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.

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?
Ciao Manlito, quest'è per te!

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.

Looking at getting a TT02 for my son. I have a 1800kv brushless motor sitting in the shed im considering putting into it. Anyone recommend a gearing combo that will work with that motor?

1800KV is very slow for a touring car. I'd try the stock gearing and see what the speed actually is before attempting to guess how much higher to go.

Most 21.5T motors I looked at are listed at around 1700 - 2100kv which is why I went with the 1800kv for him for now. What is the stock motor like that comes with the kit?
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

the tt02 I got 3 years ago came with a silver can (27t motor)

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

He is 7. Was going to get him that for now and look at a 21.5T down the track.

Does anyone know if the Subaru 1999 WRX body comes with pre-drilled holes?

If it's a Tamiya body none are pre drilled. Should get a body reamer, if you enjoy the hobby a lot, the reamer will serve you for many bodies...

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.

The older bodies did come pre drilled. If it's the Impreza body that was just re-released, it likely isn't 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.
