yea la.so it's no difference between the both eh? what abou the remote that comes with the expert built? is it ok? the fellow at the tamiya shop was telling that remote is so so only as it has no digital display, showing the cars settings and all....and can we really do the car's settings tru the remote? that's what the shop fellow said to me

lol the slightly plum malay guy is it? he's a nice chap, explained everything that I'm about to explain to you now tongue.gif

yup, no difference also in the car, but you won't understand your car well. the only throwback is the remote, and I believe what he meant is that the remote's transmitter module is analog, I think. about the settings, the XB control also can adjust various trims, but the higher end remote controllers that you see will have more features and more tunability i.e. ABS, different profiles that can be saved, etc.

most of the tuning you do on the remote only involves the servo and ESC. if lets say you want to adjust your toe, camber, suspension geometry all of course must do by hand and this is where knowing your car VERY well comes in handy wink.gif

what the problem and what's the type? if it's like those GuangDong or ZhenShou or any other weird chinese named brands then might as well just get new one.. and rarely does a problem occur to a battery and it's minor, if got problem most probably mean out of commision already..

Tamiya don't have rights to any D1 cars, only Yokomo got. Instead, Tamiya has rights to road racing cars, rally cars and street cars. So, for Yokomo, it will be Hobby Haven in Subang.

nono, you can get any bodyshell you want, all you have to do is drill a hole for the stubs that hold the bodyshell if they're not already there. so far the only custom bodyshell makers in the market I know are from ABC Hobby, they have Estimas, trucks, Honda Civics, and all the other funny cars la laugh.gif

Okay okay, I'll explain to you thoroughly and maybe put in the front page also so that newbies can use as a guide.

d) Bearings
e) Remote control
f) Remote control receiver
g) Servo (the unit that will steer the car)
h) 6 cell battery
i) Charger for the battery
j) Bodyshell of your choice

2. Ready made
a) Car kit (w/motor, wheels, remote control, receiver, servo and bodyshell)
b) 6 cell battery
c) Charger for the battery

Naka7a, try to check other forums or Lelong for used TT01s. Not interested in other chassis'? I think I got someone who is selling their TA04, Yokomo CGM and Yokomo SSG. Read up on the specs and let me know if you're interested.

Smartech can also, just change tyre, stiffer springs and add bearings (if got) and can already

correction, it's TA03, CGM and TT01. I'm asking for you now, will let you know later. as it is the TT01 looks mad hopped up (upgraded) and may be more expensive than retail stock TT01 price. TA03 also hopped up but cheap since it's old chassis. Don't ask me about Yokomo tongue.gif
