EP 1/10 touring cars

[nightbreed]

Hello!

There are so many to consider. Can you all recommend a new kit (not RTR) for <SGD450?

Some that I was contemplating:

1. XRay T1R
2. AE RC10TC4
3. HPI Pro4
4. Tamiya TB02R

Thank you for your time! :)

[haowee]

Use tt-01 it is good. Crash alot of times laready. Got once the whole car flew down a flight of steps only the chasis got scratch nothing else broke. :D

[Artyspec]

haowee, he not looking at that level... look at his nominees all pro cars. XRAY looks good, i no good at electric cars, but i noe what looks nice in my point of view! :L

[nightbreed]

Wah, before people get the wrong idea, I not experienced one, hor! I just want something that I can grow with. Don;t want to buy one thing, then outgrow it and buy another. Now just dipping my fingers into everything to see what I can stick with. I figure a better car can have better resale value should I not like it.

Aesthetically, I like the Xray. But my wallet like the TC4. Notice I said nothing about performance of car... :rolleyes:

Anyway. TT-01 can go VVVRRROOOOMMM? Very impt for me. :)

[haowee]

Can hopup what. TT-01 still can hop up alot.

[nightbreed]

Hmm. Since you own one, will the cost of hopping up a TT-01 eventually equal or exceed the cost of, say, a T1R or Pro 4?

[haowee]

I think eventually will be equal. But I like it because I can slowly learn to drive and hopup when I drive better. Buy one car so expensive later crash then replace the parts very expensive also.

[Artyspec]

tt-01 more for drifting? i think tb-02 much better. can hop up more.its like v1s and v1r. then tb-02r is like v1RRR. (i think onli!!!)

[nightbreed]

Ok, then what's the difference among these Tamiya models?

TT-01
TB-02
TA-04

[Artyspec]

just l00k!

Ok, then what's the difference among these Tamiya models?

TT-01
TB-02
TA-04

TT-01 as stock has no adjustment for camber, toe. Its shaft driven and very basic. Tamiya will be launching the TT-01R and the TT-01D (Drifting) soon

TB-02 has camber adjustment and front toe adjustment. shaft driven as well. but can be quite a heavy car.

TA-04 is almost the same as the TB-02 except that it is belt driven and in its dying days coz Tamiya will launch the TA-05 very soon

Here's some pics in the recent tamiya show in Japan. You can have a look at the new cars.

If you ask me, there is no such thing as getting a car that will last you a longer time before passing it on. you can have the cheapest to the most expensive car, if you dun learn how to set the car and dun take the time and patience to slowly setup the car for your runs, you will soon want to past it on. And setting it up is only just 1 part of touring cars. Learning to drive it just smoothly without even banging is part 2 of it.

Yup, I know that. But like you pointed out, there are limits to the chassis and therefore my rationale is that if you want to be able to set up your car as you become more experienced, you might as well get a chassis that will allow you to do so. :)

TB02R is good enuff for you to learn though it dun look that good as those you pointed out

[nightbreed]

Ok, so you would recommend as a starter car as well as one that can 'grow' with you? I only pointed out that they look good because I don't have any experience with touring cars, so that's all I noticed. :L

[Orangie]

Wah, before people get the wrong idea, I not experienced one, hor! I just want something that I can grow with. Don;t want to buy one thing, then outgrow it and buy another.

Wha...... like a used 9chp also can sell at almost new price? :z :z :z
Growing with the car?.. hmmmmm.....till what state? world championship? I suggest to get a car and practice. heheheheheheh

[Orangie]

tt-01 more for drifting? i think tb-02 much better. can hop up more.its like v1s and v1r. then tb-02r is like v1RRR. (i think onli!!!)

artyspec

Drifting?.. just put on PVC tyres, any car also can drift :sneaky:

Which car is better is in the eyes of the beholder :D
TB02 already have some tuning option like the camber link, steering toe, alum centre shaft.... which TT01 dun. Does that equate to TB02 being a better car? I dunno :D

Someone did went all the way into the 'A' mains with a V1S sometime back :sneaky:

My point being: Quote from someone who I can't remember... a good car only helps to get nearer but a good driver makes it there (wherever 'there' is????) :up

Cheers... not directing at anyone and no offence to anybody :D

[fuse]

my advise dont buy shaft driven cars.

