We sometimes run a TT02 rally class and it would be perfect to use the cover.
I was wondering the same thing, I am waiting for the TT-02FT manual to appear online to see how it is mounted.

Part number is 1820030, source:

I always just practiced with mine as I didn't feel right racing it as I wanted others to enjoy! Since then it went from Box stock with bearings to our guys wanting the hop ups but still using the TBL02 Esc / Silver or black cans.
It's unfortunate you guys allowed all the Hop ups. Not really a spec class anymore. New people now no longer only spend $150. In Kingston we were hoping to race these things with you guys but our club allows bearings and CV axles only. This has kept the cost down and everyone has the same car.

I feel you, I was 100% good with stock kits but we have a lot of old TCS Racers and their inner TRF came out LOL. I couldn't contain them heheh.. To be fair you don't need hop ups.. My car still ran nails with nothing. I remember Racing in kingston for a few trophy races, practiced with my stock TT02 / stk gearing & was running the top VTA times there. (before you guys had TTGT) If Kingston guys came to Phoenix a gear swap would be the only thing really needed. Come visit anyway! Can't wait to come race Super Stock again in Kingston with the crew when everything is open to the public again

I definitely will try to get a few guys there when things open up. We had our first Spec GT race Tuesday eve. Very close racing! Almost forgot how much fun it was.

I was a little mean to my hop-upped TT02 in the last 15 months. I used its parts for other projects. Then a club in the region announced a friendship race using the Tamiya Euro Cup rules and classes. So I had to complete the chassis again and also found a nicer solution for the rear body posts.





Now with added shocks and electronics:

Hi all,

we've been running a TT class at our track for a few years now, and ive always raced my Porsche 911 RSR.
It has always been very loose on neutral, as in will spin out if i let off the throttle, which i thought was a TT02 trait. However I swapped with a fellow racer at the end of the day- Nissan GTR 58625 and it was planted.

Does anyone know why the difference? Cars are both stock except for bearings and his has oil shocks, New kit tyres on both and my drivetrain is very free.

Is it the shocks, 911 wide tyres or wheelbase? or maybe something else?

Thanks!

Oil shocks could make a difference and what is the other guy running for diff fluid or grease?

It’s a weight transfer issue. You need to reduce droop in front, so that when your off throttle, not too much weight is transferred to front causing rear to loose traction. You do this by adding spacers inside front shocks.

For a box stock set up (friction shocks and all) I would say to switch because of the wheel base first making the biggest change. Any Tamiya body with a rear wing is also going to help a ton. The Raikiri is the best imo. The BRZ GT300, Ferrari 458, GTR, STI are all very decent or a 04 NSX lid if you can get ahold of one. Use a set of 26mm wheels as well, all the way around and see how it goes.

He is using the stock "spring holders", so adding spacers could be tricky 😉

It is indeed the crappy stock shocks, the crappy stock tires and the short wheelbase as well!

No matter what kind of racing you're talking about as has been said so often it's tires, tires & tires. I would listen to Raman he's a very experienced Tamiya driver and his suggestion may be an easy improvement.
