Nato Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 How much did that set you back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 $190 for the stock chassis,motor,wheels,shell. still need to spend a bit more to get it going. gotta get: electronic speed controller transmitter and receiver battery and charger steering servo drift tires and some sick rims.... plus you can buy all alloy upgrade parts to replace everything it already has.so thats on the cards too once its running. there's a comp on this sunday im going to check out and hopefully score some bits that i need.

zzzp Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 theyre 4wd cause theyre so slippery/twitchy with minimal steering lock . rwd would cause it to spin out too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam b aka Antic Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 looks pretty sick Zeb does it go as fast as the ones on the video or is it not going at all till you get all that stuff for it? Pretty mean in any case like the paint job you've done looks classy. Keen for a fang on it once you get it all finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubs Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Was into this for a little while I have got a tt01 sitting in the garage with the usual mods and a FD rx7 shell Would fully recommend going with lipos for battery's more power and longer run times also make sure you get a digital controller no risk of interference that way. Check out www.hobbyking.com for battery's, chargers, esc's etc. Cheap as chips on there but sum stuff is a bit nasty Will post up sum pics of my car and maybe a little video if I get time.
