Tamiya TT02 Thread
#1051
Hey all. Wondering if someone can answer 2 question for me:
1. Can the smaller Mini Chassis rims/wheels fit on the TT02 or 01 chassis?
2. What is the narrowest you can get the chassis - outer edge of wheel to outer edge of wheel?
Thanks for your help

Sorry my post had a typo, the regular TypeS and D TypeS are the same suspension but they as a pair are a different suspension to the basic TT02 and TT02D (those 2 are also the same as each other). The central chassis, steering and transmission are common to all.

Well, I was thinking about something rigid like a plastic cover because my esc has a fan and I'm afraid a fabric could damage it or get sucked in.
Since the weather will be hotter (here in Southern Italy temperature is 30-35°C), I'm thinking about installing a motor heatsink. I check motor temperature every 5 mins with an IR thermometer and I read about 40-50°C. Do you think I'll need an heatsink? Is it normal that it is hotter near the pinion?

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa for USGT class. I attempted to do an Italian flag / stripe down the length of the body... as always, that nasty paint got under the masking tape.

Apart from wheel bearing kit, is there anything else I should consider to get?

Depends how old your son is but yes with stock gearing that could be slow and he could outgrow it quick.. Still quicker than a silver can
21.5t is a common class where I race locally but obviously geared with a big pinion which I'm quite sure you're quite limited with the tt02 unless you get a sliding motor mount...
Thercracer.com touches on this

Novice touring car run this. Probably good for a child 10 years older or less but as noted they'll outgrow it once they get comfortable

Was going to use the body on a different chassis. Just wanted to make sure they didn't come pre-drilled to suit that chassis. Sure Ive seen some Tamiya bodies that have already been pre-drilled.

I'm new here, here's my build.
Just getting back into it after a few year hiatus. Bought a Tamiya TT02 and did a mild build to get my feet wet again.
Tamiya TT02 911 RSR Kit
Amazon off brand 9t Brushless / brushless ESC
Older Futaba radio system
Body :
Pactra Purple Crush Pearl
Pactra Indy Silver
Wheels :
Barrel - Testors matte silver aerosol
Face - Rustoleum for plastic gloss black, rustoleum Colorshift galaxy blue pearl.
For some reason the pearl leeched the color off the black and turned them into a grey pearl. I'll take it.
