Hint, hint...for thercracer.com

I'm looking for a VTA/USGT budget racer from a major company like Tamiya. I'm not interested in a TC4 (owned 2 already), Sakura (had 2 zeroes already), or Spec-R S2 (worried about parts support, honestly).
I haven't seen much of information about building de Type-S version eather, only 2 movies on Youtube when the car is on a track.
I'm still considering to buy one but my TT-02 is doing very well on the track.
Perhaps i should buy one and sell my TT-02, cause all the needed parts for building a regular TT-02 are included in the kit. Except the drive shafts.

I also have the Spec-R S2 and that car is very good aswell, parts can be found easily at TQracing. So parts for that car shouldn't be a problem.

The TT02s is pretty sweet, I'm very busy with real work atm but a review will come soon.. The only thing that bugs me is that there is no droop screw setting, you have to use spacers in the shocks. It's not a big issue and once you get a set-up then its cool its just that I do not like getting my fingers dirty

@Qatmix,

Always working, you should have some priorities about building tamiya cars (Just kidding)

Tamiya should design a new B8 part that gives the opportunity to use droop screws.
Very easy and could be sold as an option part.
I have been thinking of designing the part for myself and get it 3D printed

Yep, I was disappointed that they didnt just do this on the TT02s, I have tried to to a basic mod to the current part but it moved too much so it was not any good.

I need to do the 419 review before the TT02s.. Hopefully I'll get them done soon.

Excited to join the TT02 crowd. Got a deal on ebay - an unbuilt parts set minus wheels, body, and electronics.

It's perfect for 'fixing' my Nikko Ferrari F430, this purchase solves these issues:
-RWD with open diff (nightmare)
-2S hardcase is rubberbanded in place cuz does not fit 7.2v round tray
-standard servo doesn't fit centered (non-standard on original car)'

The only other thing on my mind was- currently the car uses a stock TA02 Ferrari 360 Modena body, are the body post holes compatible with the TT02?

Yes, as far as I know, the Ferrari body's holes would fit, just like any other 190mm Tamiya body out there. The TT02 has reversible rear body posts, which means that even the older bodies would be compatible.

Thanks! Also I do like the RWD feel on my cup racer, which I think is cuz they did gear diff in front and ball diff in back. Anyone do ball diff in rear only for a TT 02/01?

I've mounted 2 ball diffs in my TT-02, the car runs great and has less noise.

You could easily ad a thin carbon fiber plate to the underside of the chassis, and then use the existing droop screw holes in the 418 arms that are on the S.

With whatever oil you used did you find a significant handling difference vs gear diffs?

Good to see this thread come to life again - even though I've moved on from on road/tt02.

I have been using 100.000, just enough to have the correct feeling.
The gear diff's are not consistent enough, you have to refill the gear diff's very often to get the right feeling and they leak a lot.
Or when you use AW grease the feeling at the start isn't the same as when you ran the car once or twice.
That's what makes the ball diff's a better choice, they are more consistent and moore smooth with less noice.

Currently i'm testing the car with a 17.5T motor and still i'm improving my lap times. Tonight and saterday i will be testing some setup changes.

Maybe someone could talk t-bone-racing.net to manufacture something like this for the TT02S? They make bumpers and skid plates for all sorts of R/C's already. Something similar to this would be perfect:

http://t-bone-racing.net/TBR-DS-rear...t-T-p1539.html

Ride height might not be so good afterwards, though.
