50/50 is fun but you can buy Countersteer upgrades for the TT02 anyway. I have one in my TT02 at the moment. (I am writing an article for the site about it).

I will try to get the wheelbase measurements for the TT02S tonight. I think it is wider.

What is the gearing range for this Chassis? Can it get up to 4.2-3.6 FDR range? Thinking of putting one of these together for TCS racing. Not sure if it is capable though. I currently use a TB03 and the TT-02 Type S suspension is what I'm familiar with as they use the 416 arms. I know the TB03 is a much better chassis, but figured I'd ask the users in this thread who are familiar with the TT02 whether it is "capable" enough to run with the higher priced tub models like the TA-05 and TB-03.
What is the typical chassis weight of the TT02?

Thanks.

Thanks. Please post or PM me a link when you're done. I'm looking forward to reading it.

With official tamiya parts you can get down to 5.74 You will need

High speed gear set (54500),
64t spur (51356)
29t pinion (54229)

You can also use 64dp and get 4.35 FDR if you do this

But change the spur and pinion and use the yeah racing motor mount and you can go much lower

Thanks Qatmix,

I've seen your site, but I'm not sure if the Yeah Racing motor mount is legal here in the US for TCS racing. I'll have to find out. They did at one point allow the exotek mount till Tamiya released their own for the TB-04.

4.35 sounds like a combo for one certain motor that I have currently, but my other 17.5 motors are liking my FDR as high as 3.6-3.8 for Tamiya USA track here in Southern California. Maybe the TT-02 isn't a viable chassis for this if I were to run my "faster" motors in this chassis.

+1

I'm having trouble deciding between the standard and drift kits. If I were to get the standard, where could I find the 'hardened' A parts from the drift kit? If I get the drift, what's a reasonable ESC to use? Is it true that the ESC on the standard kit doesn't have a low-voltage LiPo cutoff?

hardened parts try banzai or ebay.
if it's for drifting I reckon just get a motor/esc combo, all esc's should have cut off.
Though maybe check with drifters as im not sure if there's an ideal turn motor for it.
I know the stock ESC for the tt02 had no cut off. They don't even state it's lipo friendly (prob due to no cut off).

Hello sirs. This is my 2nd time to ask. Is the width of the TT02S wider than the TT02R? I am partial to the TT02S because of its adjustability but concerned that the width is too wide for 187mm tamiya bodies.

Yes i have been told it's fine for tamiya 187mm bodies.

Thanks Sir Qatmix. I look forward to reading your future reviews.

I'm busy building my TT02s, what a superb chassis. In my opinion I think the type s will be much beter than the normal TT02. Can't wait to test it, just waiting for a few hopups to arrive

I have the basic TT02. What are the most practical upgrades for stock touring races? Thanks.

There are a lot of things you can do to the TT02. The most important is Bearings, oil shocks. Then I would look at the low friction steering posts and shimming the car to make it tight.

The rear uprights at 2.5deg also make the car more stable in the corners.

The alloy prop and cups are not needed with 17.5, but they are nice.

Thank you for the tips...
