It's a nice review of the build, this was something i was waiting for to be convinced about the quality of this kit. It convinced me to buy the kit for our club endurance races. The nice body is an extra nice bonus :)

Do the TA04 universals still fit this car?

Super noob in the hobby but i purchase a TT02. no aluminum shaft yet, but i think a carbon propeller shaft will last until the aluminum ones will come up.

Is main shaft really carbon reinforced? Isn't it just glass-reinforced plastic, used on middle-class Tamiya chassis?

I believe it is carbon reinforced and there are 2. Maybe someone has any idea, if i can use tamiya 55T spur and 26T pinion? from TT01. right now the spur is 70T and 22t pinion

If you want to be sure, take a look on parts tree with main shaft, you should found this:

I think there's no reason to explain what GF/CF mean

Nice, the body looks really good, will get one as soon as it come out on its own. Though I'm kinda surprised everyone went with the red scheme. I'm gonna paint mine white with some CF stickers.

Super newbie on playing RC, and would love to try a yellow scheme(original plan). I dont know, someone guided my hand to get the bright red tamiya paint. Just tried the 27T pinion and it fits 98.5% well over a 70T spur. =) maybe a -1 FDR would make a lil difference

ok so i have run about 20 packs through my tt-02. stripped the gears in the rear end of the car, as well as melted pretty much all the plastic bearings. $20 later i have a full ceramic bearings and new gears. i learned just for testing purposes that tamiya tt-01 gears work or at least the pinion for the rear diff works. just realized it but the battery tray is now lipo friendly as you can put pretty much standard 2s lipo pack in the tray.

Why not just buy a TB03. Thats all the TT02 is. look at them both. Only thing not the same is the way the shocks are mounted.

TT02 stock with 70T spur and 26T pinion is a bit faster than a 55T with 27T tt01. Not sure if the ferrari aero is good compared to VW Golf. Overall happy with the purchase. not so much vibration eventhough the shaft is plastic.

the TB-03 is nice but the TT-02 was a decent buy mostly because it was $115 so thats a plus lol but with the TT's i can run it without being my usual self and be scared to crash lol plus i half the time i enjoy the building more then the driving (since dont too much time to drive anyways)

26/70 in the TT02 is not a recommended combo by the manual. Ratio is 7,00.
Gear mesh could be a bit tight. You should keep an eye on it.
27/55 in an TT01 is the ratio 5,41 and much faster regarding topspeed. If your TT02 is faster in this constellation, then your TT01 is broke.;)
You should check the drivetrain for drag or worn bearings...

Br,

I had full bearing set on the TT02 and manage to clean and lubricate the bearings on its full potential. Added soft springs at the front and dark blue stiff springs at the back. Anyway its a good buy, specially for the newbies like me =)

Anyone knows where I could find the manual online?
I usually can find all the Tamiya-manuals as pdf documents on the US- and the Japanese Tamiya-site... But not the one from the TT-02??

Manual is available on Tamiya.de

Lol, thx Papi, but I just was about to post here again that I found them on that same Germans site :)

Strange though, that they still are not available on the Us- nore Japanese Tamiya-site.

hi could someone please post the batt tray dimensions.
cheers
mark

I wouldn't fit a 26t in, the mesh would be too tight.

I took my stock TT01 to my club for a race instead of my 417.. I was impressed with the stock set-up and the car is much more nimble than the TT01.

To be honest, 26T and 70T doesn't have any squeak, or any tight feeling with the gears. raced it 3 times and it soothes fine. sadly i ran to a stiff corner and broke the left knuckle of my TT02 :cry:

Ill be installing TRF dampers soon. But for now, red springs at the back and blue one at the front.

The reference to making the kit from wood and cardboard is the best criticism I've seen ever! I'm still laughing. :lol:

Pls continue to compare the performance of tto1 and tto2.

Thx

I've ordered mine yesterday and very curious about it's performance, i will compare it with my TT-01R E-type.

After owning a TT01 for a long time the TT02 is better in every way. I will post another race update soon. Most importantly the speed gear set looks to allow you to fit your own spurs so some 17.5 suitable FDR's might be possible

Thanks and look forward to the comparison.

Wonder if its possible to gear this down to 3.7 for VTA.

61T spur and 28T pinion, hope someone could try, i think its possible =)

70T spur and 26 vs 68T and 26T pinion on silvercan doesnt make any much difference right?

It should give you some acceleration advantage in case of the 70T spur and with the 68T spur it should give you slightly more speed.

I've been reading your blog about the TT-02, what size of swing shaft did you use?
And i saw that it's possible to have a wide setup, is that with standard parts out of the box or are there modifications needed? Are there longer swing shafts needed for the wide conversion?
I've allready have the wheel outdrives and the cross joints but need to be sure about the length of the swing shafts in narrow and wide conversion.
So i'll be able to order the correct ones.

Wow, that's great news.....we don't have to use Tamiya spur.

This means potentially, one could put a really fast motor into it (e.g. 5.5T) and not worry about shredding the gears.....

Am I correct ?

Any chance the spur adapter will work on the TT01? For $7.50 I'm willing to get one to try, but I thought I'd ask here first. :)

Anyone put a fast most in this car yet ? E.g. 7t ?


If so, what was the spur, pinion and gear ratio ?

MANY THANKS

The speed gear set for the TT02 you can already buy as single parts.
It´s the spur adapter from the TB03, a spacer sleeve, and a FF03 spur gear with 64T:
54094
51356
The spacer you can simply replace by 2 850 ball bearings or the metal bushings from the kit for the moment.
I´m using a spur gear from my TB03, in combination with an 28T module 0,6 pinion from my TT01.
That gives me 1:5,94 , and this weekend I will switch to 29T and 1:5,74, which is ideal for our CE4 spec rule and our track layouts.
I already tried some module 0,4 combinations, but problem is the fixed holes for the Motor plate It´s too tight or loose most of the time.
I hope some manufacturer will do an motor plate with slide holes soon.:nod:

Br,
Matthias

How come not much interest in this car?

I guess it's still to early about the size of intrest in this car.
It's a kind of car that will be arround for many years to come but it will come when there are more positive comments about it's handling and comparing against the TT-01.
Mine should arrive in the next days and i look forward to campare it's handling between the TT-01E and this car.

Well it's relatively new with only the Ferrari 458 body now and the lancia delta later. I guess when they re-release the older bodies on this chassis more people will buy it just for the body alone. :)

I am impressed with the car, its better than the tt01, the next thing I will be testing on my blog is running the car with 17.5 spec class. The report should be ready soon. I think I have managed a gearing of 4.1 with 64dp, although I am waiting for a spur gear to arrive.

You can manage 4,1:1 with 64dp.
Maybe you have to drill the motormount slightly for little adjustment.
with 64dp it´s either too close or too loose most of the time, for a good gear mesh.
Eagle racing has already an Aluminum motor mount, but unfortunately it´s only the stock type up to now with the same mounting holes as the kit one...

Let us know, how you mange to make it fit!
BR,
Matthias

Can anyone pleasevtell me a good esc, motor and servo combo for the ta06

Yep, I will let you know. What 64dp combo did you use for the spur / pinion to get 4:1

Hi again,
I attached some of my calculation as pdf,
hope this helps a bit.
As explained, it does not fit too good with the kit motor plate.
But with some drilling/adjustments it should work.
