Tamiya TT01e Racing Truck suggested Upgrades..... Part 1 

MY GOD, I LOOK A MESS at the beginning of this video. Unbeknown to me I was coming down with the lurgy, then Covid!! I hope to look more beautiful in the coming videos.... hopefully!!

Great vid, I've just got a 2nd hand TT-01 truck, I've got a cheap JX servo to put in mine to improve the steering! Not raced yet but had some practice track time, I was impressed with how much fun they are. pics and a vid on my channel

Nice update , keep up with the truck racing, it’s certainly good fun, and the more time on the track you’ll get better and better ;)

I am glad you are getting over all that sickness and hope you stay well! I have seen these race and it does look fun and a heck of a challenge! Those top heavy bodies and the bumping and sliding around I have seen in a lot of the race videos just looks fun! I am glad to hear you feel happier with the truck after the last practice! Good luck on the next outing with it!

Gluing the chamfered edge on the front tire is the most important part, its the one tipping over the truck, its also good to clean it between sets, as the edge collects rubber. Set your steering rate to 80-85, this will likely help a lot with the driving, and also decrease scrubbing from turning too much. Deffo put thicker diff oil if you're allowed, at my local club its not allowed to put thicker oil, the rule is that spinning the wheels, shall not spin the wheels on the other end of the truck(so your diff cant be stiff). I doubt your motor is that worn out, unless you've run it super hot. Fast servos do a lot, I have a superfast one, and a few people bought new ones after trying it. Having the steering feel like it responds exactly to your input, is important, I think. Nice to see you got a really fast one. Also, good to hear you got the truck a lot more planted with the updates, keep at it, you're on your way to get closer to the fast drivers with each practise session etc.

I heard that Blue Tack can help a lot to stiffen the Front diff, another Trick ( And this one is the craziest that I heard) is actually chewing Gum..off course after it's chewed lol..yes it is crazy but it seems that these two tricks helps.

A few years ago At Broxtowe we all had given up with the trucks , I had a nightmare with the handling ,even after the front diff and gluing the side walls . The front would cause a spin out during high speed corners when on power . I think it's something to do with the staring links flexing under loads and allowing the tyres to bind up and grab on the chassis , I never got to the bottom of it before the class died out. We did find out more they drove better outside on tarmac where there was less grip. Enjoy your racing

Awesome upgraded euro-truck.

these trucks are great, love the rothmans paint

we race trucks on a indoor carpat it has been found the torque tuned motors go off after 2 or 3 weeks ,keep your eyes on the commutator as soon as it looks black motor needs changing ,enjoy good luck

Glad the servo i said about worked out

you used the best possible grease for diffs in my opinion, thats what i used in my tcs euro. use anti wear on the insides of those dampers too, itll help without breaking the box stock rule set

you live and learn matey 😉

How did you fare with the antiwear grease in the front diff - looking to tweak my truck a little before next race.

Do you race in Torquay? Have a feeling you may from your channel name. I've bought a TT01E truck, haven't built it yet. Sounds like if I wanted to race it locally it has to be torque tuned motor / no hop ups?

Hi mate what was the latest quicker servo you used ? Many thats

My fridns.... why a traxxas servo? Spt speed servo wpuld have been an amazing cheaper solution
