Ya it looks good. As long as the price point is on par should sell good.

Quick question. I am considering changing to 48p gearing. My TT-02R came with a 68t spur and a 27t pinion in mod 6. Can someone tell me what would be equal using 48p gearing?
thank you

Your best bet is to pick up the Yeah racing motor mount. Then you can mesh with ease.

I'm hoping I'm the only one that is having a problem with this. But I've noticed that in the last two Yeah racing motor mounts I bought - the radius of the arc opposite the pivot point that the motor screw goes through is too small - The result is that the motor screw hole winks in the slot - forcing the locking screw to cross thread on an angle into the motor - NOT GOOD - fortunately I have access to machines to fix. I'm not sure if the issue is with the Brushless (Fantom) motors I use? A bad batch of motor mounts/. Buyers beware!

Had to make a jig and mill the two edges of the slot - you can just barely see here where the anodized is cleared

I bought two of those Motormounts and had exactly the same problem. I had to grind some material off to make them fit.
Also with the TATT-034 Anti-Roll Bar Mounts I could not get the screws in the the Tub Chassis. The holes in the bracket seem to be 0.5mm to far outboard on eighter side. So elongated holes where needed.
With the Lower Arm Mounts TATT-028 and TATT-029 I could not push them all the way in X till they sit against the Tub Chassis. The tab for the bottow Z-screw seem to be slightly wider then the humps on the chassis below the differentials. So I have to shave some material eighter off the chassis or the aluminum mount.

I get the impression that somebody at Yeah Racing does not know how to use a Caliper. 😣
(Not to mention the Long Span Suspension Kit for the GF-01 / WR-02, making it fit was a nightmare.)

I also had the fitment issue with the Yeah Racing motor mount, but it only required a very minimal amount of massaging to make it work. I did buy the PSM mount, but haven't tried it yet. It looks to have a much larger motor positioning range.

Much larger? :weird:Looks the same to me, just different color.

I’ve recall a motor that would not line up properly a few years back.. don’t recall the brand. Could have been a fantom as I used to run those

I haven't measured but to me its definitely larger in the photos. If you look at the width versus the screw holes at the bottom it seems to indicate the PSM is larger. Maybe my use of "much" wasn't ideal :D

Ah, That's clearer, I see it now :blush:- the center opening is a bit more oblong, looks like they managed an extra degree or two at each end...
Either way, its too bad Tamiya hasn't made an adjustable piece like this.
The fixed unit can work, but you need to "trial-and-error" to figure out which combination of 64p spur and pinion works for the various hole pairs.

I had to get 3.0 fdr so 52t spur 45t pinion 48pitch so orginal woukdnt of been any good the slotted motir mount helped alot ​​​​

Question about Tamiya Datsun 240Z bodies- have a TT02 and they have two bodies listed One says TT01 - will this body fit the TT02?

Yes. You will need to flip the lower and upper
arms for the shorter wheelbase

So, to answer my own question. A 68t mod 6 spur is approx 41mm diameter. An equivalent diameter 48p spur gear would be a 78t.
To match the final gear ration:
Mod 6 - 64/27 = 2.51
48p - 78/31 = 2.51

Does anyone know of a good TT02 Setup Sheet for carpet and or asphalt? Also what differential viscosity should I be running for carpet?

Have fun with this car on carpet. I ran a TT02 Type S my first year of racing....the car was unbeatable on asphalt....handled like it was on rails. Brought it indoor onto carpet, was like driving a school bus. Tons of oversteer that I could not dial out no matter what settings I changed.

.

Does anyone have a website or person that I can get those carbon droop plates and sway bar mounts.

Does anyone have a good baseline setup for outdoor asphalt.

Awesome thank you MikeTKD.

looking for some TRF shocks for my stock TA-02. Everywhere is outta stock. Do they not make them anymore? This is my daughters car for practice & scooting around the house. She will eventually race in novice with the car. Just looking for a quality upgrade over the friction dampers

You don't necessarily need the TRF shocks , if you can find a CVA Mini Shock set, they are perfectly functional and likely available elsewhere.

you have to glue the tires

Type S on Carpet was great in USGT. You need to make some changes from Asphalt. Do you have the optional droop down stops? A must for carpet.

If you’re oversteering you need to lay down front shocks more and stiffen the front. Post your set up so we can have a look.

Looking at all the different tt-02 kits there is a wide price range of those that come with bodies. Are all the chassis the same with such a bignprice spread?

Want to do a tt-02 class but want to make sure the chassis are a level playing field.

It should say which version of the chassis is included (e.g. the TT-02D, which is meant as a drift version, but apart from the tires is a normal TT-02 just with a few better parts included). The higher tuned versions like the R, RR, Type S, SR, etc. were/are only sold without body, AFAIK.

To simplify further:
The only types of TT-02 Chassis that include Bodies are:
TT-02 (base platform)
TT-02D (drift spec): includes oil shocks and full ball bearings, which are simply the most relevant "upgrades" to your question.
Variations in price within the above group specs are typically related to the licencing associated with the included body.

All the other variations of TT-02 platform do not include a body.

Thank you both. Makes sense.

They have one kit that has all the hop ups minus a body. Other than that they are basically the same thing with different bodies. We have two tracks starting a TT02 class down here in Fla. The fastest guy at one of our races was box stock with bearings 48 p gears and used TC tires.

Actually, I wouldn't say it's due to licensing, as I've seen some kits with a different price depending on the moment. I guess it comes more down to demand and supply..

Also worth considering, some kits such as the 911 RSR "Martini" and the Zakspeed Capri have wider rear tires. Also, a few bodies, such as the 99 Impreza, Yaris WRC, Lancia Delta, etc. come with rally tires instead of slicks. Not a huge difference, but a dynamic difference nonetheless.

We don't use the kit tires. We used USGT tires. Just got the Datsun 240Z body- by the way the new Associated 240 body fits and looks just like the Tamiya body.

They seem to be out of stock. Big bores are available however, but probably slightly short for a TA02 I recommend 55mm from Yeah Racing, which are clones of TRF shocks

As I read this a second time, I pause to consider if the D chassis is more cost effective since it has bearings and shocks?

I don't think the avg price difference - makes a difference... Given the "shock set" (TAM 54753) and bearing set (TAM 54476) comes out to be about the same as the difference in the 2 kit versions (approx $30-$50) depending on which body style you pick.. (Note: there are other less expensive or better options for shock and bearing kits, other than Tamiya brand - but I like to keep it in the family)
It defintely simplifies the package, but the arguably "racier" bodies are not included with the Drift Spec kits.

Just keep in mind that all the Tamiya bodies are primarily designed for looks, not aerodynamic qualities. So for performance, you are almost guaranteed to improve with pretty much any other manufacturer out there. But the looks and the realism of a Tamiya body are hard to beat...
