At our local track I had started the push for our TT02 Spec class just as a entry level have fun no super seriousness class. Just nice to offer someone new coming to the track a NEW car kit for under $150 that has a motor, esc, body & shoot even the stock tires work. 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 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.

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!

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.

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.
