Cool I like your hop-ups. Here's my type-s

Aluminum shaft and joints
Xv-01 front cvds
Tt01 bumper holder

I don't thing my layout is TCS legal though. I was trying to cut weight with this layout. 1414g ready to roll.

My TT02 Type S is broadly the same spec as yours, with a couple of extra tweaks:

TRF double cardan front driveshafts (44mm bones replaced by 42mm).
TRF dampers (#42102 as the Short Dampers run the car too low).
RM01 servo mounts to bring the steering link more in line.
#54580 carbon reinforced 4 degree front hubs.
TRF419 steering arms.
Rebound stoppers (to allow use of droop screws).

This car owes me a small fortune but honestly I built it because I could, going out and buying a TRF417v5 or 418 would've made much more sense but wouldn't have been half as much fun.

Next upgrades will be ball diffs to try to allow more regulated distribution of the power. I'm running in a control class at the moment hence the brushed motor but the normal power plant is a 17.5 non-boosted brushless. The Type S is a great chassis.

Some really cool looking TT02's there. I am in the middle of making a TT02-S race spec. I also recently got the TT02D Type-S which has more goodies than the std TYPE-S but is the same price!

The tt02d type-s seems to be the biggest bang for the buck. I definitely would have bought that over the regular type-s. One thing I have to say is there is a ton of plastic parts left over from the type-s build. Glad I have the tt02r to use the bunch plastic for spares. So far I've only busted the steering arms. I ordered the aluminium bits to replace them on both kits. I wanted to build the type-s for tcs novice race so my son can participate. He will be 10 next year and he's getting good at getting around the track without hitting the boards. I don't know what kind of car the R will be yet.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question...what is the difference between the tt02 and the tt02ya?
I want the zakspeed capri and tower has two versions and they are not too clear on what is different between the two kits.

It doesn't sound familiar! I cant recall reading anything about this type of the TT-02!!:confused:

Other stores carry the TT-02ya as well!! hmmmm makes me wonder!

But cant help you right now!!:o

Then I just have to get one and give a full report. :D. :tire:

It's just a typo. I have built that kit for someone and it's a std TT02 (But the wheelbase is set to the shorter length)

Where do I get a strap for shorty lipos? All I have is shorties. :(

My son ran his with Shorty. Use the same strap just use foam blocks to shim the shorty. I used foam blocks from our SC10 works perfect.

I found the " common sense Rc" ones on amazon. I think I ordered the 12" ones and they were too long. Not a big deal if you have a sewing machine at the house I just put a hem in the strap to the size I wanted.

My TT-02
 

Can't wait to try this puppy out. I'm using a Traxxas 380 motor and an aftermarmarket aluminum motor mount with the stock esc.

Re-release TA-02
 

Will be testing the TT-02 against old school TA-02. Right off the bat I can say the TT-02 drive-tran is super smooth compared to the TA-02.

I would think the TA02 will have trouble keeping up with the TT02 because of gearing options also. Perhaps pairing up against a 380 will give it a chance.
