TT02 vs the TT-01
http://www.thercracer.com/2013/01/ta...irst-pics.html
New flat chassis layout - Easier to run LiPOs vs the cutouts in the TT-01s
Revised suspension geometry
Support for std spur gears

MODELS ----------------------------------------------------

Changes that follow are in comparison to the basic kit.
TT02 - Base Kit. Friction Dampers.

And buy ball bearings,those sleeve bearings will slow the car down and also will cause way more wear on the drive train ect

Also get rid of all the grease,that will only be a magnet for dust and dirt
I fully agree with everything Freaky said. For the gear mesh use a strip of printer paper between the spur and pinion and make it as tight as possible. When you pull out the paper you should have a pretty decent mesh.

Bearing will actually be cheaper in the long run. Spend the $15-20 on a half way decent set of bearings. They will pay for themselves in the long run.

I found that I had to shim my diffs a wee bit to make them a bit tighter and quieter. I think I used either .1 or .2MM shims in them .

And lastly please get rid of the grease, it just collects gunk.

That should get you going.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi everyone !
Got brand new TT02D, planning to set it up as a drift car, very first one for me, so anyone can suggest just have upgrades and setup?
Got in the Rcmart cart some basics hops already as YR motor mount, alloy steering kit, main shaft+joints, solid axle...would add some parts for camber setup, anything else needed?

Thank you!

Hey guys, looking for some advice here.

I've had a few runs on my TT02 and I noticed that it has unequal on power steering. It tends to push to the left much more than it does to the right, it is especially noticeable when coming around a right hand sweeper. It can make nice tight left hand turns but pushes on the other direction.

I've checked the car on a setup station and everything seems to be more or less equal on both sides (considering the slop it has) including steering throw. Also the car seems to have equal left and right steering when doing low speed circles on the ground.

I also checked for tweak and the car seems pretty straight. It also tracks straight on the straigtaway.

When I punch the throttle with the car in my hand, it pulls down towards the right rear wheels. Could this be torque steer thats fighting the rotation of the car when it's steering to the right on power? (Car tries to lean to left but the motor torque is doing the opposite)

Haven't owned a shaft driven car in a long time, anything I can do with setup to alleviate this or do I have to adapt my driving to it?

Right now I have to go off throttle early before the turn to allow it to rotate.

My setup:
Base TT02
17.5T Motor
#10K Diffs F/R
Front Negative toe-in ~1degree
#500 Oil Dampers F/R with Tamiya Yellow Springs
6mm Rideheight
All else unadjustable.

Thanks!

I was told of a gearing mod that they have for the tt02. The 54500 High speed gear set. Does anyone know if that will fit on a tt01e as well?

I believe the TT01 had its own version

A quick Google search says it will.

The TT-02 high speed gear set will fit with the use of some alternative shims/spacers - HOWEVER the TT-02 gearing is very different, and the "fast spur" for a TT-02 is larger than the largest TT-01 spur so you will actually go a lot slower unless you source some special 0.6mod spur gears or try to get everything to line up with 48 or 64 pitch gears instead (not easy considering the TT-01 has fixed positions for the motor).

The 55 Spur with a 28 pinion in the TT-01 gives a ratio of around 5:1.

My plan is actually to switch over to the 48 or even 64p gears and use an aftermarket motor plate anyway so that wont be to bad if it only requires a few shims. Thanks

I just have a quick question hoping someone here might have an answer . I'm ordering the yeah racing titanium screw set to replace the stock screws in my TT02. I think these screws are all metric sizes but I have no idea about what hex driver size I will need for the installation. I checked the yeah racing website but it doesn't say anything about that. So my question is what size do I need? I have hex screw drivers in SAE sizes but not metric at the moment Thanks in advance.

The screws are M3 / 3mm and they use a 2 mm hex driver

Default Sway bars

Has anyone come up with a way to put sway bars on a type-s. I was thinking about ordering the ta05 sway bar kit and coming up with something.

I haven't seen anything like that with my TT02, but I'm running a brushed 540 motor on mine with everything fairly stock except for the fluid dampers and universals. It could just be the effects of torque steer. You may want to shim out any wheel slope you may have. I found my TT02 had a fair amountin the axles on a couple wheels for some reason. I could see that causing some extra torque steer from my experience on other cars with higher power motors and wheel slope. I'm very new to this all, but I think it's something to check.

Check and shim the slip out of the rear hubs, as left out of the box there’s so much slip that the torque from a hotish motor exaggerates rear toe out under power. Also run a thinner weight whatever in the rear diff. Slightly confused you’re mentioning 10k, you know the kit diffs aren’t intended to be used with fluid as they’re not sealed? 3Racing do make a fluid diff though so apologies if you have that. I find the weak link on the steering is usually the kit servo saver so either try an aftermarket one or even easier glue up the kit one so it’s solid and see if it helps. The TT02 isn’t really affected by torque reversal so doubt it’s that..
