i ordered me a tt-02 kit today Tamiya alfa romeo 155 v6 TI MARTINI... gonna run this in a Tamiya class near my home in a caret season.. also purchased this servo will this servo work the futaba model s3010 hi torque ball bearing. I also read through the board something about setting it up as a rally car for a durable structure.. some more info on that as well.. also anyone familiar with this kits im looking for a weight of finished product, I will be upgrading to bearing set as well using the metal motor mount.. I believe they say the car must 1450grams.. but I am a noob to this.. so im curious does this come with the adjustable turnbuckles... an friction shocks do these require oil??? sorry for the run on ?'s but as stated im new to this sorta racing.. an any other help will be greatly appreciated

Can the both version of escs that come with the TT02's run on a 2s lipo? In the product description it states they are 6.6v-7.2v. We would prefer to keep them as stock as possible to grow the class and not let it get out of hand so that anyone can get a kit put a radio in it and race.

from the reading ive been doing.. im gathering the esc will shut down with a lipo 2s an even a 8.4 nimh.. I bought a futabab s3010 servo an im curious if the speed control will power it, also ive gathered this from reading misc. reviews an such

Hi guys
I am planing to buy a TT02 Type-S mainly for drift and drag racing so i need speed as well.
I need some suggestion for what KV and turn i should use to get max out of tt02. I already have 60AMP Hobbywing ESC and planing to use 3S Lipo. defiantly i will do some Alum upgrade.pls advice which is essential and also are Ring Gear & Bevel Gears made of? is it steel or plastic? if plastic then shuld i change it?

The tble02 that comes with the TT02 is perfectly fine with 2 cell lipo. That is all I have ever used in my TT02.

You might need a low voltage battery alarm if you are just bashing etc as it only has voltage cut-off for life batteries. I never bother as my 6600 lipos run for 3 races and then I swap them out for another set.

Thanks@ Qatmix. any suggetion for BL motor rating with 3S?

I do not think the kit esc would work with a 3cell lipo. The kit esc is supposed to go down to 10.5 sensored motors on 2 cell lipo. If doing that I would suggest adding a fan to the kit esc as some people have blown them with a 10.5 whilst others have been fine.

A 10.5 with 2 cell lipo and low gearing will still get you some good speed. Other than bearings, alloy prop / prop cups, high speed gear set etc there is not much needed to handle the speed. I like the adjustable motor mount from yeah racing, but the Tamiya alloy one is also fine if you do not want to mess around with custom gear options.

Steel internals for the diffs are not needed for onroad, they just add weight. I run a TRF and that has plastic internals and I have never had an issue with them on my tt02's and top end tc's

sir could u please guide me in the direction of tierods for my tt-02...or will the tt-01 tierods if so I can order a set as soon as you confirm thanks in advance

If you mean turnbuckle tie rods for the steering (to adjust toe-in / toe-out), then yes, the TT-01 part # 53662 will fit the TT-02

Ty sir its appreciated an they've been ordered

I picked up 2 kimborough servo savers this evening for our tt-02 kits part number is #114 25 spline for the futabas will these savers work or do we need the bigger ones.. I read somewhere Ned the medium ones but was told that the medium may be to tall so we got the small size I wanna verify this before I open the package.. An help is appreciated

I am sure this has already been covered on here, but I don't have time to look at the moment. What is the wheel size and type that can be used on the TT02?

I am about to buy one for a local club race thing we have going on here local, but want to build my own variant based off a 1960's 70's style nascar.
The first body I am going to go with is the Parma 61 Impala
It would be awesome if I could find some "steel wheels" like they actually used back in the day. Anyone know of anything close?

You could look at the hpi vintage wheels. They make them in 26mm and 31mm widths.

Thanks a lot! Those are near perfect for what I am shooting for

The HPI Vintage wheels are designed to be used with the HPI Vintage tires. If your local class has a spec touring car tire, they most likely won't be able to be mounted on the HPI Vintage wheels.

HPI does make a 26mm "stock car" wheel in black that is designed for standard touring car tires. The part number is 3741. Here is a link on Tower (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNV38&P=7)
