To start RC drifting basically what u really need is a 4WD RC car with PVC.
For TT01 i recommand that u ONLY change the Centre Shaft to Alu Shaft, plastic bearing to ball bearing and also the spur and pinion gear (For Gear ratio and higher speed) and that is all u need.
And also for TT 01 u need to grease up the rear diff with thick and sticky grease to control the diff action and also not to grease up the rest of the car as it may attract a lot of dust and thus causing drag.

On tat gear, there r 3 small screws, unscrew it n u will be able to see 3 more small gears inside. Apply grease inside until it pack. For gear ratio, try buying spur gear 55 n pinion gear 25. |

if you have already fitted a fan on the tamiya ESC, you should not have any overheating problems with RS540 Sports Tuned. Reason why we stick to a lower turn motor is mainly due running costs. If you use Super Stock TZ or RZ, you will need to change ESC and also replace the brush or even the rotor. Most importantly, your battery will not last long with high performance motor.

oh... which means that rs540 motor would be suitable for me? is this motor more of a drift or drag category?

am i right to say that a drift motor like the rs540 has a higher rpm?
|

Post by larlee on Sept 13, 2006 22:24:12 GMT 7
Tamiya RS540 Sports Tuned has 18000rpm. Tamiya Super Stock TZ & RZ has 27000rpm.
Since we use RS540 or stock silver motor which has lower RPM, we will gear it between a ratio of 5 - 6.
There is a post which says that.

so.... a lower rpm is needed for drift rite? how is the sport tuned motor different from the one which is tuned by rubbish???

The Tamiya Sports Tuned, and Tamiya TZ motor have a higher trouqe curve and a bit lesser RPM which is a bit harder to control due to the trouqe and due to the lower RPM most drifters will find difficulty on controling the car during long drift/couners. The Tamiya Sports Tuned and Silver Can motor are better motors to use for drifting is because it have lesser heat grenated when playing and are almost maintances free. BUT the Tamiya TZ and RZ need to maintance the Brush and Comm regularly and run hotter due to better performances and also lesser run time. Most drifters pefer to use the Tuned Silver Can is because it have more than enough Trouqe and RPM to drift and can play longer time without overheating ANY ESC, lesser maintances and affordability. |

For drifting u can even use up to 25/55. But u really need to control your throttle.

u can drift even using the stock silver can that comes in a standard tt01 box.
u might find it lacking power later when u become more experienced as a drifter then u might upgrade it, but its not really a MUST buy. well for 23 dollars for a sports tuned or 25 for driftmaster, u can't really go wrong at this kinda prices
anyway, the sports tuned is not a silver can, its a motor made by tamiya, black colour can. but tts just minor detail to let u know only.
