I've owned a fair few TT01's. Next to the TT02 I have they're close but over-all for the price the TT02 is a better refined car. You'd put more money into a TT01 to get it up to a TT02 standard anyway.

You have to adjust the End points new, but the TT01 saver is from far better quality. Maybe Tamiya has to fix the tolerances on the new one.

Thanks for the reply. So I should just buy the TT01 servo parts? I think it's Tamiya part #51005?

I tried super gluing the 3 servo saver parts together and that helped a little but it still doesn't want to center properly.

Yes, this are the right parts. If I rember correctly, the parts set was already included in the kit, because TT02 uses the same suspension balls as the TT01.
Take a look in your kit before ordering.
You also need to use the included rod to connect to the steering, as the TT02 is too big for the TT01 Servo saver. With 2 plastic spacers you have to adjust to a proper angle. Here´s a pic from mine. Notice that I mounted my servo with 2mm shims more in front of the car. If you don´t do this, you need a bigger spacer on one of the connections, to get a good working connection without too much friction. It´s still no ball pin.

You can use the tamiya 51000 too.
Its strong, and can be upgraded with alu arm.
I use it on my cars, and they are great.
The stock one is too weak probably built bash proof.
There is a picure in the previous page with it.Also u can use adjustable speering rod for even throw.

Nah if you want proper bash proof might as well go to steel or Ti. Tamiya (#53527) 3x32mm Titanium Turnbuckles Shafts and Tamiya (#53601) Low Friction 5mm Adjuster would do perfectly.

bosco72, we can't because the TT02 uses a pivot ball set up in the front. We could use an Eagle racing set though. ( Part number: TT02-14-PL ) It's a full set with CVD's, drive cups and turn buckles. I have a fair few Eagle racing parts and they're actually pretty strong and decent.

I've got both the tt-02 and tt-02b, and when it comes to the suspension they are very different, you won't be able to use the c hubs because they attach in a different way to the tt02, which means you won't be able to use the steering knuckles either.

Also for the money you might as well just get the adjustable turnbuckles made for the tt02 from rcmart because buying the parts needed would be a waste of money cause they don't fit, and would most likely cost the same or more than the adjustable rods on rcmart.

I think I'm just going to order the Yeah Racing aluminum conversion for steering and their tie rod set.

Yeah steering will not be allowed for tcs but you can probably get away with the tie rod set. I don't think there is too much to gain from the aluminum steering anyways. The most useful upgrade is probably a better servo saver or horn. Try Tamiya hi torque servo saver first.

Wow, stock servo saver is bad on this one. Otherwise runs great totally stock.
Another minor issue, that may be an error in the manual, is in the rear shock. Including that preload ring makes the rear too stiff. My car seemed better by not including that ring on the rear shocks.

I wonder when this stuff will be available. I'd love to get my hands on the steering upgrades.
