Wow! thank you!! Great info on that page.

It looks like there is a different part altogether that may already be in my kit. I'll have to look for it, -but looks like it is a lot cleaner and will save a ton of weight.

thanks!

Yes, agreed.
Also per that link it says that the TT02d kit comes w/ some "hardened" plastic parts. I did have duplicate parts trees ...i'll have to look and verify that i used the hardened parts vs the regular parts. That link is great, ...really useful.

Hey guys! This month I bought some hopups for my TT-02. I switched to brushless (Turnigy Trackstar 80A ESC and 13.5T motor) and installed bearings, alu prop shaft, universal front shafts and hpi wheels (Rays TE37 bronze) and tyres. Now the car is quite fast and easier to handle. I'm having a lot of fun bashing it!
I also bought an IR thermometer to check motor temperature. Can you tell me what temperature it must not exceed?
Another question: is there a larger undertray or something that covers the lower deck? I had to disassemble my silvercan because a debris blocked the rotor. There was no internal damage but i preferred to switch to brushless and keep the stock combo as a spare. I don't want to have this issue again, so I need something that avoids debris going in the lower deck.
Finally I understood how to upload picture, so I can present to you my TT-02

The reinforced parts that are included in the TT-02D kit are grey the standard parts are plain black like the rest of he chassis parts.

You should check w/ your particular motor, but in general I don't like my motors to exceed about 170 tops. 155-165 is preferred. Be sure to take the reading after about 5mins of run time.

Hey, what is up w/ your tires!! You need new ones really bad..

Thank you very much! I took the picture of the chassis about 10 days ago, when I installed new combo and hopups and I was waiting for new tires and wheels to be shipped. You can see they're not the same in the pictures. New wheels came with foam inserts so I hope now all the tread will wear and not only the inner part.

For a cover would it be possible to adapt a off road body to fit with valcro. T
The shumacher shot gun used a similar arangement

Do you think the Neo Scorcher body should be ok?

Nope, my kit didn't come w/ the hardened parts (lighter grey color).
I ordered the TT-02D type S kit. ...it came w/ a lot of goodies, but not the hardened parts.

So, I am going to order that part, ...going to hunt it down. (I hate the large bumper piece sticking off the back).

It will not fit on the type-S as you have a different arm mount holding the suspension pins.
