Chassis for brushless motor.....?

Planning on getting a brushless. Dont want to buy a hi zoot TB EVO 5 something for it.

I wanna run the stock GT as well as the GT mayhem.

My stable
1- TT01 with all the std hopups.
2- TA03 with ball bearings plus Yah racing shocks.
3- FF01 with ball bearings ,Yah racing shocks, carbon hollow shafts, metal motor mount.
4- FF02 with ball bearings ,Yah racing shocks, carbon hollow shafts, metal motor mount.

What do u guys recommend for GT mayhem?

use the tb03

I agree with Paul, use the TB03.

RWD + powerful motor = hard to control...
So it's about the TT01 and TB03. The TB03 is better in my opinion.

Sorry guys,.......its not the TB03 its the TA03. (With the forward mounted motor)

TB03 kit can handle any BL motor


before im using my TB03 for Drifting with 8.5T ballistics

Guys i made a mistake i DONT have the TB03.

TA03F, since its a belt driven chassis i guess that will do best from the rest of your kits.
And since its an F version Its known as a good drifter too

Ian used to drift his TA-03F and uses a BL system as well..

I think the only problem was that he was not able to mount a heat sink (and fans) on the motor which are very helpful especially when the weather is a little "warmer".

Some say that it's "the best" chassis for drifting.. but you're not drifting anyways so, it's pointless..

Yup.........iam not into drifting. This will be used for GT Mayhem only.

get yourself one of these rather TB03R

Good recommendation Paul. Never thought of this........
Always assumed all the pro chassis are in the region of 350 USD & up.

well, it's not a pro-kit but it's got all the adjustment that you'll need..

definitely tempted to get one of these as well..

Just read the options included on it. Impresive for the prise.
I think somebody one forum has one of these. I recall seeing the chassis during the Autodex.

yup.. almost all parts are carbon reinforced.. universal swing shafts et al..
had a look at it even before it was released.

that's why it's alluring..

What makes it short of a Prokit then? Carbon chassis ?

I'd go for the TA03, its good for touring as well!

well, let's see..

- Al bulkheads
- Al motor mount
- CF upper deck
- CF lower deck
- CF damper mounts
- Al propeller shaft & joint
- Al spur gear holder
- Precision bearing holders
- shims (?)
- Al Diff joints/FOW/Direct coupling

just about all the bling things. which if you will upgrade the TB-03R with these, would cost you more than the TB Evo5..

it's all up to you Sam.. We're merely putting up suggestions here..

and oh, I forgot..

- TRF stickers

TB03R is a great chassis, just the price of the TRF Shocks is US$45, add that to the US$160 of the standard TB03, one or two other hopups and you are in the US$200's...you get no ESC, Motor or body kit though....so they start evening out. Still a good car though. I would buy one but I am working out if it would be better to get the std TB03 and then get the upgrades I want....because they differ slightly to what is in the R kit....

If you want to use a BL in the Touring class (25T or 13T BL) then you could easily use your TT-01 ....what upgrades have you done? The minimum I would do to get a decent tourer is as follows
Alloy Prop shaft and joints
Oil-shocks (not necessarily TRF's)
High speed gear set
Steel pinions
Adjustable upper arms (front def, rear if poss)
Steering link upgrade
Team Sorex 36R tires
Bearings (obvious)

With that setup, a TT-01 would be very competitive (I think Pauls is similar to that and it goes really well)

All of that new would be more than a std TB-03, which out of the box, is very capable...

The TA03F is vintage....let her rest also, they are the same as the FF01's, you know what the problem is with hot motors in those...

.....or buy that TB Evo 4 from Vinesh......best value for money EVER......

...parts are still available, a little scarce.....but still available....

TRF cars are designed by the racing department, using racing R&D....the value cars are copied from them; so TB03 is a copy of the EVO5 in budget parts, materials and design criteria. TA05 is a copy of the TRF415 in budget parts, materials and design criteria.

Things like the TT01's, TL01's etc are all a product of the normal tamiya R&D

Think Vinesh still has a Evo 4 sat in the LHS in Deria. I nearly brought it, in fact i prob would have by now but havent made it down to the store as ive had no free time from work.

LOL so Vinesh IS Hobbies Zone then......

Haha i think they are just selling it for him and making a margin on top. I think ive been in there when one of the investors/owners have been there.

aha! so it IS true!
