The steering linkages limit front suspension travel. You want to taper the holes on both end to stop them limiting front suspension travel. When the suspension hits those limits it can make the car do unpredictable things.


Pick up some 1,000,000 weight diff oil. Put that in the front, use the kit grease in the rear diff. Or if you're willing to throw a few more dollars at it, use 200k out back. When you aren't diffing out, life is much better. Also, if you wanna slide around like your favorite rally star put the million weight out back, and the 200k out front. :-) (it's 5 minutes to make the swap..)


Pick up a "decent" steering servo. I like the Turnigy D99 when i'm feeling cheap.


I run the TT01e in Euro truck... so I've got some time on mine. :-)


Buy bearings! https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-TT-01-Chassis-Sealed-Bearing/dp/B00KKPG086/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543398520&sr=8-2&keywords=tt01+bearings

I personally use these, but most people recommend avid RC revolution bearings for thier value.

From amazon, pretty sure local hobby shops might have them. I went with rubber seals insteal of metal. 5x13x4mm Precision Ball Bearings ABEC 3 Rubber Seals (10) 695-2RS-BU https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZVF8J3O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_723FDb3P3PMPW

It looks like it comes with plastic bearings in the manual that's online. I assume you just mean that it's an upgrade that should be done from the start? If so, should these bearings do me good?

u/PCLOAD_LETTER · 3 pointsr/rccars

Here is everything that I can see that is missing. I've listed everything except transmitter/receiver, charger, battery and body.

If you have all that plus what is pictured you're looking at $100+ in parts and that is still operating under the assumption that everything pictured is working. If you wanted to try to do this on a budget, I'd look at broken "for parts only" trucks on ebay or local craigslist. (You can get a new "roller" there for $179 btw)

TRA7022 chassis

TRA7026 Battery covers /vents

TRA7024X receiver box

TRA7043 shock mount posts / steering pivot / steering horn

TRA2080 steering servo

TRA7090 motor mount plate (I cant tell if its in the picture)

TRA7077 motor mount hinge and gear cover

TRA7015 body mounts

TRA7023 tie bars

TRA7158 rocker arms

TRA7037 skid plates

TRA7135 bumpers

Optional parts/upgrades:

TRA7121 Wing mount +
TRA7122/TRA7123/[TRA7122G] (https://www.rcplanet.com/Traxxas_Wing_with_Decal_Sheet_Exo_Carbon_Finish_1_16_E_Revo_VXL_p/tra7122g.htm) Wing

TRA7184 wheelie bar assembly

Full bearing kit (if you're rebuilding anyways might as well replace missing/shot bearings)

Stainless steel screw set optional but it makes the truck easier to work on later especially if you drive in wet conditions.

chassis brace aftermarket chassis braces (can help prevent future chassis breaks)

Here's an amazon link: (hope it's allowed)
https://www.amazon.com/10x19x5mm-Precision-Bearings-Rubber-6800-2RS/dp/B01BO7USG8/

@OP, you're looking for 10x19x5mm bearings. If you want ceramic, check out eBay but you're not going to notice the difference.

I know this is old post but when i frist build my D-Bot is couldn't get the gantry to move worth a damn. It all stemmed from the awful Chinese bearings in the wheels. The worst part was that it was nearly impossible to get the bearings out of the wheels without nicking the delrin.. I endded up getting all new wheels from open builds and some good quailty bearings. Everything moves like butter since. I truly believe its worth the extra $$

For affordable break barrel for humane squirrel kills I got this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004V959NO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SOFBybKH01K1C

The stock trigger pull is crap but it can be fixed with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NKS95HS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UPFBybGPAWKWZ
There are youtube tutorials for this if you decide to try it.

EDIT:
This is the weird big bearings on the back of the V1's.
