TT01 vs. TT01 E By Andrew Kuntze

Intro:
The TT01 has long been known as a great kit for beginner and expert drivers alike. The kit features a rugged 4wd platform to help novice drivers learn the basics of radio control at a low cost, while allowing more advanced users to choose from a wide variety of hop up options to use on the track. In 2008, the Tamiya engineers took this great platform and added new parts to create the “Enhanced” version of the TT-01, dubbed the TT-01 Type E, or TT-01E. This next generation TT-01E features many improvements over its predecessor, while retaining the key features that make the TT-01 platform so popular.

No more lost clips
When you remove the body from your vehicle, you end up putting the body clips on the ground or in the body. Most of the time you loose one or all of them when you go to put the body back on. Then you don’t have enough body clips to keep your body in place and you don’t want to run without a body because you run the risk of flipping your vehicle over and breaking parts in the car. When you remove the body clips, place them on the wing of your vehicle or body if you don’t have a wing. They will stay put until you place the body back on your vehicle.
