That is not a correct statement.
The kit is compatible with TT-02, TT-02R and TT-02D chassis cars.
I use the upper arm kit on my mostly stock Subaru Rally

One of my all time favourite Tamiya bodies. They should do an update and add option for real light to it

simple How tight does the chassis cover sits above the spur gear?

I see you have opted for the The RC Racer TT-02 prop shaft holder. At least that what it looks like to me :-)

Thanks.

Hello,

Noobie here...planning to join TCS Pro-Spec this year and I just have a question regarding 'Article 7: Motor Rules', specifically about installing fan/s:
  • How are we supposed to install fan/s for the motor? Are "bolt-on, off-brand, after-market fan mounts that bolt around the motor circumference" allowed?
  • Are 3D designed/printed fan mount/s for the motor permitted?

Any help and/or clarification are most appreciated.

Thank you! =)

my 30x30 fan bolts on the tamiya mount supplied in the kit. But then we don't race in any tamiya series events.

Thank you. I normally don't see that part installed out on the track.

It might be since this raises the CG (center of gravity) higher, which most touring car racers DON'T want.
I usually stick my fan on the chassis with double stick tape.

Tamiya #58702-60A (TT-02 Chasis)
Subaru BRZ (ZD8)
Wheels/Tires shown are included with the kit
Body includes black molded side mirrors with silver "mirror" stickers (I used red vinyl instead of the included kit blue upper stickers)

Interior body paints (Tamiya "rattle" cans)
PS-37 Translucent Red
PS-36 Translucent Silver (used to back PS-37)
PS-52 Champagne Gold/Anodized Aluminum (used to back PS-36)
PS-31 Smoke (applied last)

Exterior paints
PS-5 Black (front grill & lower rear valance)
Clear matte (spray over PS-5 to dull/protect the finish)

LIght buckets
PS-5 Black (front light bucket)
PS-41 Bright Silver (rear light bucket - not visible in these photos)

I will try to get a better pictures using natural light to replace these photos. These were taken with a cell phone indoors with no flash. In person the color is much more red/vibrant with a metallic look. I put down a several light coats of red, backed with translucent silver, backed with champagne gold/anodized aluminum. I then took off the window masks and put down several light coats of smoke.

I painted the front grill and rear lower valance from the outside (by peeling back some of the over-spray film and masking with tape) using black covered with a matte clear. In hindsight I would have also painted the front lower spoiler from the outside as I didn't like the stickers for this area of the car.

The kit includes window masks, light bucket masks & lexan light buckets. You can see the front buckets through the clear sticker at the front. The front light buckets each have several small stickers to replicate light bulbs. The rear lenses on the body also have several small stickers. If this was a race body, I would remove the buckets and put a silver or black sticker to cover the front "lens"

Overall a relatively easy body to paint. Be aware like many Tamiya bodies, you have to cut out the stickers and the window/light masks. In total there were over 70 individual stickers to cut out.

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion/reminder...I already forgot about that part. On the TCS rules, they allow up to 40mmX40mm fans though...I wonder what they will allow to use as mounting for those.

Thanks again! =)
