I did my DIY conversion to S. :D It is not complete though. I'm definitely buying that drift S-type when it reaches the LHS.

Just to continue with conversion discussions. Those of you with Type-S know this but those that don't have the car, you can see the 'special' pieces needed for the conversion. There are not that many as seen in this picture. The complexity is that you then need the complete suspension and drives from a 417, 418, 419, TB04 Pro or similar.

I guess it would be more cost effective to buy the Type S kit itself.

Plus the shock towers and the suspension spacers/mounts are not really available separately.

TT-02 to type-S conversion parts Tamiya 54634 - Suspension metal parts set Tamiya 54632 Front carbon Type S shock tower Tamiya 54633 Rear Carbon Type S shock tower and also to get droop settings sorted you can get Tamiya 54638 - Steel rebound stopper (You will need two of these as they only come as a pair). You can only fit the rebound stopper on this steel suspension set, not on the kit set (I have been told, but cannot confirm). so if you have the S you can buy the seperate parts 54636, and 54637 which replace the kit part and are cheaper than buying the full set. |
The TT02 is turning out to be quite a competitive entry level chassis. Almost all of the features I am looking for is there. Plus I can mount those lovely Tamiya bodies I want without making a mistake in doing so (I am bad at it). All I have to do is follow the dimples! Yes! :lol::D

The weakness of the car are the steering uprights. I would definitely by aluminum after front uprights.

You could also look at adding TA04 suspension arms on the S as they are really tough. |

Yep, but if you move over to Type-S that is resolved as the TRF416 uprights are fine.

was wondering where i could get a cheap camber mod for the front, i tried to add camber but the rob that connects the diff to the wheel was to short or the front lower arm was limiting its movement?
could i have some links to some kits etc and advice please? UK ONLY PARTS |

[QUOTE=Qatmix;14017856]I had a simple guide. you can actually try to use some Metal PC spacers to do the same thing as the machined parts
this is what iv found and tried but it didnt work for mine as the lower arm stops it from moving atall along with the dog bone? |

Yes, you will be able to buy the parts to convert it. Here is are the part numbers, not all of these parts are available yet, but will be very soon (June)
