Drift Project: Tamiya TT01 E Build / Upgrade Series - Episode 1

A short first video for this project but tear downs are quite straight forward and are pretty much the same across this sort of platform of RC.

RC Drifting has exploded over the past few years. So, after watching loads of other people drifting an array of awesome looking RCs, I really wanted to get involved in the drifting scene. I bought some drift wheels and tyres and tried drifting with the 'Rally Project' before the rebuild, just to give it a go. It worked surprisingly well with open diffs and I really enjoyed it.

So the hunt was on for a used RC to turn into an awesome drift car. I hopped onto eBay and found a TL01 but when it arrived it was a complete mess with cracks in the chassis and almost every hole was stripped. Back onto eBay and I found this TT01 E. It was brand new and at £40, it was a bargain. It came with a Nissan GTR body but it was a really cheap one, painted yellow......BADLY and was cut out with normal scissors so there were tiny cracks around each wheel arch.

I've got loads of upgrades planned being as the stock setup is pretty bad. Between the plastic drive shaft, plastic bushings, chunky plastic drive cups and dogbones and standard shocks, its a wonder they ever sold it like this. Stay tuned for the makings of a wicked drift car.

Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