run belt drive : less problems

[Orangie]

Yup, I know that. But like you pointed out, there are limits to the chassis and therefore my rationale is that if you want to be able to set up your car as you become more experienced, you might as well get a chassis that will allow you to do so. :)

Er... would you encounter problems now when you dunno how to set it up?
Experience comes with many trial and error and testing. Think of the parts you're gonna break :D

The VROOOOMMMM part is dependent of the final gear ratio. Everything constant, meaning same ratio, motor, battery, etc, the TT-01 will go as fast as the X-Ray. :)

Agreed!!! :up

[nightbreed]

Ok, I see what you guys are driving at. So I'll just get any affordable car, bash it about a few months, break many parts, replace them and maybe at the end of it, I'll gain valuable experience and talk like I know something. Since this thread was started to ask for CAR recommendations and only the TT-01 and TB-02 have been recommended, I might as well start by deciding on these two.

Thank you everyone for your input.

Yeah that's the idea mate. I learn that way too. Learn abt driving line and just a little bit of setting up first..then slowly go pro kit... trust me.. CF berri expensive when break..plastic can take more impact..lol.

I totally agree with you. FUN in the context of RC is not picking up the tx and just starting to gun the car up and down. :nono :nono

Its the whole process of trial and errors and testing on the car to make the car run like you would want it to be. Of coz what comes along is frustration and anger at times. but at the point of getting it setup to your liking, thats the sweet dessert for yourself. And thats the whole experience that comes along with playing RC. :love :love

haiz.....now that the process for G4 is coming to an end, time to start on my TB02.... :sneaky: :sneaky:

Or take a look at the TA04.. its belt drive

RC is not just drag race only... Also have to learn to hold the line, shut doors, bump others butt and cause others to crash out hahahahha
The pleasure of buying is shortlive while the pleasure of setting up a car last longer.. and frustrations too.. :bh :bh

Oi.. dun talk about your kuku G4 here lah.. Its EP thread .. not GP.
Stuff your kuku, always kanna jiak G4 a side lah.. :D :D

[bobolang]

no point getting a TB02R...might as well fock out abit more for a ver1.1 pro 4................ unless we r talking abt TT or TB02....and upgrade later.....

[bobolang]

My point being: Quote from someone who I can't remember... a good car only helps to get nearer but a good driver makes it there (wherever 'there' is????) :up

i like yr point thats why i had to get good car becoz i had no skill :L :L :L :L

[haowee]

But I dont know y my tt-01 cover cannot fit the car. When I put it on the cover will rub against the back wheels. now I have to cut the hole so big so that the wheels wont hit the tires. :bh

[ethinger]

hi fellow members,
i used to play rc cars, now am with the heli guys. when i was playing cars.
i had the YOKOMO mr4tc, AE tc3, the HPI pro 3, and the Losi xxx,
let me tell you some which i prefered when i was a beginner.
the RC10 tc 3 would probably have the best handling, and easiest to set up, having said that, the newer chasis which am familiar is the tc4. the YOKOMO
cars are really sweet also, you should check them out.
cornering speed with front one way is like just as fast as going on a straight!
but the problem with it was, that parts are very brittle, they are strong,
but they break easily.
the XRAY should be your best bet, because like you said,
u want to grow with it right?
well i havent seen any upgraded tt chasis won anything,
it was all by XRAY, AE, LOSI.
so if you are really wanting to save moneym XRAY should be for u,
becuase in the end, you will want to go with a car that is for racing,
you can't compare a souped HONDA with any Ferrari. :evil :evil :evil
anyway, these are some of my opinions,
i didnt play rc cars for 3 years now,
kinda rusty... lol

[nightbreed]

Thank you everyone for your replies. In the end I placed an order for the 2004 HPI Pro4. Taking delivery by next Tuesday! :)

Hmm. Now to think about motor and body. And soldering, too, I think. :z

[haowee]

how much does the 2004 hpi pro 4 costs?

[Artyspec]

any1 tried the yokomo drifter at winnie? 300++ without electronics. seems good... :up

[nightbreed]

Ok, next question for all you RC enthusiasts:

You all know I'm getting the Pro 4 next week. So:

1. What's a nice motor I can put on it that i can use to learn how to handle the car?

2. And the ESC? Is the Super Rooster ok? Or can something cheaper and as good be had?

3. Servo: I figure I need one that has a faster response than torque?

Thank you! :)

I'm not a guru but I think the Tamiya Super Stock motor or similar ones will be a nice one to start.

