Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Mate, how much does the chassis weight without battery? cheers |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Thanks guys. Hopefully there will be some video of the DRXs and XV-01s coming from the race we had on saturday."thumbsup" Quote:
No real updates, except a breakage report. I have had to replace all the rod ends in the front end, they kept popping off, Looking for a way to replace them all with standard ball rod ends. I also broke a front A arm, but in all fairness to the car I jumped it WAY to big and deserved the break. :ror: As far as tuning all I have done in the last couple weeks is add some more preload to the front shocks. I ran my sipped Tamiya rally blocks on saturday and they worked very well, these and the Academy tires are the best loose dirt tires I have used. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4273small.jpg The car did great and stayed in one piece for the race, I couldn't ask for more. "thumbsup" A few dirty photos. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4966small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4967small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4969small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4970small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4971small.jpg -Ty |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Definitely impressed with how it ran on Saturday Ty...This car has such a smooth sound to it. So is the regular kit what you have? I thought I read Rodney had the Pro kit but the extra cost wasn't worth it. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
The things I feel are important to upgrade are the toe blocks (xj1, mj1, etc.) and the slipper clutch. I am pretty sure the pro kit doesn't come with either. I think the extra price is for all the fancy blue metal parts, they look nice, but are not really needed. The one thing the pro kit has that I do like are the CVDs, but I think only the fronts are needed to increase steering. A good servo saver should also be on the things to get. I try to keep pretty good tabs on everything that I have experienced with this car in this thread. Take a good read through, if I forgot about something let me know. "thumbsup" |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Grabbed a couple photos from the event last weekend of the XV-01s running' There were 4 XV-01s at the event a green 2008 Subaru STI, a White Lancia Delta, A orange, black and white 2001 Subaru STI and mine. Here are some photos: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4678small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4702small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...y/DSC_6760.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4650small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4655small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4659small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4572small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...DEAEF392D9.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...DF8799D648.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4423small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4940small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...IMG_3838-1.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._4947small.jpg Video: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0kM3qvu_dpw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And the latest carnage report: I slapped some tarmac tires on today and notice the car was pulling pretty hard and not wanting to slide. I pulled the belt cover off to see the belt had flipped and was partially shredded. The front pulley teeth were also missing. I have been driving the car quite a bit and probably should have been checking the belt, so I partially blame myself, but I wasn't expecting the front pulley to be stripped as well. I have a spare belt, but will have to order some pulleys oh well, at least we over a month before the next event. "thumbsup" |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
could you put a picture of the shredded belt..? thx a bunch.. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
Turtle, I've read somewhere that there is a aluminum pulley available somewhere. I dont rememeber exactly, but I suppose its the TA-06'. Keep it up! |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
hopefully it's gonna be fixed soon enough :) mine ran on brushed system in the mean time, while still learning how to handle it correctly.. but then everyone has their own favourite set up, right?! |

I like to include the carnage reports so everyone can see the extreme end of the abuse and what "could" fail if you drive the car a lot on a very over powered system. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
noted on: belt tension + not 100% bulletproof + driving styles + power system I just remembered, that front pully is not exactly what we may called covered.. it's not is it? the belt cover just run over the belt with a little arc on the front side then added with a back cover which installed/uninstalled together.... that might be an entry way where rocks may slip onto the front side of the cover ;-) one more I did learned from your "carnage" report is that the Separate Suspension Mounts are also a weak point of breakage.. the front on the right side (where I drove and hit a row of paving blocks) broken off, even though it was just a tiny chip.. I lost the small black plastic (NN2 parts) that goes on the end of the arm shaft to the separate suspension mount.., had to replaced it with an unused cutout antenna stand :roll: luckily I had the Separate Suspension Mounts ordered before the incident. http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11637587.jpg http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11637589.jpg I've looked at your previous pictures, you installed the 1XJ parts at the back of the car.. or did you put it both at the rear and the front side also? |

Tamiya America Item #54450 | RC 18T Aluminum Pulley - For TA06/XV-01 Now to find it available somewhere. I also found that same gear as a one-way, so in theory you could make the car front wheel drive in reverse and have a free wheel rear end... not sure if that would help anything, but at least its another option. There is also a reinforced belt coming as well. Tamiya America Item #54448 | RC XV-01 Reinforced Drive Belt - 573mm |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
the 18T aluminium pulley is still not widely available when I googled it, it may look like this one (for TA06) http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11642580.jpg but the reinforced belt #54448 already available at hongkong stores like rcmart & etamiya AFAIK |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
Anyway. I remembered I had some old Parts sitting around and just by luck I happen to have the right part sitting around from an TA05V2 sitting around. The best part is it was a perfect fit and the bag had two of them in it. "thumbsup" http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._5035small.jpg Put it on and the new belt and the car works perfectly again. Here is the shredded belt, the damage is isolated to one small spot, so I think something must have gotten into the pulley and caused the damage. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._5032small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._5033small.jpg And here is the front pulley. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._5034small.jpg The rear belt pulley had so signs of wear so I left that on. I cleaned the car a little more and added more rubber to protect the front pulley from further damage, its pretty sealed up now so hopefully that keeps rocks out. |

Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Turtle, I've been reading the TA-06 Pro topic at RcTech, and I've noticed the competitors there generaly setup their diffs with a different combination of viscosities than the XV-01 manual pre-setup, with #900 Hard damper oil, which is the same oil used in the dampers. A cost reduction measure for sure. The TA-06 guys found the best setup to be between 10k to 100k in the front and 1k in the rear. I've noticed you use 5k in the front and 3k in the rear. Have you tried different viscosities in front? Cheers |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
Thanks for the info. -Ty |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
As soon as I start testing mine, I'll share my setup findings too. Its always good to have a place to talk about this technical things. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Turtle, what gearing are you running? I believe you have the slipper so 48p what spur/pinion runs well with that 5700? |
