Im going to bring this back to life… Ive been out of this hobby for years now, however im debating on getting back in. Only for the reason that there is FINALLY a legit track going up. Indoors also so its all year. RC Kinetics, troy NY. I just moved out here and noticed the sign on a building and looked it up. Hes a old pro r/c ‘racer’ and is building an indoor dirt track (jumps/dips/whoops etc), and a asphalt onroad which will be converted to carpet in winter. Anyhow is anyone else into the racing scene? I never messed with electric but did race nitro and it was a blast but driving 3+hrs sucked. He claims it will be a legit track which could become part of the pro circuit. ---

It will take you a few good hours, especially if youre anal like me and have to sand down every bit of flash from the plastic parts. The TT01 is mostly plastic, plastic tub, arms pretty much everything. Not sure what the D package actually gives you, prob a one way diff or something. Only problem I had making mine, some screws can be very hard to get started, the plastic of the chassis is very strong. I have more fun building them than running them I think sometimes. I def suggest a kit, TT01 is a great starter. Easily assembled, only thing I find annoying is the tiny shock pieces. ---

They deff are mote to build and hop up, especially if you like tinkering with things. ---

hmm, now im looking into the TT01 chassis. i’ve wanted a 2WD slash forever, but the on-road cars seem alot cheaper. ---

AWD slash with hard tires would drift just fine. The big hassle I find with on road is there is never any pavement smooth enough. If I get back into RC a plastic starter kit. Carbon parts break too much! I would like to get a slash or similar and meet in Washington Park or something. ---
