Nice companion to my TA04S.

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

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.
