This list might be redundant when compared to tamiyausa's chart, but tamiya's site does not show what upgrades should be put on first though. Very useful for the newbies!

I would also suggest replacing the stock K/KK parts with the Carbon reinforced set #54446. i have broken the K2 part at the tie rod connection two times before upgrading. i haven't broken the carbon reinforced one yet. waiting for this part to be made out of aluminum ... please Last edited by BasicMods; 03-21-2014 at 11:07 AM. |

I broke one of these Paul and have not had issues for months now. I am still running a stock plastic one.

Overdrive the front diff: 19T Pulley #SAK-07A from 3Racing works fine (original pulley are 18T), mounted in the rear creates overdrive on front wheels. Cant take credit for the idea, just the find, post #25: Tamiya XV-01 - Page 2 - R/C Tech Forums |

Yeah don't do that unless you only plan on drifting. The XV01 shares several parts with other Tamiya vehicles (TA06 (I think) and FF03, etc.) But many of those parts are suited more for drift and road use. I think this same topic has been discussed in here before... Things get lost in here pretty easily.

I may be wrong, but overdriving the front diff, from what I know, would not help in drifiting. In my opinion, it may even help decrease excess steering from the front motor set up.

I don't know why you want overdrive the front diff. I'm into drifting also and for counter-steer drifting, you overdrive the rear, so you get more wheel spin in the rear. |

You would overdrive the rear for a drift car. You overdrive the front on a rally car. Like the center diff does automatically on a 1:1 EVO. Now, the 1:1 STi does the opposite, in automatic mode, it sends more power to the rear. I know this isn't apple to apples. I was just putting it out there as a tuning option. You can also use a 15t pulley from a hpi on the front for the same overdrive effect. or do the opposite and turn it into a drifter. |

Hi, does anyone have a nice and tidy solution for the "missing" front belt pulley cover? Or is there an answer to the question "why did they leave ist open?"... when I put my xv-01 pro together, I thought i lost the part, but there is none... thx, Michi Last edited by Michi; 04-23-2015 at 10:00 AM. |

If you have a motor which has a partially open can, especially on the side of the pinion gear, like this one: Team Orion Vortex VST2 Pro 540 LW Motor | wemu.ch I would highly recommend installing a motor plate like this: https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...uct-id=4305125 or this: https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...oduct-id=84293 or your spur gear and pinion gear will be most likely broken in a short time. Talking about gears, I changed to M0.4: https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...oduct-id=54227 https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...oduct-id=42263 The linked examples have the same ratio as 68T/22T M0.6 as it comes out of the box. The smalles pinion gear that will fit should be 30T. The car runs more silent with M0.4. Last edited by Michi; 06-20-2015 at 09:13 AM. |

| Re: Tamiya XV-01 Upgrades Dunno if this was ever answered elsewhere, but the reason is: For a completely enclosed belt-drive to work properly, it has to have rubber seals that keep dust out even when the chassis flexes. Otherwise a few bits of grit will find their way in, and every time the car hits a bump, they'll get bounced up into the moving drive belt and sucked through the pulleys. Since the XV-01 doesn't have such a complex enclosure for the belt drive, the lower-front portion of the enclosure is left open so the belt (which is rotating "backwards" compared to the wheels) can sweep debris out of the enclosure.
