worst case I just take the dremel to the current plastic part that hangs off the back ...yet was looking for a cleaner solution.

Sure thing,
-I was hesitant at first ...but they seem to be as good quality as name brand wheels i've purchased. I actually went ahead and bought more in other styles. For the rubber I am sticking w/ some brands that I am familiar w/ and are true and tested (hpi and assosciated treaded ones).

Your body looks fantastic!
I may have to pick one of those Tamiya kit bodies up.
Still working on my TT02 build and body ...soooooon. (also prepping for my next race on the weekend). -hence why i haven't had much time on this build as I'd like.

Steve_pss, ...did you paint that body? If so I like how you did the red and black.

After spending many (many) hours putting all the decals on (the hood itself is like 20 decals) I wish I had painted it. The black is actually a dark grey metallic (shows up nice in the sun). Splitter and other parts are straight black. The rest is all a hair dryer, windex and a sh*t ton of decals supplied with the kit.

The windex just helps you have a little lee-way when you position, the hair dryer REALLY helps. It softens the decal and allows it to make pretty good bends.

I ordered the TT-02D type S kit. ...it came w/ a lot of goodies, but not the hardened parts.

So, I am going to order that part, ...going to hunt it down. (I hate the large bumper piece sticking off the back).
It will not fit on the type-S as you have a different arm mount holding the suspension pins.
I thought all the TT02 kits used the same basic chassis parts, -Specifically are the suspension mounts different? I looked online at both the TT02s and TT02D type s manuals, both appear the same?

Your looking some kind of protection for the chassis area?
what about using a pair of black nylons ...just cut both ends and wrap around the chassis.

Well, I was thinking about something rigid like a plastic cover because my esc has a fan and I'm afraid a fabric could damage it or get sucked in.

Since the weather will be hotter (here in Southern Italy temperature is 30-35°C), I'm thinking about installing a motor heatsink. I check motor temperature every 5 mins with an IR thermometer and I read about 40-50°C. Do you think I'll need an heatsink? Is it normal that it is hotter near the pinion?

if you are driving it in the street your ESC fan shouldn't need extra protection

In my tt02 I ran a 9t motor geared around with a 22 pinion. If you're concerned put on a heatsink + fan for it. You can get many from Rcmart. When I took my TT02 for rally on an off road track from memory it stayed around 60c with air temp in the low 20s within a 10 minute run.

I've never had issues with the ESC fan get caught with debris etc. Only had a fan die on me probably from shock when I ran indoor 4wd mod buggy... (the buggy hit the wall many times)

okay, so this isn't complete, ...yet wanted to get a few photos up of my work in progress TT02.

I plan to put side mirrors on, an exhaust and a driver figure.

stay tuned.

The TT02D Type S and TT02 Type S have identical suspensions, look at the regular TT02 and TT02D manuals and you'll see they're much simpler than the Type S variants.

Ah, I will have to check out the manual for the stock TT02 and TT02D to understand the difference, -thanks for pointing that out.
