Mini dampers or super mini dampers???
 

What are a better fit for a TT02. I'm replacing the friction dampers on my 2nd regular TT02. My TT02R came with super mini dampers....but when I look up for Tamiya oil dampers they list both the mini and super mini dampers. Which is it?? My gut tells me the super mini dampers are the ones I should get. Thanks

GT Pro Spec I presume?🤔

indeed

I borrowed my friends for TCS in Las Vegas. I finished 4rd, battling for 3rd entire race. I couldn't tune out the front from hopping in turns.. ran 1 million in front diff.. i think I needed 1 trillion 😭

fresh tt-02 build.....10BL120, 9.5t Surpass V3, 5200mah 2s (120c), savox SC-0254mg servo, yeah racing 50mm shocks, hi-speed gears with 26t pinion, all fast eddy bearings,

im having handling issues.

On throttle, the car will not turn right well...until i let off the throttle then it will turn well.
Turning left, it just spins out.
With the gyro on...it just wiggles the rear end under throttle

are there any suggestions as to what to try or parts to buy?


this is just a play toy for me and the kids....just running the cul-de-sac 500 each afternoon haha

First thing I would try would be softer springs on rear shocks and/or firmer springs on the front shocks. That should help with the looping out. Definitely sounds like you've got a good case of torque steer. Possible the 9.5 is too much motor.

I can't remember which springs i put where....but i'll be using the yeah racing springs.

got one thanks

Anyone received the Ford GT MK2 yet? Due out in May/June it says.

is it better to have tt-02 or xv-01 for rally races?

XV-01 100%

Thanks for info, could you provide reason for this?

I thought about this for a while, I couldn't think of a valid solid reason one way or the other....

The pro for the XV-01, from a STOCK perspective, is that the kit already includes oil filled damper/shocks and full ball bearings. Both are essential for racing.
The stock TT-02 does not include these unless you buy an upgraded version of the kit such as a TT-02r or other variation.

One could argue that the shaft drivetrain of the TT-02 is better balanced with the motor located mid chassis, as opposed to the front motored XV-01.
However, the material in the XV-01 is better quality in general and a level up from the beginner platform that TT-02 is really intended.....
From my perspective, its a coin toss....

I have a TT02RR, TT02 Type S, TA05 and XV01 Pro for street runs, bashing, at some point I have also raced all 4 on black carpet. Of the 4, the TT02RR has the inferior suspension geometry and is the most limited. The Type S performs very close to the TA05 and is very neutral in handling. For rallye however, none of them come close to an XV01. The reason is mid motor vs front motor behaviour.
I live in a closed community with amazing fresh and smooth asphalt. I live on a corner entrance to a cul de sac. The main street is long enough for you to hit 100 if your car can do it. My TA05 is set up for speed with a 3.5 and sorex tires. On the main street it will hit 60. My XV-01 has a 17.5 with 30° timing hits 40mph on rallye block tyres.

With the XV01, I’m able to come full throttle and left off slightly, take a 90° turn into my cul de sac, get right back on throttle. The XV will do a smooth controllable drift on to my street. If I attempt the same turn at same speed with TA05 on Sorex slicks or even USGT tyres, it will simply slide down the street.

I have taken both TT02 and XV to snow, again the XV outshines it on snow. The same goes for dirt. I have actually ran my XV on a 1/8 off road track and it took the jumps like a champ.. the only one it would not clear was the big jump and if I had programmed the 17.5 for boost, it would have cleared it.

Help with TT02D kit
 

Hello everyone,

First time RC builder and I’m about to get my first TT02D kit (R32).
Very keen to build it!! Questions I have for you pros are:
Ive read about different types of batteries and decided on Lipo 2s. However, they come in many
different plug variants and even diff sizes.how to pick the right one and I guess something that will work
with the stock motor and stock esc, should I just wait and just take the assembled car to the hobby shop lol?

Lastly, I’ve purchased Savox sc0252 servo (read that they are decent and good value). Do you think it will be ok
for the car or should I get something else? If this is discussed somewhere on this forum, please send link!

Thank you all! :)
