Panikku's Honcho build "Tamiya TT01"

[Panikku]

You have probably already seen this, but I have now decided to go ahead with this even though school will be in (weekend project maybe).

My goal is to make a scx10/tt01 combination crawler with a honcho body (with the option of a silvia drift shell)

Here is what I'm starting with (if I don't sell it before the parts arrive, do have spare chassis):



I have just ordered these 1.9 beadlock rims off ebay. Are they any good? :



If anyone could see if a tt01 diff would fit the scx10 axle housings, I would appreciate it.

All for now,
Panikku

Not much from tamiya will fit anything from axial.
There are tamiya crawlers tho and u might find they could be used in conjunction with your tt01.

I'd honestly keep it as close the stock configuration as possible. A fully independent suspension truck can drive quite well if u lock the diffs and work in some gear reduction.
That's where I'd aim anyway.

I was thinking about putting a tamiya 3 speed in it and combine that with the scx10 axles with 4 link going back to some custom drilled holes.

Not even worth looking at the touring chassis if that's the case dude.

Those wheels are complete garbage. I bought some a few weeks ago since I needed cheap wheels and figured they can't be that bad. I was wrong, they are much worse than I could imagine. The plastic is super brittle and installing the screws will crack the rim at every hole. The rings are so soft that the force of the tire bead pressing against them will bend them so they don't hold worth a damn. It is basically money down the drain.

I've also got a set. Agree fully with what u said, but that being said, the cheap China tires go in there quite well and they seat ok n such.

Did u try putting decent tires in the beadlock?? I noticed the recess wasnt quite big enough and wouldnt seat fully which would absolutely bend and crack the rims

I tried mounting a set of Axial Ripsaws. The seemed to seat well until it was time to tighten the ring the down. The rim cracked around all of the screw holes when I was prethreading them to make installing the ring easier.

Picture please. Did you try to get a refund?

Have run everything. Pit Bulls. Treps. Mtz's tsl's rock lox.. These have really been my goto wheels. Super cheap. And with a set of mthead delrin rings they look awesome! If your running brushless they won't last as long but they still hold up well.

Can't afford brushless . Will have some tyres on the way soon when I get more progress on this build (someone suggested to make an Indy one due to being cheaper and easier)

Could someone tell me if the tt01 diffs would fit scx10 housings? Here is pics of both, they look very similar dont they.
