Tamiya TT01 steering problem fixed

A checklist to help you diagnose your steering problem on your RC car. I have been having issues with the Tamiya TT01. This issue can also exist on other cars and many of the checks cost nothing to do and some cost lots of money...

some things for you to consider when having issues with steering.

All my batteries used to have balance plugs with NO Backshell; Now most all have the larger molded Backshell and I find it gets in the way a LOT!
I can certainly see the molded Backshell is more durable, but honestly I don't recall it being an issue before.

My DX3C went exactly the same way, intermittent loss of signal. I changed the antenna and it was the same. Never dropped, just failed.

Hiya, semi related question :
The TT01E has the steering system from the TA05. Do you know if that can be fitted to a TT01 as an upgrade ?

Nobody does it but u can just remove the cover of the balance bale and get it less bulky! Also i put a lipo checker with an alarm of the battery holder so once the battery is in position i stick the balance there and set the voltage i want the battery to reach before the alarm start signaling me. Again this schrews on the deck can be too tight and ruin the steering experience...

Bro as you know I was excited to get my TT02, got it today turned it on and it went flying into the wall and now the steeling won’t turn, and it jerks forward without me even touching the controller, I don’t know whether I need to adjust the controller or if I got sold a lemon :(
I need your help please respond, my whole day has just gone down the drain

Great video. My 13t brushed is stuttering until it reaches full throttle and heats up to 80°c and the 60amp ESC to 90°c on a 2s 45c 4200mah. I've checked for load tension along the drive train. Thanks in advance for any help here

What led you to finding an issue with the transmitter then and what was it? Dodgy pot?

Why would you double down and give even more money to the corporation who just ripped you off? Savox fan boys make no sense to me. I stopped giving them money the first time they sold me a piece of junk. You just gave them even more.
