Yes, as much as I dislike the messy stuff, I couldn't imagine driving on-road without tire sauce, as pretty much any tire I know more or less requires its use. Luckily, over here the odorless variants are mandatory, so at least no headaches.

If you must use treaded tires, try the HPI X-pattern belted tires. These are 26mm wide and will fit the stock Tamiya rims perfectly. I also like the Gravity RC spec USGT tires that come either pre-glued or separately as rubber tires only. These are 24mm wide, and if you buy just the rubber tires be sure to also purchase the proper width rims.

USGT tires are 24 wide but easily fit on 26mm wide as well. In fact they work better on the 26mm wide wheels because the tires are NOT belted and balloon over time. The 26 mm wide wheels reduce the balloon effect quite a bit. Can't beat the price either, USGT tires are cheap and perform well, long life too.

One of the things I typically love about Tamiya, is that majority of parts can be use across their kits.. eg from TT02 to TRF420. Tonight however I hit a major hick up.
I purchased 39mm DCJ joints for my TT02 RR. The dcj package comes with a 5x10x3 bearing. Well it turns out, it’s not enough, the cross pin won’t go in. I tried it on 4 hubs. Nope!
You need a 5x10x2.5 bearing.. good luck finding one! 🤦🏻