Super Rooster is huge and is made more for a MT. You might want a smaller ESC for your Pro 4.

Servo, best to have a high torque/speed ones. If money is not a problem, ppl's favourite will be Sanwa's VR type. IMO, Hitec's HS-625MG should be more than enough. $62+ oni. :up

Hmm. I considered Super Rooster becos it has no motor limit and takes up to 10 cells. Maybe use for T4. Transfer 330CR to Pro4? Or what else is worth considering? M'troniks?

http://shop.rotor.com.sg/show-detail.asp?prodid={1CBB334C-DC12-486D-AF8C-59C2F52CF639}

Heheh, I got a spare Hitec 625MG. Yay!

hmmmm ... ESC with no motor limit ....... I like tat. :D :D :D It's good to go for tat if you have $$ to spare. In future if you feel like upgrading ur motor to lesser turn U will not have to worry about the ESC :up

10 cells!!! :z :z :z I'm not sure if any 540 motor other than brushless can take the load. And your T4 got space for 10 cells?

Have you considered LRP F1 Pro Reverse? 4 - 7 cells, no limit, reverse, and some ppl use it to run 2 motors for MTs. Best thing is it's relatively cheap at <$160. M'tronics E-Truck ESC is ex, but not as ex as Super Rooster. Good thing about Mtroniks is they are waterproof. :up

[Mad Armour]

Sonik 3 Sport Plus? Think the F1 Pro Reverse is better. :up

Ha! My ignorance is showing....540 motor can take up to how many cells, max? Cannot modify battery holder, meh? Can use zip ties to strap it down? Anyway, the point is moot if 540 motor cannot tahan. Winnie bring in LRP?

How about LRP Digital ESC with no motor limit.

Hehehe...I have no answer for you, but dun think they can tahan 10 cells. 7 yes, 8 maybe.

Yah, Winnie brings in LRP. Think she has stock for the F1 Pro Reverse. She said she has this when I asked her about the S Rooster last week.

Hope this might help.

And here's the calculator (http://www.macctrack.co.uk/rollout.html)

HPI has already made things easy for you by giving a chart the final ratios and the recommended ratios for different motors, so go with the recommendation and it should be the right number to start. :up

Oh nuts. If a kit calls for 24mm tyres/wheels and I buy 26mm, am I in trouble? :z

[Mad Armour]

??? Use spacer wouldn't it make the wheel stick out more and rub more against the body? :confuse:

[Mad Armour]

??? Use spacer wouldn't it make the wheel stick out more and rub more against the body? :confuse:

Er.....dun think it will happen, unless you dun cut out the wheel arch from the body. :L :L :L Anyway, spacer's 1 - 2 mm nia.

[nightbreed]

So, I guess 26mm is ok, then?

alamak, then no problem since I got the wheels from HPI for a HPI car. Correct? Hmm....I fit in then say. :P:P:P

use offset wheels lor :D

[haowee]

how does everyone cut the wheel arch. My wheel arch very rough.

[Artyspec]

me too. i use my x-acto knife to do a scratch then tear.

[haowee]

tear also very rough. I use knife very hard to cut.

[haowee]

Does the racecraft infinity sell tt-01 bodyshell. My bodyshell bumber broke already.

[Mad Armour]

use offset wheels lor :D

Actually they are rather difficult to find. :( Just like my Yokomo.

[Mad Armour]

Is it you use curved scissors? I also want to cut cut wheel arch sui sui. :)

I dun have a curved lexan scissors. I just used a cutter to make a score along the lexan, and just tear it. If you score nicely, the separation line will be sui sui! :up

After putting together the Pro4, I have learnt several things:

1. It's NOT about speed.
2. It's ALL about control.
3. I'd rather play with buggies and trucks.

Also:

4. When I brake, my car swerves to the right.
5. I must learn how to control throttle and brake on the Tx.
6. Racing slicks suck on HDB carpark and void deck floors. Very slippery.
7. When reaming body shell, make damn sure to mark the holes out properly.
8. Carbon fibre scratches just as easily as plastics and aluminum.

I'd like to know why no.4 happens. Also, the car doesn;t seem to want to brake. Do I have to adjust end point towards higher brake bias?

