TT-01 and TB-02

[Entity_101]

Ok similar things have ben mentioned but not exactly this, i am plannign to get into some racing (obviously not professional just having fun ) could someone please tell me the features of both of the cars mentioned in the topic and which one would be better for competition. I can get the TT-01 from as low as 150 bucks australian without radio gear or the tb-02 for as low as 220 without radio gear, please post. The reason i have not included the TC-3 is that i cannot afford it.

i personally own a tbo2 and i can tell u that it is very competitive. It is basically a tbevo3 without the graphite parts and expensive hopups. The plus is that the drivetrain is covered and should be no prob for bashing anywhere. It handles better than my tbevo and is almost as durable as my tlo1. Don't get a tt-01. its a piece of crap and you'll break a lot of arms and really is just meant for stock motors.

I totally disagree with that. I use my TT-01 to grip, and its fast/durable. You must have had a Bone stock TT-01 with minor upgrades. If you put a little money into it, adjust a few things, You'll get your bang for its buk. I dont see why you would spend 300 on almost same quality stuff. Come on, its made my tamiya! I recomend the TT-01 with a few alloy upgrades.

HI Feint Motion. I noted the words "put a little money on it","minor upgrades". I bought this kit recently to get the body and the forward reverse esc. I have to say that the tt-01 handles well but again its not really durable. The suspension is sloppy and the steering is inconsistent and wobbly. Investing alloy parts for it (which is a lot) to make it competetive is like spending money on a tl01. It will race but it wont be a contender against other racing kits like the ta04 or tb02 in the tamiya lineup. A tb02 is basically a toned down version of a tbevo3. If you're willing to spend money on a tt01 or even a tl01, its better to spend it on a kit that's really designed for non beginners. I'd go straight to a tamiya's racing kits(tao4,tbo2), yokomo,ae,losi kit coz it will cost the same in the end.
