things about the building portion and i need to interview someone that knows a lot about rc cars can you help me out?
Just a tip. The rear wishbones look like they are binding and that will have a negative effect on the handling. They should drop under there own weight.
I just installed a yeah racing alu conversion kit on my TT01... But how the H*** are the steering knukles supposed to be fastened to the front upper and lower arms... The screws on the parts bag has the same size head as the diameter of the steering knukle so it just slides straight through the plasticballs in the steering arms... Any tips from anyone? Am I missing some washers or something?
Philippe Dessureault Yes unfortunately there are no others gearbox housings to use. I knew this wouldn’t be perfect as too many different manufacturers involved, but it’s not bad 🤩👊🏻 Thanks for watching my friend
I attempted this 10 years ago and it was a nightmare. Almost nothing fitted properly and in many ways the after market parts caused serious problems, particularly with the suspension travel. I still have the car but it is in no condition to run.
That diff setup looks extremely similar to those on my cheap-and-nastily HSP buggy. They were also a pain in the arse to put together. Can you not get a Aluminium or Carbon upgrade for it? That flashing is inexcusable ..... that’s the worst flashing I’ve seen since I copped a horrendous view of “Big” Mac (the local Scottish exhibitionist) after he had recently been kicked in the plumbs during a match between The Exhibitionists vs The Peeping Toms (A matched cancelled to to the excessive amount of ‘foul and ugly looking tackles). 😬
Sorry the gearboxes looked anus with the flashing are they didn't come together very well I don't know why my phone likes to mess up what I say and it makes me look stupid.

Looking good so far! At least it's fun to work on these! Looking forward to seeing it done!
The Houleigan
Yeah it gets a little hate, but I love building stuff like this 😊👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
Im sure the original tt01 kit has a ring that goes on the spur to stop the pin dropping out, failing that a rubber o-ring would do the job too

Yes this works well! making little holes for the pins is abit difficult, the rod keeps rolling around....
Great video my friend looking forward to the rest of the build👍👊😎🇬🇧😊

Michael Stewart
Thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
If you drill off the raised shoulder on the arm holders till flush you won't need to do spacers.
The spur gear needs a washer over it so the pin doesnt fall out. The original copper diff bushings from the first tt01 work great for that
super gizmo
Thanks for the feedback buddy 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends and those Yeah Racing driveshafts work better with a little heatshrink over them at the wheelside so those pins don't fly out as well
@@Mechanical_Insanity Yes, my one flew out! Ill try that! cheers
Why not use all steel gears for drivetrain? So brushless powers never an issue? Like metal bevel/spur gears...

Well...…. I guess that's taking on a custom project for you :) however, interesting and informative as always.
duff duff
Yeah thanks buddy, it was never going to go together without a few glitches 😂👊🏻
That's half the fun though isn't it
i have 10 of the p.m.m cars and i love them all got mine from aliexpress
So what's left from original kit ?
Difs, Bearings and some screws :D
fila1445
Yeah pretty much, all the cosmetic side of it is Tamiya, the Shell, cockpit wheels tires and LED kit.
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Glenn, would those top braces not fit over the carbon upper deck? Would save a mare if they would - oh and welcome back :D
Chris Lee - UK
Cheers Chris, no unfortunately not I tried that 😞
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Thought you my have done, ah well you've found a solution now anyways buddy. Looking beautiful she does too :D
Remove the screws on the top deck at the motor mount and steering post. You’ll gain more grip and usually more steering
2815Juan
Cool 😎
Thanks for watching buddy
Bling build but start off with stick diffs?
Glen does the high speed gear set fit TT01 as TT02 as the pin stays in using it am upgrading a TT02and found that this goes together well
Count murcielago
That’s a great question buddy, I’m not sure I’ve seen a high speed gear set for the TT-01? 🤔
Do you have a king Blackfoot truck that you would sell yes or no
Martin Neps
No I don’t have one Martin 😞
so i'm doing a personal project for my school and im building a rc car and need to know more things about the building portion and i need to interview someone that knows a lot about rc cars can you help me out?

TAMIYA Legends no worries. Really enjoying your videos on your tamiya models. 👍
Yo do they make metal spur gears for this car I have one and u really need one please help

The screws on the parts bag has the same size head as the diameter of the steering knukle so it just slides straight through the plasticballs in the steering arms...
Any tips from anyone? Am I missing some washers or something?
Is the issue maybe with the gearbox case not being true Tamiya??
Do you have to use those gearbox?? i think you solve the issue really well, but would be nice to have the top deck sitting where it should...
Philippe Dessureault
Yes unfortunately there are no others gearbox housings to use. I knew this wouldn’t be perfect as too many different manufacturers involved, but it’s not bad 🤩👊🏻
Thanks for watching my friend
The o-ring rubber spacers might not be a bad idea.
Eric Zajac
Cheers Eric, they seem to do the job my friend 😊👊🏻
Is there no shims for the upper deck?
Thomas Brunner
No this is made up from a few different manufacturers parts, so the gear boxes were slightly higher than the original chassis.
Jus bought one RcAidong chassis like this....
Why the drive shaft falls out?
Thomas Brunner
Once it’s all together and bolted down it all good 😊👊🏻
Or maybe it should be so... the upper deck maybe only mounted on the other posts not on the blue...?
Strange I had so much trouble with the stock top plate and the yeah racing aluminum that I simply built the chassis without a top plate 😁
mitymike 1996
Well that’s one solution 😂👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
I have a Drift TT01 and they don’t even come with the top brace.
