Have you seen the TT02 top deck from fibre-lyte.co.uk? It was designed by thercracer, not sure if the SR is different to the standard or S though?

Just picked up 2 of the TT-02 kits as Xmas gifts for my kids. For a whopping $160 for 2 kits, I can’t complain. They’ll be bashers for sure. Aside from bearings, is there any other must haves? These will never see the inside of a track. Just ran in parking lots or streets.

I would get a steel pinion gear for durability. Tamiya kit aluminum pinion is very soft and wears fast. If you plan to go fast with the car, consider getting the aluminum propeller and joint shafts set. Some 5mm and 8mm shims are also good to have to adjust diff gear mesh during the build. You might need to buy foam inserts for the tires separately, if your kit doesn't include them. Oil filled shocks are a nice upgrade if kit comes with basic friction shocks.

Not worried about the friction shocks at this time.

I will be sure to use foam inserts on the tires I buy.

No going fast for a while. Keeping them in the 10-15mph range for a while. That should keep breakage to a minimum and allow them to learn how to drive.

I added a Wiki. Go add setups, upgrades and homegrown hop ups.

The TT02S and TT02SR use the same arms as Tamiya TC chassis. They do not have an upper arm. The SR adds a few extra hop ups to the S.
Are any of the hop-ups added to the -SR version the same as the hop-ups added to the -RR version?

Basically I'm trying to figure out, if I only bought one version, which one would be the best from a mechanical and performance standpoint. The -RR certainly looks like the best of the "original" TT-02 design, but maybe the -SR version is more like a higher-end touring car? I honestly have no idea, I've never built a TT-02 of any kind before.

The SR has more modern suspension geometry and adjustability and is much closer to a higher end touring car. The only potentially lesser bit is, I don't believe the SR has the aluminum center driveline parts, but those are relatively inexpensive.

Nothing special here but bone stock TT02. Just had my kids build their first kit. They did the build, I helped tidy their wiring.
