Well, I picked up a TL01 from a guy on my local car club yesterday. Tore it completely down to clean it and also found that it is missing the cups and axles for the front making it RWD only instead if AWD. Well I wanted a drifter out of it anyway so I took it the rest of the way apart to make it properly RWD only instead of just having the cups and axles removed. Most people use AWD and drift tire/PVC around the tires. I want to get RWD RC drifter a shot. After putting a new motor and speed control in it then it was time to test. The car slide pretty nice.. still learning how to get some longer drifts. This morning I was playing with it, gave alittle gas and the car stepped out as planned so I let off alittle to try and hold it and it snapped dirrections and SMACK!!! Right into the curb. I have it part way fixed so I can use it till I get a new chassis.

looks good, other than the gaping hole on the front, if you get some PVC or ABS pipe, it will stay sideways

I have some drift tires on another set of wheels but with it being RWD it goes nowhere.

That is why the TL-01 has a bumper that actually holds the two halves together. bummer

Yep, I put it back on there now but it still isn't 100% straight. A new chassis and about 10 min and I will be good to go.

Good find if you like fixing things up for maybe a project car. I tried getting into it, but a Baja 5B is calling my name.
