Need rear downforce

Looking to get a new body with lots of downforce in the rear. I can only use a Tamiya TT-02 body, and can't add rear wings. Anyone know which one would have the most, or what I should be looking for?

Check out the Raikiri Body from Tamiya. Comes in box stock form so you should be good to use it.

I'll probably get that one.

The kit tires tamiya 51049 medium compound are good for what surface carpet or asphalt. Rather use them up on practice days than have them sitting in a box

They're ok for ashphalt.

No good for low-grip carpet.

So I'm still using brushed set up on mine. What would be an appropriate brushless motor for average non racing use.

Have you upgraded the plastic dog bones and center shaft to metal/aluminum already? If so, you can use 23t, 21t or 17.5t.

Yea but it's on back order. Does the kv matter or just the tooth size

I am a die hard TC racer but have had a few Hahn trucks in the past. Being super impressed how quick / good a box stock TT01 does with a truck body got me intrigued to build my first TT02 GT style kit. This is a box stock build with bearings / USGT tires. Once I mentioned it to my local race buddies they decided to grab some TT02 kit's as well and create a new class for our track. Rules being bearings, stock pinion size and hex screws permitted. Must use Tamiya Bodies only. This should help bridge the gap between a fresh new comer and a $1200 TC set up. The cars can always be upgraded with some key parts and put into another class like VTA or Usgt even.

I opted for the new S550 GT4 stang kit and got it done :D Packed the diffs with Aw grease and the first few packs the car was on the money right off the bat. For reference the fastest VTA cars were 9.7 fast laps to 10.5 mid pack. I could click off 10.0-10.2's almost every lap with this TT02 and it looks great doing it. It's not insane fast but the Silver can always does good by me! Nice water break in with some oil on the bushings and away it rips. I still have to finish the head light buckets but I will have a Raikiri body to try shortly. Not great pics as of yet but here's a couple to get the idea :nod:

It was a really good idea to do a yellow Mustang Body. Looks awesome!

Thanks man, Yellow is my one color wonder on my Tc's haha. I added more stickers to the stanger since the pic for some more scale effect but it turned out pretty good with the Tamiya sticker sheet.

Which is your preferred yellow?

Tamiya PS6 backed with some silver :D

that is very similar to Tamiya’s TCS Pro Spec class.
All you need is Yeah Racing’s adjustable motor mount and you can get the gearing you need for USGT and USVTA. I have saying for awhile that the TT02 would be a great entry spec class that allows for a chassis to be used in other classes as the driver improves

That's cool they have a class like that, I didn't even realize. We haven't has a TCS series in Canada for a very long time but I wish I was apart of it when we did. Seems like some awesome grass root hobby oriented classes. The TT vehicles are actually pretty capable, this isn't directed at the die hard racers but these kit's are great for new comers and kids to build them selves. With little to no adjustability at first it keeps things simple and makes them focus on the drive instead of all the tuning. Tuning is great and it's one of my favourite things don't get me wrong but but some folks need less wrench time and more play for time for the enjoyment :)
