I mounted some VTEC 30R tires to see how the car performs with this setup.
Going to test this setup tomorrow on a high grip carpet track, i will keep you guys informed how it went.
Today i've been testing the setup discribed above and the car was absolutely a blast to drive.
The car was on rails even without tire sauce, just cleaned the tires and drive.
Even though i was only using a silvercan motor but the car looked very fast and stable.
The most important thing i noticed was that when you mount the rear hubs and steering blocks like a rally version they become stronger.
Normally when i hit the boarding with the TT-02 (cause of to tide steering) the steering block would have been broken, but even after a few times of to tide steering the car (steering blocks) were still fine.
I can only recommend this to everybody who is running a TT-02 and is able to mount some smaller dampers (like TRF mini dampers).

@Qatmix,

You really should try the setup explained above, you will love it
If you need more explaining just PM me cause i'm unable to send a PM to you.
