TT01 FDR Setup chart

Found this on the net, thought it was a nice and simple gearing chart for the TT01.

Shows the part numbers for spurs and pinions, as well as which mounting holes to use.

Might come in handy for anyone planning racing GT with a TT01

Thanks for sharing that Mr. Paul
Isn't this there in the instruction manual though...Can swear I've seen it in there

Theres loads of these kinda charts out there for different cars....this one is nice cause it goes beyond the range of tamiyas recommended gearing....

Anyway the tt-01e manual definitely doesn't have anything in it, hence why i was looking for it...

Whats nice here is shows the motor mounting postions for pinions bigger than 22T (where the tamiya manual stops) to ensure correct gear mesh....

Ahh, I see, will save one of these on my computer, very helpful. I just saw my FDR sheet, it's something I got off the internet but this one is better. Do you drift by the way?
Sorry for that last OT question.
Cheers!

The last 3 part numbers for pinions are Robinson Racing pinions. They are hardened steel and last a LOT longer....in fact as a rule, everyone should throw away the nasty Tamiya AV pinions....they are absolute trash, they wear badly and the wear impacts the spur as well.

The last 3 FDR's I would not run on a normal track with a silver can, geared WAAAY to high. With a run up though, you would get some wicked top speed....

Agreed, the thread where i found this mention that those last 4 gearings are for straight high speed tracks....

the guys was also going on about the silver can have a sweet spot with and FDR of between 5 and 5.5....not sure if he meant melting point instead of sweet spot....hahahaha

I have tried to find the thread again so that i could post the link for you guys to see, but i just cant seem to get back to it....

Yeah, I reckon an FDR of 5.5 on a track like Al-Ain would be good, maybe even 5, and on a winter morning you are less likely to overheat it....

Sorry OT here...

My plan was to get into drifting originally, and tried it for a bit but wasn't any good at it, then the guys started talking about some GT racing, so i figured i would rather put my tt01 to good use there...offroad is still where my heart is...

Sorry, OT here too.
Spend some time drifting, it takes some time to get used to the near zero-friction.
It's FUN.

i second that, w are both offroaders at heart, our kits spend more time in the air then they do on the ground, and more time on full throtlle then blipping

mann, maybe i shud get a tt-01 just to mess around at home, miss those easy goin days

My kit wouldn't see nothn' but dirt if I could afford spares...Rallying and offroading is the way to gooo! :cheers:

Okay i promise my last bit OT here....

Ahmed, Damn right man, there is nothing better than big air, nitro clouds and dirt flying everywhere! we need to get out to nad al sheba for a nitro and gas bash!!!! bajas, trucks, truggies and short course!!!!

nice find paul..
thanks for sharing this very helpful info..

there actually is a part in the manual that mentions this but not as detailed as above

hmmmnn.. i guess 58/25 is the legal pair for the GT Mayhem..

nneeeddd track time to forget troubles.......ASAP, i think we should make it a little longer for some good speed, since mabuchi's tend to top out very quickly

yip the few line of japanese translated to english didnt really help.... hahaha hence the quest on the net ...

as soon as my 58T and 55T spurs arrive i will be testing some of these ratios...like you say the 25/58 sounds good!

The mabuchi will overheat with an FDR of less than 6 rite. Thats wat i heard

Doesnt seem like it vin, the more and more i read the guys keep talking about using FDR's of about 5.5, bearing in mind they are racing in much cooler conditions on better surfaced tracks etc.....I'm sure the motors perform well but I cant imagine then lasting very long using those FDR's....

Motor will overheat if it is a short twisty track....long straights, cooler outside temps and you can get away with it....but the brushes will arc a lot when labouring....so they will perish quickly and 'burn' the comm.

And on that note, I have a few 24 and 25T Robinson racing hard steel pinions if anyone wants, they are AED 24 each...

i'll take one 25T Andy..

will collect it later?

based on my experience, not much, we're racing and using 5.72 and still motors are not that much hot in 5minutes run.

Please reserve the 24 for me andy
