FAQs

Is this car ready to run out of the box?

No, this is an assembly kit and requires building, painting, and the purchase of extra electronics like a radio, servo, and battery.

Can I use different tires on this chassis?

Yes, the TT-01 Type-E uses standard 1/10 scale touring car wheel hexes, making it compatible with various aftermarket tires.

What type of paint should I use for the body?

You must use Tamiya PS paint, which is specially formulated for polycarbonate/Lexan bodies.

Are the LED lights pre-installed?

No, you will need to install the LEDs and wire them into the chassis as part of the assembly process.

Is this suitable for a first-time hobbyist?

Yes, Tamiya's TT-01 platform is well-known for being beginner-friendly with clear, step-by-step assembly instructions.

Troubleshooting

Car is pulling to one side during acceleration

Check the steering trim on your radio transmitter and ensure the 3-piece tie-rod linkage is centered.

Motor runs but car does not move

Verify that the pinion and spur gear are properly meshed and that the drive shafts are correctly seated.

LED lights are not functioning

Check all electrical connections between the LED unit and the power source, ensuring the plugs are fully inserted and wires are not crimped.

  • Proven, reliable TT-01 Type-E platform
  • Highly detailed and accurate scale body styling
  • Excellent center of gravity for stable cornering
  • Includes essential LED light units
  • Versatile and upgradable chassis design

Cons

  • Requires significant assembly time and skill
  • Additional components like radio gear and battery are not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To complete this assembly kit, you will need to acquire a 2-channel radio transmitter/receiver, a steering servo, a 7.2V battery pack, and a compatible charger. The body shell is delivered clear, necessitating the use of Tamiya PS series paint for polycarbonate plastics. During assembly, ensure all moving parts are lubricated correctly to prevent friction damage. Regular care involves checking the differential gears for debris after outdoor use and inspecting the double wishbone suspension for impact damage. Keep the chassis clean using a soft brush or compressed air to ensure the moving components do not bind over time.
