Tamiya TL01

Anyone had much experience with this car? I know it needs massive upgrades to compete, but can it be done? I have concerns for the driveline in it, is it fairly efficient or can it be made so?

As the guy before said bearings! Get them they work alot better than the nylon bushings. Get oil shocks the lightweight driveshaft from To Bee and some Super slicks with High density foam inserts. Had the tires for about 4 months and are still holding up (little wear). The lightweight chassis would be a smart investment of 15 dollarsalong with TG10 almn rear hubs and almn pin wheel adapters. Get either a good stock motor (Peak Spitfire) or a decent mod (Team Orion Chrome Mod). Other than that go all out on it. Replace those junky lower arms with the hard single peice set from Cross Racing along with their foam bumper. With all those mods and the Spitfire stocker the thing will really fly. I dont plan on racing mine until March when I plan on putting another 900 or so dollars into it to go race up at Indy.
