Tamiya Schnitzer BMW M3 Sport Evo - 58323
|
Released by Tamiya on May 26, 2004, this TT-01 Chassis based model, previously released on the TA-01 Chassis (#58113), is of the Team Schnitzer works BMW M3 Sport Evo that raced in the 1992 German Touring Car Championships (DTM).
The Tamiya Lexan polycarbonate body shell realistically recreates the BMW M3 body styling. A Urethane Bumper and window stickers along with Decals of the Warsteiner livery are included in the kit.
The budget priced TT-01 Chassis was introduced by Tamiya in 2003 to replace the highly successful TL-01 that had been used for over thirty RC models since its introduction in 1997.
A silver can 540 motor, coil spring over friction shock absorbers and plastic bush type bearings come as standard in this low budget model.
The Differentials are orbital gear type and should be greased at regular intervals to avoid excessive wear. My recommendation is to use molybdenum grease.
The bathtub chassis has battery cut-outs for ladder type packs, but will accommodate stick (shotgun) packs also. A low centre of gravity and good balance provide much improved handling over the TL-01.
A number of hop-ups are available for the TT-01 to improve performance, but there is one I would recommend before you first assemble the kit. As mentioned before, the kit comes with plastic/nylon and sintered brass bush type bearings, that after a short while, when dust and grit get into them, will abrade the metal drive shafts that spin in them. If you are building this kit to race seriously, these should be replaced by steel shielded ball bearings.

Hints, Tips and Information
Dampers
Dampers, Shock Absorbers, Shocks - call them what you will, they are one of the least understood, but most important tools you have for adjusting the handling characteristics of your RC model.
So how do Dampers work?
Basically what you have is a small amount of silicone oil contained in a sealed cylinder. Through the centre of that cylinder is a metal rod, and on the end of that rod, a piston with a number of small holes in it. Pulling, or pushing the rod in and out of the cylinder, your will notice a certain amount of resistance as the oil is forced through the holes in the piston. |
