Shorter wheelbase = lower high speed stability on straights, better steering / turning on tight tracks.
Since you’re running stock motor, you won’t have an issue with the shorter wheelbase being unstable on straights. |

As I am quarantined, I’m building some kits. I race with some friends in a TT League we created. It’s asphalt and concrete parking lot based, so grip is usually low to medium. I have one of the TT-02 Zakspeed Ford Capris and the body calls for the shorter 251mm configuration. I’ve always build the 257mm, but I really like that body style and nobody else is using it in our league. My question is, will this shorter configuration handle about the same or will it really affect performance. I have the 3 degree rear aluminum uprights like I usually install in my TT-02’s. Only using torque tuned motors, so the cars aren’t tremendously fast either. Thx for your help.

I use the same short wheelbase for the 911 RSR 1973. Honestly, I can't tell the difference driving long vs short wheelbase back to back. I'm no pro but been to many TCS events, even made the podium a few times in Rally class back in the day. So from that experience, and running my TT 02. 911, go for it, it can't really hurt you at all. Might help you in the twisties, otherwise no real change.

Curious, on 2 things:
1) is this part TCS legal for the TT02/GT Pro class: https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/optio...ft-assembly-2/ 2) Will this work w/ the TT02 "rr" and/or oil filled diff outdrives? Tamiya says you need a specific outdrive to use their universal joints, I am assuming this is because the standard outdrives are too short. The oil diff' outdrives are a bit different than the gear diff outdrives ...so just wanted to have some clarity on this. thanks. |
I don’t know the TCS rules, but this dcj will fit the oil filled gear diff.

Sweet! thank you WTCC!
-I believe it should be TCS legal, yet would love to hear if anyone is positive that it is ;) thanks |

I took my TT02 out today and ran through a couple packs for fun. The rear diff is filled with badhorsie diff locking grease now and the rear end feels more stable than before (it's rear wheel drive only). It's significantly stickier than Tamiya anti-wear grease. The cheapie 19 turn brushed motor in it feels faster now for some reason. Maybe I had throttle EPA turned down before and didn't realize it.
