Tamiya TL-01 Maximum Gear Ratio Top Speed GPS Verified

Check out this video of the tuned TL-01



The TL-01 has been an excellent choice for budget and beginning r/c-ers. Along the way
some of us get the bug and start modifying the ole chassis. This quickly becomes a fun experiment of what to change and what the benefit is. The first is usually an upgrade to oil filled shocks, tuned springs and a speed-tuned gear.



After that came lightweight parts and an anti-roll bar. Then (for some) upgrading a diff. Well, here
is a heavily modified and tuned TL-01.



Not bad for a 15 year old chassis which was designed in the days of ESC's and brushed
motors. Pretty impressive that this chassis can even handle the power from today's modern brushless systems and LiPo batteries.



Runs pretty quick, video in the link below. GPS verified top speed in the 40 mph range
