Nice companion to my TA04S.:nod:

I see they have released A, B and D parts in Blue now.. but I don't see arms included in any of the parts trees. Is that because of the kit variations?

Hey gang, what is the degree of toe-in on the rear uprights of a stock TT-02?

Thanks!

Zero degree :lol:

I picked up the R edition. Intend on using it to get back to racing. Use to run F1.
I want to know if I use the kit included 64t spur and 27t pinion. Would I need to run a fan for 21.5 or 17.5 ?

Depending on the class, you will probably need to change gearing to get the final drive ratio around 4 or lower. Mine is set up for USGT and I run the optional gear adapter that accepts other spurs and also use the Yeah Racing motor mount.

Fan on the motor is usually a good thing, especially when you are running really tall gears.

First just want to get the feel of the speed. Then when I race. Will get the gearing down further. Really want to only use factory racing parts. Nothing yeah racing only my ti screws!

Hi All,
I have not run Silver Can in ages. I am setting up a TT-02 to get my 5 year old son racing. I'll start with the stock gearing, but if he manages to not crash much, can anyone recommend a gear ratio for the torque tuned motor? Do I just drop it all the way down, 5.74?
Thanks,
Jose

With the standard motor mount you can get 5.74 using the high speed gear set, 29T pinion and 64T spur

I get you it lol

The yeah racing motor mount is the only non Tamiya part I have on any of my Tamiya cars ;)

The Tamiya mount has fixed holes the yeah is adjustable. That's the benefit. Disadvantage is it's not legal for TCS races

I JUST SCORED!

I've been thinking of making the updates to my standard TT02 to convert it to a Type S (carbon uprights, suspension mount kit, new a-arms, castors and bearing carriers, etc). All told I was looking at close to 150 bucks. I was poking around Ebay and found a store front that looks like they part out Tamiya kits. I was able to snag the entire B bag with almost all the parts I need for 30 bucks shipped from UK to Seattle. ALl I need is the a-arms and rear bearing carriers now. What went from another 150 bucks on a 100 dollar car is now about 65!

Nice!
Enjoy your car. And post some pics ;)

Could you also write the part numbers, please? I'm interested in the convertion but don't know all the parts it needs and a kit is quite expensive

Got a link? Been looking to do the same!

I set my TT02 up for my 10 yr old son for this year's season. He ran the TT02 stock (silver can torque tuned motor and stock gearing) for 2 full practice sessions. He did really well w/ minimal crashing, -so I upped the speed a bit by going to the high speed gear set above. The car really hauls now and is plenty fast. He did get one practice session in w/ the latest setup and still did well and the extra speed made him happy. -but of course the new issue is keeping grip around hard turns. ...he's learning that he has to ease in and throttle out.
