Dear Theodr,

got some qns with rgds to 1/10 rc cars to check with you.

As u might have read from the thread, i m currently looking for a RTR kit or probably setting up one to play n have some fun.

1.)Is there a big diff between TT01 and TT01-D?
Understand one is the drift spec and the other a normal one.
Any notable difference if i were to get tt01 to play drifting?

2.)Was looking at yokomo kits and felt if not too much diff
might get it, but its performance better? Or just better built quality?

3) About electronics. What are ESC and the receiver/servos.
Saw a couple, and the terms kinda confused me.
Crystals and the jazz. Any big diff between a digital n analog servo in terms of real life performance?

Recommendations for a noob.?
Thinking of getting a used setup then use some cash for hop ups.

PS: Sry for the long pm dude. Reply if u have the time to.
If really busy, just put one side.

Kind regards,
Revolution

Heya! Difference between TT01 (I'll use the LED kit TT01) and TT01D is that the TT01 has a LED kit and electronic speed controller (ESC) while the TT01D doesn't. The TT01D comes with full ball bearings, aluminium drive shaft and drift tyres iirc.

If you get the TT01D, you will have to get an ESC as well. Depending on which type you get, I think prices for ESCs start from $50-60 upwards.

You can get your TT01 to start drifting by just fitting on PVC tyres.

Servos are what steers your car. The receiver is a small box that receives signals from the transmitter and sends signals to your ESC and steering servo. Crystals determine which frequency you're using. To avoid signal clash with others, make sure you and your buddy are using different frequencies if you want to run your cars together.

Digital servo has more "steps" or better modulation than analog servos, but also cost more.

Yokomo kits should be not bad, but may be more expensive than the Tamiya TT01 kits. Yokomo parts availability may not be so good too and it will be frustrating waiting for replacement parts to come in if you crash your car and damage some parts.

As for recommendations, I'd say the TT01 car is a good one to start with. If you're not too particular, you can get the Futaba Magnum Jr. controller to go with it.
