Tamiya TT02 Thread
#2926
If you pick up a basic TT02 kit, in my opinion, don’t waste your money buying the CVA plastic oil filled dampers.
For the same money you can buy the Yea racing aluminium which are basically a copy of the TRF. The threaded shock collars allow you to adjust ride heigh much more accurately.
Unless your planning to race in Tamiya TCS, which only allows for Tamiya parts

What's the most robust option for rear toe? I'm using the body posts on the rear bumper so need the rear bumper to be attached.
I could fabricate something. I'd 3d print something but no plans openly available and I haven't taken the plunge into designing yet.

The current state of the chassis.
Upon further looking at the yeah racing rear toe mount, It might work with the bumper; I just need a caliper measurement from the front to back of the adjustable mount where the screws go.

Hard to find parts are:
1. Replacement chassis
2. Belts.. V1 in particular
all other bits are more or less interchangeable and upgradable with later cars.. eg you can use suspension arms from 418, 419, 420 with no issues.
Belt, you can switch to V2 belt if you change the pulleys, which is better anyways. V2 belts can still be found.
Hop Up.. there is still plenty of inventory out there

Not sure the brand but here's where I got them. They have really good grip and the price isn't bad either.

Mounted on generic aluminum wheels.

I love the Porsche bodies. I'd love to get the Tamiya Toyota TS020 GT-ONE body but I'm not even sure it would fit on the TT02.
I feel like something is off on the chassis. I put the shorter lower eyes on the shocks and moved the front shocks in up top. I have 2mm droop in the front and no rear droop with the mini CVAs.
Still pulls to the left pretty hard. I also have the 30mm foams. I'll have to get the ride height but its about 6mm front and 7mm rear.

Hi guys. Do you guys recomend 2 oil diffs or just rear and in the front stock with thick grease or locker? I am looking at the YeahRacing one.

I typically run front diff locked / spool and rear with Oil filled. The only car I run a front diff on is my XV01 which is used for Rallye on dirt, snow etc.. that has a gear diff, but with very thick fluid
