Indoor I prefer 450cst oil on medium grip Carpet , softer in the front if the grip is really high. Mostly I use the second hole on the inside of the front shocktower, the innermost if the grip is high. I usually switch from 2.5-2.8 to 2.3-2.6 and to the flatter damper position to prevent tracktion rolling. In the rear I use the center hole or the second from the outside to keep the car stable. Furthermore, I do a lot of fine tuning by adjusting the downstop screws and adjusting the width and time I apply the tire additive, adjusting dual rate and negative steering progression on my radio. Changing the roll center via the inner mountings of the upper control arms and changing the track width through different hexes or wheel spacers also offers good options to play around with.
Sometimes progressive springs 2.5-2.8 both front and rear work well on medium grip carpet or outdoors.
On Asphalt I use 500...550 or 600cts shock oil. Mostly 600cst on hot summer days. I have two sets of Xray SLP shocks from my T4 2015 that I use with the PSM shocktowers in the TT02. For Outdoor Racing I prepere one set with the PSS sleeves to quickly feel the difference.
Furthermore I have two 3Racing Differentials. Most times one is filled with 4000cst oil and the other one with 7000cst.
I think Tamiya now provides a better option with 22049.
I just had a look at my car. With the PSM shocktowers I'm using the outer hole on the two hole side with the rear TRF416 Y-Arms to get enough upwards travel out of the shock. (I think this is the 42mm hole measure from the inner hinge pin.) The SR Manual states the inner hole (38mm) with the original shocks and shocktowers. Also I grinded away some material on the arms to clear the spring retainers. 😉

Does anyone know if the new TT02 SRX comes with oil filled dampers or the standard friction shocks. Also has anyone heard of a release date for the car. Been trying to get as SR version but I miss out every time.

Tamico's pre-order page says 20.02.2023 – https://tamico.de/Tamiya-58720-TT-02SRX-4WD-Chassis-Kit
The release date may vary a little from region to region, but no matter where you live sometime in February is a good estimate.

Your best bet is to pick up the Yeah racing motor mount. Then you can mesh with ease.

Also with the TATT-034 Anti-Roll Bar Mounts I could not get the screws in the the Tub Chassis. The holes in the bracket seem to be 0.5mm to far outboard on eighter side. So elongated holes where needed.
With the Lower Arm Mounts TATT-028 and TATT-029 I could not push them all the way in X till they sit against the Tub Chassis. The tab for the bottow Z-screw seem to be slightly wider then the humps on the chassis below the differentials. So I have to shave some material eighter off the chassis or the aluminum mount.
I get the impression that somebody at Yeah Racing does not know how to use a Caliper. 😣
(Not to mention the Long Span Suspension Kit for the GF-01 / WR-02, making it fit was a nightmare.)

I also had the fitment issue with the Yeah Racing motor mount, but it only required a very minimal amount of massaging to make it work. I did buy the PSM mount, but haven't tried it yet. It looks to have a much larger motor positioning range.

Looks the same to me, just different color.

I'm hoping I'm the only one that is having a problem with this. But I've noticed that in the last two Yeah racing motor mounts I bought - the radius of the arc opposite the pivot point that the motor screw goes through is too small - The result is that the motor screw hole winks in the slot - forcing the locking screw to cross thread on an angle into the motor - NOT GOOD - fortunately I have access to machines to fix. I'm not sure if the issue is with the Brushless (Fantom) motors I use? Or a bad batch of motor mounts/. Buyers beware!
