if it beeps constantly it means it doesn't see the transmitter. (transmitter off, dead batteries, or needs to bind again).
if it only beeps when you press the throttle then maybe bad ESC.

Just strange since the car wasn't run hard and it's the stock esc/brushed motor. Anybody have this problem or know the issue? I sent a message via Tamiya USA website, but they never replied. Thanks

Sometimes you have to reset the Tamiya esc. I think I would try reseting. it using the instruction manual.

Thanks for the feedback. It beeps constantly. The receiver isn't getting any power from the esc so no way to bind. Battery is charged and working fine. I'm pretty sure the esc is bad (or perhaps plug that runs from esc to receiver). I tried the receiver in another car/esc and it works fine.

I took it apart to do a maintenance cleaning and found a cracked diff case upper and lower. a broken screw hole in case that holds the prop shaft ordered a new deck and bags A.I just finished rebuild. . Love this TT

Anybody using aftermarket servo saver? It seems like the tamiya aluminum steering upgrade for tt02 is bad. Same thing with my friends tt02rr. The upgraded one he got was also bad. Doesn't re-center very well. If you are using aftermarket servo saver can you please share the picture of your car?

Had the same problem.

Went back to the stock one, and it's ok.

Has anyone used a one-way in the front diff for drifting? Is it worth it or should I just lock it like the rear?

I use x-ray servo saver on the TT-02 I race. It's one of the best if not the best ones you can get. Never had any problems. Now I spend much less on broken parts.

FWIW.......using the rubber grommets to mount your steering servo likely induces some slop.

It's tight in there. Needed to move servo forward to better lineup steering linkage. Also help absorb some impact so the plastic parts don't brake.

Default So many issues with this chassis

Man this was my first chassis and I've just had so many issues with it, even after grabbing the aftermarket hopups... Anyone else feel like this? Just gonna list a couple

--> It's REALLY easy to strip the screw threads in the plastic bathtub, thank god it;s only $6 to replace the whole bathtub
--> The stock steering system is so bad, it felt terrible to drive until I replaced my entire steering system with the aluminium hopups + changed all the fixed length steering rods to turnbuckles
--> I have no idea why but I purchased the tamiya cvds to use in place of the stock dogbones which kept falling out during races(?) somehow and the cvd pins keep coming loose even though I've tightened the grub as much as I can
--> The original wheel hexes are so loose and the wheels vibrate way too much, they're much better now that I replaced them with the alu hexes
--> Tamiya's system for mounting the aluminium steering arms is so ridiculous, the mounting grub that holds the post in place can be replaced with just a slightly longer screw that just goes in from the bottom of the chassis, it's much more stable than the mini grub system that tamiya suggests using.
--> Even after purchasing all the steering upgrades it still locks up a little too much for my liking after going through any kind of corner thats <90 degrees
--> The smallest bumps seem to make something go wrong and break something in the chassis it feels extremely fragile
