Re: TL-01 Question

You can't adjust camber on a stock TL-01.
You'll have to spend money on upgrades if you want to start adjusting things.

Re: TL-01 Question

There should be one. Check www.towerhobbies.com and search for TL-01 parts or something close to that.

Re: TL-01 Question

Ok i finally got the Rc in possesion, YAY cant wait, now its already built, but there is an extra tree of sumthing i dunno what it is ATM, ill check into it later, ok so onto the upgrades:
for the camber i got these hits
1) http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXEV13&P=ML
2) http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGCC2&P=ML

Could i use any of those?
for the suspension i was thinking of buying 2 of these for the front and back:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGL65&P=X

along with either these springs:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGH23&P=X

or these ones:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGF08&P=X

which one would be better for drifting, they both look the same to me :S

and for the motor, iam not to sure, any suggestions? maybe this one?
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGE34&P=X

and just for a little flash lol i might just buy these
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGJ50&P=X

as for tires, they dont really matter ATM right? cuz i will be puttin the electric tape at first then maybe moving on to the PVC pipes?

Can someone pleaaaaaaaase help me out? anything or any suggestions would be great, thankz again.

Re: TL-01 Question

ok the first links will tell you what the amout of camber on the car is at the wheel. The shocks wouldn't work.They aren't made for your car. Maybe the springs. The lights would and the motor would work

Re: TL-01 Question

oh those shocks could work then. In the link it said it wasn't able to be used on the TL-01. You have to find some camber links for the suspension.
