Maybe one of these beauties for the Mustang?

Any idea what material it’s made of and if it’s 26mm? I don’t see any information online

I have no idea about the material they are made of, but from my point of view their durability is more than okay.
Width is 26mm and have a really nice shiny finish (if that matters)

Edit:
What do you think of them for the Subaru:
HPI TE37

Hey guys , I am thinking of getting into the hobby and starting with a TT02 as my first car, one of these maybe --> Tamiya 1/10 Raikiri GT On-Road 4WD Kit ?
Do you have some suggestions of upgrade parts I should consider when starting off? I read maybe bearings and a motor mount? I don't really know I'm pretty new. I have a battery charger from my RC plane days.
I will need battery, TX, and servo for sure.
Also paint for the body.....

Ballbearings is a good first choice. If you are new then I would wait before buying other tuning parts. You could easily spent a lot money on tuning parts for this chassis. Just wait and see what is not like you would want it. The Raikiri is a decent choice.
You run on a parking lot or track? The latter, then ask what the other guys run and have fun with and join them
For battery just a normal 2S lipo with around 6000mah. Servo should be medium fast 0,09s/45 degree, around 60$. Transmitter is a little religion. You can go for a cheaper system for the first months. Then if you love it and want to get more serious, go for a Sanwa system (MT-4 or equal). This is of course my personal experience. After the switch to this brand, I never had any problem and could do a better job more easy on track.
Colorwise should the normal Tamiya PS be the best for the first race livery.

I agree with the comments above. Many people buy a TT02 and then a bunch of hopups at the start but the cost gets out of control so quickly. Just bearings and run it to start, oil shocks are worth looking at too. The friction dampers aren't the best but will work ok, but the plastic bushings will sap power and runtime and can cause damage.
If you decide on an alloy motor mount look at the Yeah Racing version as it has a slot allowing you to set the gearmesh, rather than the fixed positions of the Tamiya version. I would only buy this if you also get the high speed gearset, otherwise the plastic one is fine if you are running the kit motor.

Do you guys think a turnigy 2s 5800 lipo is ok?

or this battery ? Turnigy nano-tech 5800mah 2S2P 30~60C Hardcase Lipo Pack (ROAR APPROVED)

This one is proven and fast:

The battery is unexpensive and fine.

There isn't too much stress on a stock TT-02 and you can use a basic servo like a Futaba S3003. If you want something a little better, try the Futaba S3004 as it uses a ball bearing race in the top of the servo. If you must have something better, my go-to servo has always been the low profile Savox SC-1251MG in the standard gold colour. I see no need to pay extra for the exact same servo in black. I have also had success with the Power HD 1206TG slow profile servos.

Before upgrading the servo in a Tamiya TT-02, I would first upgrade from the stock servo saver to the Tamiya item# 54799 TT-02 Hi-Torque Servo Saver, which is about $17 USD. Below is a link on Tamiya USA's website for this specific part. They have an online shopping portal and they will ship directly to your location (free shipping on orders of $50 or more the last time I used them).
https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/optio...e-servo-saver/
The stock plastic servo saver that comes with the basic TT-02 kits will work okay with inexpensive servos such as a Futaba 3001 or similar. However the plastic "spring" in the servo saver will eventually wear/become weak which can make the steering sloppy and less responsive. If using a high speed and/or high torque servo, a servo saver upgrade really is necessary. You don't have to use a Tamiya servo saver, as there are other companies that make good servo savers or aluminum servo horns. However from my experience running Tamiya vehicles, I've never had any issues after upgrading to the Hi-Torque servo saver (at least with that part of the car).
I hope this info helps.

For shocks you can just get the Tamiya CVA shocks, they're plastic but actually work pretty well. If you want alloy then look at the TRF Special Dampers which are great or Yeah Racing make some that are pretty good, especially for the price (about half the price of the TRF ones). I haven't used them but have heard good things about their "Shock Gear" range, which are their mid-range.
If you haven't bought the kit yet then look at the versions. There is a TT02D kit (not the chassis kit, a kit with body etc included) which comes with full bearings, CVA (plastic oil) shocks and a sport tuned motor. It has plastic drift wheels, but it may be cheaper to buy some new wheels for that kit than buying bearings and shocks for a base kit.
I don't know about the prop shaft, I haven't upgraded mine, the kit ones seem fine.
As far as servos go, I've gone for cheap JX 4409MG servos in my fun cars. They have similar specs to the Savox 1251 but are about quarter the price. So far I haven't had one fail. I don't think they are as precise but the TT02 isn't precise anyway so I doubt it'd make much difference. Servo saver 51000 could be an option if the kit one wears out too, its about $5 and they work well.
My view on this though is that it isn't worth spending a lot on these cars, buy the kit, do the basics and enjoy it for what it is. If you want better performance start with a better kit - TA07 or TB05 for Tamiya, or the Express XQ1S or similar from other brands.

Great advice and thread.
Glad to see there's a really active community around this chassis.
I'm building the second TT-02 Subaru rally in quarantine. Probably the 30th rc car I've built but these kits are new to me.
I bought the yeah racing steering and motor mount.
I'm running 17t brushless in each car. Do you think I'll be ok with the standard spur gear? I don't want to chew right through it.
Any suggestion on pinion size? The kit comes with 22t bit was wondering what people suggest with a 17t motor and the stock spur.
Thanks.
