The Speed Gem 12T motor asploded (actually it started smoking) so i put the silver can motor in it instead.

Ummm this is a TT-01 thread....

People who want TT-01's, have TT-01's, or are thiking about them post here.

Please keep it clear of other cars, you may want to try the tamiya show off thread.

I found out what happened to the Speed Gem 12T motor. It got toasted because the two wires melted together.
The stock silver can really does make the power of a mosquito.

bIGmiK

A 27t motor in the TT-01 is acrually really fast and give it great power is you gear it correctly.

mindwreck

probably overheated the motor too or not using the proper gauge wire. . the wires shouldn't get that hot ...

bIGmiK

Yeah I always got warm wires when using low turn motors, but not super hot.

Also make sure you are using deans plugs.

Raguvian

I wasn't using Deans.
The back casing of the motor is melted too. Is it repairable?
Luckily my battery didn't short out.

bIGmiK

Melted?

The wires fell off the motor and the solder melted? Is that what you are trying to say?

Raguvian

Maybe that explains it better. Basically i think the wires were too thin and had too much resistance so they created too much heat and melted together.

rcluke

don't bother with deans, for the most power, solder your ESC straight to your motor.

Raguvian

That's what my friend did with his speed gem motor and ESC, but now that the motor is fried, i have to use the teu101bk instead.

mindwreck

o wow. thats really bad. ditch it and get a new motor.. if it got that hot the magnets are going to be toast too

Raguvian

I'm just happy that the battery didn't get toasted too.
We just saw the motor smoking and practically ripped off the body to disconnect the battery.
Phew.

Here's is my brushless TT-01 with hand painted rims and new body:

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my TT-01 (sry if wrong place to post)
Setup: TT-01, RS540 Sport Tuned Motor and Heatsink, Upper arm kit, Alloy Propeller shaft, Ball bearings, TEU-101BK and Futaba MJ Radio Gear.

1. I have symptoms of Glitching (Interference?), inconsistant power-on (throttle response). I have swapped my motors out to see if that was the issue, but the problem still persists. I was previously running my radio gear in a Kyosho V one S in the same area with no interference problems at all. This points to the ESC(?) I know... not too sure. Can someone please help/ offer opinion?

2. I have a concerning humming noise comming from my Spur/ Pinion. Sounds like they may be wearing/ not running smoothly? Can someone please recommend the next optimum step up for spur pinion, geared for a bit more speed, but not to much stress on motor? or somewhere I can look?

- Can someone please help!

Thanks in advance.
regards,
Unique1.

P.S -> I'm a drifter

hi,. im new,, s osorry if i post to the wrong thread. i got my tt-01 a few weeks ago, i raced 1/10 cars a long time ago, when the frog and original rc/10 was the hot ticket. but i got this tt-01 ( sti version ) and its great. ive got some nice upgrade stuff for it, 19t motor, 4200 battery, novak esc, lots of hop up parts. more on the way if i can find them. i got most of my parts from ebay, none of my local shops have parts for it. ive found some but not a very big selection. i hate ebay, then you have to wait for weeks to get your stuff. anyone in SO Cal ( LAX area ) know of a good hobby shop that carries tt-01 hop up parts?

anyway ide like to get to a track, i know of so cal reaceway in huntington beach area. probly head there some time soon. anyway here are some pics of my sti tt-01. comments on it please, and advise if any...

Nice TT-01.
Nice car too, is it a manual?

Raguvian

BTW, you got the IB4200's that i wanted! They were all out of stock on Tower.[:@]
I got the 3800's instead. Oh well, still a great battery.

Nubus

Wha! Patrick! Your close by to me. We should met up sometime, I wanted to take my tt-01 to the tracks over there. The thing is... I'm running into the same problem as you are. I went to every hobby shop imaginable around LA, they all don't carry some or at all any TT-01 parts. Me and mindwreck thinks cause the factory is so close by... they can just order it and would arrive the next day. There use to be this one store The Hobby Place, but they had to downsize but they would hook me up with good prices. It's out in Monterey Park near Alhambra.


Nice ride by the way.

mindwreck

nice subarus. both the 1:1 and RC. my dream car. me and nubus used to bash around, but now im away for school. always looking for more tamiya (and subaru) fans to bash with. Im jealous of your banners in the background. Everytime i request for one they say they don't have any in stock[:'(]

STi is only offered in manual. He could have a WRX with STi front brakes and rota tarmacs and then it would be possible to have an auto transmission. Can't really tell as the best viewpoint has the car out of focus.

qwksti

hi,, its a real STi, www.qwksti.com

also,, i would love to hook up and run the tt-01. let me know when you go out,, im there.... i go to a parking lot near my house, its wide open and no one uses it on the weekend, its perfect for open drifting.


patrick
p.s. if this wont show its a STi, not sure what will.. i guess a swap is possible... but im no fake...
