Hop Up Parts 1

Well, I (Jecht) finally got down to buying a couple of vital hop-up options for my TT-01 that actually did enhance the car's performance overall, not to mention aesthetics. First up was the Steering Link as seen below that goes above my blue aluminium propellor shaft. Made from brushed aluminium, the steering link is the center-piece that ensures your front wheels are aligned while u are going straight or turning, needless to say the stronger this link is, the more accurate your car steering will be.
Next comes the carbon upper deck, another essential bit of hop up that any good RC drifter should have. This piece isn't just for show, what is does is act like a car's actual strut bar, linking the top front and back ends together and preventing the body from flexing while drifting, the result is an extremely rigid chassis and very little bodyroll while going sideways = precision.
Of course I couldn't resist the temptation any longer either and got my self the Tamiya accessories set which included this awesome looking brake rotors that function as wheel hubs as well. Inside the pack is also a huge-assed bazooka muffler, wipers, side mirrors and also a LED holder for the muffler tip. Doesn't do anything to performance, but who cares hahaha!
