The photos say it all: TT01E: Standard TT01:  

If your Lipo pack is 25C ~ 30C, powering a stock 540 (or anything up to 23T) shouldn’t be a problem. For brushless, a 17.5T without aggressive gearing would still be ok.

If you use standard size steering servo on the TD4, the body shell must have an opening to allow for smooth steering horn movement.

The photos show a tiny RC track designed by the government officials in Hong Kong. This track is located under the bridge in the Wan Chai District. It is so small that even a regular 1:10 with a stock silver can be too fast for it. The average track width is less than 4 feet… […]

The BD7 line evolved into the Yokomo BD8, BD9, and currently the BD11 and BD12 platforms.
