it says that they will fit a tl-01. i was going to try a set of stock tl-01 soon as i dig them out. i was wondering the same thing.

well hopefully this helps. i just tryed my stock tl-01 pieces and they will not really work. the tl-01 C carrier is about an 1/8" bigger and the axle sits out to far in the upright piece and will not catch the ball on the end of the main axle shaft quite right. i also tried a tl-01la which is different from a tl-01 and it appears to be almost the same as the stock tlt. a tad bit of filling it would fit. but i have not seen aluminum ones yet. so in short, i would say they DO NOT fit. they would also cut the steering radius a shade.


P.S. sorry for the long winded reply

im sure it could be modified to work though. new driveshafts would be needed.

gpm direct parts would be easier though.

Hi,I was thinking of using them,except for the price! 4u2c's link shows two pairs in blue for about the same as Tower wants.Since I have a M03 and a TLT-1,I'll know soon enough if they work.
