nice in black , i do love the 73 rsr

It looks black but its actually the PS Pearl, backed with translucent blue, backed with black. It looks black until the sun hits it just right, then its a deep blue with heavy pearl flake. I'll need to dig out the DSLR camera to get a real good pic of the color. But it came out like I wanted; Like the Tuxedo Black on some of the older Corvettes.

Now I just wished I bought a better alloy steering assembly. The Yeah Racing has loads of slop.

I did the same thing with my TT02R. Ordered the whole Yea Racing blue aluminum kit. Looks so good. The R is my speed run rig.

Thanks bud! Yeah I wanted to do magnetic mounts, then I figured I could just try to make the body posts look like hood pins. I think it worked pretty well!

Has anyone got 47333 lying around that they would part with. Its the blue A parts, looking for some to complete a project

I was going to suggest reaching out to Tamiya fans on Tamiyaclub.com, but it looks like someone has already helped you there.

There is also Tamiyabase.com as well as the Wanted to Buy forum here on RCTECH.NET...

https://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-items-wanted-buy-17/

Good luck on your quest.

Editable set-up sheet
 
I’ve made a Stock TT02 editable set-up sheet to download. Following this I also thought I would share my base set-up for asphalt tracks.

In the memo sections for the dampers, what are the 0.4 and 0.2mm shims for?

For a parking lot with less traction, would you run softer springs?

Those shims are used to fine tune the ride height. They ate 3mm internal diameter. Slide them on the piston and then fit the ball cup. This adds a finer amount of tuning to the ride height when using plastic CVA shocks.

If you use the TRF threaded units then you don’t need to do it as they provide fine adjustments anyway.

For low bumpy tracks softer springs are fine, but I would still start with the above. It is a very versatile base set-up.

I would first however add shock rebound to ensure the tyres are always in contact with the more uneven surface. This provides more grip than you could imagine on car parks etc.


Also adding more ride height can give you more lateral grip in the corners, but you will suffer if there are any faster switchbacks etc.

3D printed TT02 Aero parts.
 
Alright guys, got some PETG filament in so have been printing, tweaking and test fitting for a couple days. The Front Splitter is the 3rd version and the Rear Diffuser is on its 4th version already. I have a side skirt I've designed for the left side that I am tweaking that fits well, and I'll mirror it for the right side then add the additional cutouts. The skirts will attach to the sides of the bathtub chassis. I haven't decided between clips, screws, or double sided tape for mounting yet. First sets will most likely get the double sided tape for testing.

Let me know what you think along with any design suggestions you may have. The side skirts are simple, straight ones at this point.

So you are running zero droop? because you are controlling the ride height with the shock lengte

No. Normally you reduce droop in front, to maybe 1mm over ride height.. eg you push down on front shocks to settle suspension.Then you pull up on body posts and you want upwards movement around 1mm. Rear you do around 2-3 mm.

Quick aero update
 
Finished up the aero kit. After work today I'll try to modify some of it to make it more "generic" to fit more kits. The diffuser will take quite a bit to make "universal" so I'm not sure about that one.
