Do I need to change wheels

[haowee]

I just bought a 1/10 tamiya rc car. I just run it for 4 times. On the fourth time I went to a carpark and play. I realised that the car will start to slide when I slow down and turn. is it normal. The chasis I use it the tt-01.

actually...TT-01 is widely used by lotsa drifters...so if u say slide, itz considered normal i think...

Hi, i suggest you check the "dog bones" connecting the wheel to the differential. My V1S started sliding around a few years back and i changed to foam tires. After that, it continued to slide around. I realised that one of the front dog bones was missing.

[haowee]

Is there any way to make it stop drifting. I also checked the whole car and everything is there.

fishtailing of your car can mean alot of things, from shocks, ride height, tyres, camber etc. I know that a TT01 cannot change the camber or toe. but i am sure stiffness of the shocks and maybe ride height can be changed.

[haowee]

ya can be changed. But should I change the shocks to stiffer or softer. And should the ride height be higher or lower.

standard, rear height always higher than front. check this first. if all ok, then try to soften the rear shocks. and do 1 step, run the car to try, so you know which is giving you problem

[haowee]

how do I soften the shocks. I change them to other shocks isit.

check the height first lah. your shocks if i not wrong is friction shocks, not much u can do about it

[haowee]

Can I change to the other type of shocks.

[sspp]

Can I change to the other type of shocks.

can...tamiya got hop up shocks

[haowee]

Roughly about how much to change it to the hop up shocks.

80..but i suggest you try to check everything before spending the money

Er..... slow down and turn, it slide?
Slide? Understeer? Oversteer? Fishtail?
Using what tyres?
Is tyre rubbing against the bumper when full turn?
Is ball bearings in the kunckles blinding?
Too much movement on the dogbone?
Did the front dip down so much that it scrap the floor when slow down and turn?

Sorrie too many questions.. hope can find the answers to it.

Hope this help
