The torque tuned motor is fairly quick for a silver can motor. You will likely be happy with it for parking lot bashing, unless you are a real speed demon.
The high speed gear set that was mentioned earlier is a good upgrade. You can run 64p gears and get many more gear options that way.

Thank you!
Yes, I was planning on the TT02 "s",
you say the drift kit, -I have no desire to drift, ...so the tires would not be used, but I have a ton of spare tires from other cars. So w/ the drift kit, is there any difference w/ the setup that I should be aware of? Or is basically the same as the "s" kit (minus the extra aluminum goodies you mentioned)?
Yes, I too have been racing,, since about 2008. I have expensive cars, this one would just be to have fun building and some parking lot driving.

The TT-02D Type-S that I recently built did not include the aluminum motor mount. I just installed one last night though along with aluminum shocks, CVDs and a new Futaba servo so my crawler can have 4 wheel steering again.

I got mine in February of this year and it says right on the box that the aluminum motor mount is included. So unless they changed that recently, it should come with one and if it no longer does, then they should have updated the box to reflect that.

The TT02D Type S that I built last year didn't come with an aluminum motor mount either. As far as I know only the TT02R comes with the aluminum motor mount

I've built one for my friend it only include the heat sink but not the motor mount

hmmm, I'll let you know if mine comes w/ or w/o motor mount. Either way not a big deal. I plan on getting all the usual upgrades / those you all mentioned.
As for gearing, yeah I have lots of 64p gears from my on-road race cars ...so will probably use some of those to fine tune everything to my liking. My goal here is parking lot racing, -so going to try TRY to stick w/ just the necessary upgrades.
Yeah, I had an HPI cup racer years ago w/ the Porsche body. The body sure looked good, but didn't handle as well as other bodies (your totally right). I believe my kit arrives Saturday ...but I have races all day Sunday, so probably won't be able to open my kit and get into it until next week.

Those old school Porsches look really cool IMO, but the HPI body will handle better.

New body for my TT-02 when not drifting. I don't mind bashing this one up a bit. Sometimes you just want to go fast.

Just had my first non-drift run with mine. It does pretty darn well with the new body and soft street tires on 2S and the LEDs are glorious when the sun is setting. It's begging for more speed though. Unfortunately, like all touring cars, it can't clear the transition from old pavement to new in the middle of the curve in front of my house so I have to stay on the straight section. That's just not as fun as taking the turn at high speed with my XV-01. I'm going to need a smooth, clean lot and a freshly charged 3S pack.

That Ferrari body w/ lights ...WOW! looks awesome. Nice job.
I got my TT02, its sitting on my work bench still in un-opened box. Spent all weekend racing ...so didn't have time to open it but can't wait!

I've had great fun with mine so far. Made a few 3S passes this weekend but I'm going to need a bit more room in every direction as it tends to torque steer just a hair with 3S power and I'd like more room to correct it without fear of it slamming into a car tire, mailbox or trashcan at 60 mph. The drift tires are going back on it tonight. I might keep the LaFerrari body on it for a while though. Tamiya really did it up right.
