Hi there! Great video and information! I’m new to the RC world, I got a used TT01 stock and put a brushless motor in it, but it ate the 61t plastic spur gear. I bought a metal spur gear 70T . Still have not installed it but was wandering if that could be done? If not , how can I make it work? I still have not he stock pinion! Thank you for the help!

[@PopalongRC]

Tt01 is restricted with the gearing based on the motor mount and therefore 61-58-55 are the spur options. What are you using the car for… just bashing or racing or drift . High speed brushless motors will wear the gears quickly. Running brushed motors I am still on original gears and cars are a couple of years old …

[@braskathroughthegames698]

​​@@PopalongRCI'd like to add an extra question to this comment... I got an extra tt02 high speed gear set for my tt01e, I can not use the 68T spur that comes with it? *edit I also have the tt01 alum motor mount if that makes a difference

[@PopalongRC]

I have seen people mod their TT01’s to fit TT02 gearing but it is not something we have done

[@Dirkdigglar461]

Hi can I ask what’s the fastest gear set up for the t-01 ? I want to change the pinion gear and large cog but what’s the best tooth size for speed

[@chrisprud7688]

What size pinion for a 10.5 turn brushless please 🙏

[@PopalongRC]

What are you using it for???

[@chrisprud7688]

@@PopalongRC just general use mate it’s a tamiya tt-01 and fusion exceed 10.5 turn combo

[@PopalongRC]

@chrisprud7688 I would start mid range and then build up but you need to keep an eye on the temp of the motor. Also 10.5 brushless might wear your gears quicker than normal . Some clubs race them with 21.5turn and it is more than enough on a track. However just on the street 10.5 might be ok

[@insertnameherereee2802]

I just put a 17.5t in my Euro Truck Buggyra just for fun - what pinion should I run with the stock 61t Thank You

[@friktionrc]

roflmao!! I literally have that chart saved on my phone as there's always someone either at the track or on one of the many Facebook pages asking about this hahahaha... Good break down of grearings and ratios - so diffenrence between 'high' or tall gearing compared to 'short' gearing. Also good to see difs getting a look in...depending on whats allowed at each club/race series rules, some have to be left stock, whilst others can be locked/upgraded.. Great vid mate 👌👍

[@PopalongRC]

We have not got strict rules in place at the moment but our diff is completely stock.

[@twatts6452]

Do you use a setup table for racing? If you do, could you do a how to...Please and Thank you :)

[@PopalongRC]

We used to use them when we ran touring cars, but the Tt01 isn’t really precision enough to warrant using one, but we could definitely do a video on how to use one, thanks for the suggestion👍

[@markschroeder1214]

Trying to get tt01 to 3.5 fdr not sure how to do with the gear Tamiya makes

[@PopalongRC]

We are planning a video on getting more out of TT01 gearing but it require modifying

[@Ruben3D]

Which position a,b,c,d for pinion 29T/ spur 55?

[@PopalongRC]

Sorry it does not look like it is an option. It would require an aftermarket motor mount

[@Ruben3D]

@@PopalongRC it works with D :)

[@Nordlicht05]

Interesting... I build my first kit (Tamiya tt02) this year and got the mesh wrong. Gladly I tested it and it was very hard to push 😅 I have a ftx buggy with a stripped plastic spur. I installed a metal one and now the brass pinion spills shavings everywhere. The gears are super smooth into each other. Makes me angry 😡🤣

[@PopalongRC]

There is definitely a knack to getting the mesh right and it is key if you want your gears to last … thanks for watching

[@cutterbacon]

If you have mesh issues simply use a strip of paper it says how to do this in the build manual so if you have further issues just buy a traxxas or wltoys.

[@Rev792]

If u get that after market motor mount u don’t have to do so much math correct?