Thank you! :)

[fuse]

pro 4 is ep or nitro?

i believe you are running on one way front diff. try to balance your suspension system.

[haowee]

I also got one problem. If I buy another bodyshell from tamiya will there be holes or must I make my own holes.

[fuse]

tamiya should have holes liao to fit i the actual model.

protoform cover would not have holes.

[Mad Armour]

I also got one problem. If I buy another bodyshell from tamiya will there be holes or must I make my own holes.

IMO, a good practise is NOT to depend on the holes marked if you change bodyshell, unless the bodyshell is specifically made for the car.

I mark the holes and ream them BEFORE painting. Makes life much easier afterwards.

[bobolang]

I see, I see. :) But then have to be very careful when u cut, right? The lexan very slippery. To me.

oh when u got hpi shell, those small dot r ready for yr pro4 :L :cool:

[nightbreed]

oh when u got hpi shell, those small dot r ready for yr pro4 :L :cool:

Nope, they aren't. At least not the rear dots. They r badly off position.

Anyway, just gotta live with it.

Thanks everyone who replied. :) :up

[haowee]

So if I get tamiya bodyshell can put on my tt-01 with holes provided.

althought i got a pro4 but i havent had a chance to try out, but i thought in hpi webby they say holes r premark for pro4? :sleep

[Mad Armour]

Before you paint, put the shell onto your TT-01. If the holes corresponds to the mounting post, then it's OK. If not, you've gotta mark the new position.

[haowee]

I still dunno what to paint on my new bodyshell. I think if cannot think of anything paint one colour only. Will it look nice?

[Mad Armour]

Can't really answer your question.....guess it's individual. :rolleyes:

[Artyspec]

best is put flame design with pearl paint sprays! (those translucent first coat the second coat of silver to make it a pearl colour!)

[haowee]

second coat can use chrome or not.

[nightbreed]

pro 4 is ep or nitro?

i believe you are running on one way front diff. try to balance your suspension system.

Apparently if you set your throttle to -50% on your Tx, the problem is solved. Thanks, MA. Now when I brake, the car slows down in a straight line. Yay! :) :up At -40%, it still veers right. So 50 seems like the magic number. :rolleyes:

Think you meant the brake exponential or EPA. :L :L :L If throttle, at 50%, your car will go only 50%. :)

So wat actually happened was when you brake at 100%, you have a wheel lock at the rear. This cause the rear to lose traction and oversteered.

Think you meant the brake exponential or EPA. :L :L :L If throttle, at 50%, your car will go only 50%. :)

Yah...they are 2 different thing. I asked him to adjust one of those and check.

Is the ESC programmable? Maybe thats the cause as well.

EPA : end point adjustment
ATV/Dual Rate : 2 setting on servo travel
expo: makes the center travel less with more or less expo. used to tame the controls near netural

Same MCR330 as ours.

...er.....ya, the exponential thingy was changed. My Tx LCD got this graph that shows Steering and Throttle. So I just changed the Throttle thing to -50%.

Anybody know anything about this:

[haowee]

y everyone all program their esc? when I bought my transmitter and esc I only connect it to the reciever and trim the steering and throttle then started playing. I did not need to program anything.

Today I went to the Great RCsale. After a bit of rummaging around in that little hellhole :P managed to get just one Futaba servo. Wah, I see people grab planes left right centre. One guy bought 3 or 4 planes and only paid like $286!!! Kinda made me think I was missing out on something.

Anyway, I made my way to the HPI Works Challenge Free and Control Practice at Margaret Drive. Saw in person the World Champ giving tips and pointers. Since I shy guy ( :rolleyes: :L ) I never talk to him. But saw in action some cars. Mostly Pro 4. Wah. Makes me aspire.

Then, gong-gong, I didn't even know BK's shop is there. I always thot it was at Turf City (donno why). There was this container near the track. After spending about 1 hour hanging around looking at the cars, started to wonder what was in the container. Saw on a small whyteboard a notice telling drivers to pay 1st before using track, signed BK......Hey. Took a peep into the container.....and saw a bit of Heaven.

Then the god of that small bit of Heaven took $530 from me. :L

(Of course I gave it to him willingly :P )

In all, a good day.

Tomorrow I shall try not to mess up the $530 purchase.
