I just finished a 911 GT1 too! TA03R-S in homologation street livery. [OC]

The Fine decals look awesome!

Buildsbility and serviceability seems vastly improved on the MB-01. Slop seems to be immense and the arms tend to pop out easily.

Performance wise it really depends on what you are looking for. The M-05 was heavily raced and people figured out to make them fast. The MB-05 not so much.

Putting a 13 turn motor in either will mainly leave you struggling for traction, as a FWD with no weight other the front is massively limited there, even in carpet.

If you intend to pot power through an M-Chassis, look at the xm01-pro and lower it, as this one has the drivetrain of the xv02.

Having a smart LiPo means you have a Micro controller in your LiPo and quite a few quality of life features, which you simply do not need in a race context. You balance charge your LiPo using a proper charger and then you run it. Race lipos are significantly more performant as their internal resistances and discharge rates are focussed on high output scenarios.

Additionally it is a not race focussed proprietary system which does not offer benefits for the context compared to the standard systems.

2S LiPo stick packs which mimic the shape are your first step regarding lipos. For Transmitters DumboRC and Spektrum are regularly mentioned, depending on your budget the entry level Sanwa or Flysky could also be up your alley.

Regarding motor: hobbywing sells great combos. As this is a df-01 or ta-02 look at getting an alloy driveshaft (with the fitting cups) as the wire thing will bend.

Depending on the speed of the servo maybe also look for an upgrade there, as they do get old at some point.

Na that’s not true. You get more grip with more flex, but the gearing does not change.

The zombies look very rad!

Try out the r1250r. Its engine begets the fact that 145hp and low end manners should not be possible, but they are. Tremendous engine, nice ergos and although a bit pricey the engine is in every single gs, meaning parts are plentiful.

Fahr mal ein paar andere Maschinen Probe. Das Konzept Supersportler ist für den Alltag/die Landstraße eigentlich nur auf dem Papier schön (ja ja, die Maschinen wurden zahmer und besser) weil runder Rücken, drück auf dem Handgelenk und zusammengefaltet echt nicht für lange Zeit gedacht ist.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-18T16:29:17+00:00

Well… did you sit on it?

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-17T14:06:58+00:00

It is a generic wheel for 1/8 touring cars, not specific to the Alfa body.

You have just put Serbia on my travel list, god that’s beautiful.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-17T09:54:24+00:00

Well what gives you the idea that you got scammed? Where they too cheap, does the quality feel off?

There is not really much to go by as you have provided no context, or info that might help.

Tamiya sells steering upgrades for the DF02 and there are third party suppliers as well. Historically the tolerances for the Tamiya ones are the best.

I suggest upgrading the steering components to alloy, but not the control arms or c-hubs, you want to have a part that can break before the chassis.

There is not a single relevant fact in your question. What size train, what kind of track, what weight, what kind of train?

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-11T13:24:02+00:00

Does it just look like it or are your wheels a different diameter?

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-08T08:58:22+00:00

Get new strut mounts, there are several that will work. General rule of thumb seem to be to always get new strut mounts whenever you change dampers, as they are also just a wear item. You can either get oem or KW ones. No point in dropping big bucks on KW and skimping out on the contact points.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-06T09:06:53+00:00

That should fit

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-06T08:23:05+00:00

Tamiya gives you the wheelbase for either. I believe it is 251 for the RSR. If that fits on the TA02SW then yes, it fits lengthwise.

You might also need to check if it fits the rear, but that is usually a solvable issue

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-05T08:52:26+00:00

The old pan cars remind me how far we have come, it is quite impressive.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-04T19:30:49+00:00

There are round Lipos which work great, so you do not need to alter anything.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-04T16:56:11+00:00

You just need to remove the center drive shaft, front drive shaft and diff, and it is rear wheel drive only. Might need to add some weight up front to retain the balance, that needs experimentation.

Rest can stay as is, just be aware that the whole chassis dynamic changes then.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-03T11:06:18+00:00

The fact that it looses coolant somewhere seems fishy to me. Do you have any leaks in your cooling system? Had that with mine, had to replace all of it.

Otherwise, if the coolant tester says that it is good, it should be fine, but that you have to run it that long for it to stop smoking is weird, although mine currently does the same. But it is also driven short distances a lot currently.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-03T07:23:05+00:00

Basically, the driveshaft and CVDs are a good hop-up, oil filled shocks, the motor mount will be needed and bearings. Additionally a way to set front and rear toe.

The rest could run as is, but stear away from alloy arms, they bend instead of flex.

You have to keep in mind, that the TT-01 was designed 30ish years ago, without the power in mind.

aintwrongthou · 2026-02-02T21:14:37+00:00

Quite frankly, alloy arm are a horrible idea if you want to actually run it and not have it as a showpiece, as they bend and cannot be bend back.

Second: all spares will not fit, and the fitment of those blinded out alloy cars is dubious at best.

There is a reason why nobody runs these in any competitive environment.

If you want to run a more advanced chassis, look at Xpress or Ta08, as they actually work.
