Maybe you can change back to stock gears.  |

think i'll stick with the 55/25 gears... just learn to get use to the new setting i guess... |

It's all a matter of throttle control I feel. Had oversteering problems when I first started out too. The definitive test is when you let others try your car and see if everyone has the same problem.
I feel that TT-01 as a problem with weight though. Since this is a TT-01 thread, thought I should share a bit of my experience with TT-01. Due to it's weight, I can't get the car to do consecutive S-turns most of the time cos it tends to swing out very far (high inertia). But with fine throttle control and slowing your car down in between turns, it IS possible to go through without hitting the sides. Haven't really mastered it yet but still trying. Braking drift is something TT-01 users can try too. Haven't gotten the swing of it either but I suppose that's where the fun part is; the trying and honing of skills.

The car feels good and drifts well when i'm at low speeds. When you start to speed up a little to do quicker turns, the car will tend to spin out. i'm suspecting that its my suspensions that are a little too soft. Also, it feels easier to turn on the right where the weight of the battery is. Is this supposed to be normal for most? I'm looking for grease where i can pack the gears. Any good suggestions?

hmm.. if u have a yokomo mr 4tc, why arent u using it instead? at the very least, no need to pack grease.
but if u are looking for the grease u can look at DIY store. Hi temp or automotive grease all ok. but most impt thing is to get sticky types.

mmm well, it could be just overthrottling when u suddenly wanna do a turn, u have to control how fast u pull in the throttle as well, not just the final power amount, pulling the throttle in hard at one shot will give u immense torque steer, typical problem of shaft car, try fine throttling, i.e pull the throttle in slightly slower and match the timing to the curve.
if u haven packed ur grease yet, might also be a problem there. i've noticed many weird qiurks in cars without grease. either can't drift easily or takes a lot to get it into a drift, then suddenly it'll just spin out 360 without warning. as for battery weight, its supposed to be a mild problem for most chassis that have battery mounted on one side, but i dun think the difference is very very big such that u would see a significant difference. might have to adjust suspension again for this, cos it might not be just the battery weight tt is a problem. can't say for sure without testing the car.
lastly, gd luck with ur yoke, it is tested and proven to be a gd drift car so u should be enjoying urself building it even as i write this.

For the 25:55 gear ratio... the 25,issit the gear fixed on the motor?And the 55,issit the big white gear?
By the way i using TT01.

Share some of my tips on TT01
Pinion gear and Spur gear
- For TT01, pinion gear use 25 teeths n spur gear use 55 teeths. Bring out the full protencial of the motor (I using 27T motor)
Oil shock and Air shock
- For TT01, i believe air shock will be enough even though i using oil shock last time. With enough spacer, give enough hardness to the rear, my TT01 still can perform very well.
Toe in and out
- I used my TT01 without toe in/out features for about few weeks, i did felt the different wen i change it. Rear toe in, front toe out is my choose for TT01. Some ppl just change toe out the front, i also feel is ok with it.

somehow... my tt-01 seems better than my yoke... oh well... probably coz its simpler to build! haha.

maybe cos ur yoke hasn't been properly set up to ur liking yet.
i used to prefer my tt01 over my pro4 as well when it wasn't set up properly.

For those who are thinking of buying the TT-01D or R, the following are the differences.
1) R has hop-ups for rear toe-in, D does not
2) R has alum shaft and front and rear alum propellar joints
3) R has 61T, 55T and 58T spur gears. D has 61T only (but to use 55T, must still get 25T pinion)
4) R 22T pinion gear, D has 19T pinion
5) D has heat sink but R doesn't
Think that's about it. Just some updates after looking through the R manual.

My setup
Suspensions: Stock
Shaft: Alu shaft
Moto: Sport Tuned
Gearing: 25:55
Shell: Hpi RX-8 (Plays a part somehow).
I used to spin too much cos of poor throttle control.Timings to go into a corner is also crucial.Speed and angle is personal judgement.I like to follow thru when drifting using rhythm method on the throttle(depends on wad type of corner).I'm still learning @ the moment i'm suited to the rhythm throttle method which somehow i managed to clear intermediate corners.I can't show u guys,it's a type of feeling which i can't describe here.(Maybe it's the bonding factor driver & car). ;D

May I have some tips on how the offsets for the rims should be like?
When i switch over my rims to 7mm offset to all 4, it seems to have a higher tendency to understeer in unwanted situations and spins out when performing an S-turn. However, with a set up of all 4 rims with 0mm offsets, this problem seems to be quite minor.
Thanks ;D

Just recently hopped up my car with the universal front axel but it seems kinda short.. the front wheels can move left and right.. is it the stargek guy cheat me? he passed me the 39mm ones instead of the 41mm ones.. is it something wrong?

i think u'll understeer wif offset rims becos the width increases hence there is more traction. for eg, u can be more stable doing push-ups when ur hands are opened up wider. bad example tho...haha

control tt-01 is all about throttling and brake drifting....
tt-01 also got 1 characteristic.... which is not very powerful... so long drift muz kinda play with the throttle to pull off long...
tt-01 also a bit reluctant to react in tight corner so muz control speed and braking...
tt-01 muz tune more of suspension...
use 25/55 gears for more easy long drift...
some things from my exp

Actually, I've found that using 19/61 pinion and spur still works quite well for long drift. Trains a little better cos you have to watch your drift angle. It's not very forgiving on mistakes cos usually can't recover, unlike 25/55.
So for those who can't find stock for 25/55 or just don't want to spend the money, it can still long drift once you get used to it.
And for those who find their TT-01D not a challenge anymore, can try toe-out on the front since it comes with the hopup already. Would increase your turning at sharp corners, at least that works for me.

Yeah, new to drift, actually very new but sliding round car park at home have noticed that the25:55 gears with stock silver can makes the car punchier and more fun. Also easier to keep drift longer.
