Tamiya TT02 Thread
So Tamiya has announced the TT02 at the 2013 toy fair. Pics in my link here.
I will have the spec sheet typed up in a few minutes :) http://www.thercracer.com/2013/01/ta...irst-pics.html New chassis layout Revised suspension geometry Support for std spur gears UPDATE TT02 Build and Review here http://www.thercracer.com/2013/05/ta...nd-review.html TT02 Tuning and Mods Guide http://www.thercracer.com/2014/08/ta...-and-tips.html Gearing for 17.5t Blinky http://www.thercracer.com/2013/07/ho...inky-with.html Editable set-up sheet. https://www.thercracer.com/2022/04/t...p-and.html?m=0 |

What were you expecting? Graphite, carbon,and al parts everywhere? The TT line has always been geared more to the lower/mid market segment.
|
looks pretty nice , will hold off buying a TT01r type E then haha
|
Finally, here are some pictures of the new TT-02

TBH I am more excited over that 458 Italia body than the car itself. :D

Some low-cost chassis with same or even lower price have FRP parts, aluminium motor holders and oil dampers... Why TT doesn't? |
If you convert the price listed on that German site, they say the price is $230.
|
but i read on the german website it is coming with a ball diff , just as we all swap back to gear diffs hahaha

Receiver box is a nice idea, but who will mount the ESC then above the Servo? Not me for sure...;) Nevertheless, very important car for Tamiya... BR, Matthias |
Want to see the specs on tt02, specifically the weight comparing with tt01e. The chassis has rally/water resistant in mind plus lipo packs as well.
|
The Ferrari body is sweet!
|
not bad for the low bux, but id probably get a sakura for $100, or xv01 for $200. wasnt impressed with the tt01 to work on, even if it is supposed to be a cheap entry level broad spectrum chassis. I do not understand buying low and spending a ton of money on upgrades when you can just buy the better car from the start.

this will be my next chassis if they bring out the R version and it is allowed in our TT01 class next winter ;-) |
The car is good,but they really need to start giving oil shocks with their kits.step screw need to be remove and ball joints supplied.decent low cost racer.

Well, I was expecting at least steel dogbones, proper friction dampers and C-hub-type suspension.. TL-01 was also low cost and it had these basic things..

My question, will the car actually come with bearings, not bushings Whats up with that tamiya, it would cost tamiya maybe $5 to throw in a set of cheap bearings. Plastic driveshaft ??, really, why not just make the car out of wood & cardboard. Its as if they really dont care. A alu shaft would cost Tamiya maybe 20c to make ?? TT01 has really been an overpriced throwback to 10 years ago. Its honestly the sort car car you'd expect from a no-name Chinese company & sold on ebay for $50 TT02 :nothing of significance, overpriced, underspecced Tamiya will make bucketloads of $$ on upgrades, thats why those common parts arent on the TT01 or TT02 Locally we have guys who end up spending $500++ on TT01 upgrades (yes) & still have a car that honestly isnt good for anything but puttering around a carpark for a bit of fun, Or drifting . Toughest RC onroad ever made though. |
If this car didnt have the Tamiya name tag on it, it would be a joke.
lets be honest, if this car was a Henlong we'd be making jokes about it right now. |
Yeah I miss my TL01, I wish they updated it instead of the TT01. I think Tamiya's goal here is to build "easy to assemble" kit for like 9 years old upwards crowd.
|
The was mention of the prop shaft being shorter in a previous post....
Anyway to back this up? I really can't see Tamiya changing much as they would want most TT01 hop up parts to be compatible so they do not have to re-engineer new parts thus keeping their own manufacturing costs down. Just a thought! |
Its 2013 and they're still using dynamites for power?... LOL
|
Does the stock drivetrain even handle brushless power?
|
I don't see what all the fuss is about:confused:. It's a cheap as chips (for Tamiya) RTR designed to be sold to the masses. 99% of them will be run til something breaks, then thrown away. Last TT01 I bought, was just so I could get the body. Sold the chassis, so basically got the highly detailed body for free:lol::lol:
Get over it. Want something decent, then buy something decent. Everyone on this forum surely knows that. |

So, this chassis no longer has the fixed gearing of the TT-01? The pinion/spur mesh can be adjusted like every other on-road car on the market, finally?

Aw c'mon. Bushings. Plastic shaft. Same crappy non-adjustable mega-slop steering. And so on. For "only" 170 euros which only includes kit, body, crap motor and esc. Sorry Tamiya, was expecting more.
For that money you can get a maverick strada rtr and I doubt it's crappier. |
Rmart were the first to have them in stock late last week......they are all sold out already!!! WOW must be the quickest sale of ten kits ever!!!
|
What would be the best chassis for under $200? I've come across TB02/TB03 but doesn't seem to be many hop ups for them. Sakura D3 CS sounds good has oil shocks etc
|
Looking at the new bearing set for the TT02, it seems they have now changed the axle bearings to that of the more common 1050 as used on all other on-road platforms.
The drive train still uses the old TT01 bearing sizes, 1280 for the diffs and 1150 for the drive shaft. |
I have one on order so will post my thoughts when it arrives :)

BoomBap I'd stay away from RCTech when it comes to drifting. Check out Driftmission or CSJunkies for drift info. To this day RCTech still doesn't have a formal section for RC drift. |
yea i got one of the first run TT02's from RCmart and just got the bearing set for the TT02 i threw it all together and with the 8.5tune burshless its fun but i know the car its self is gonna die soon lol but looks like i gotta look out for a new driveshaft
|
Looking at the Gear G-parts the bevel gears and cross joint is now carbon reinforced plastic and they have adopted the same configuration as the current high end gear diffs with 2 bigger outer gears and 4 small ones in the center.
The gear diff housings themselves look to be the same as the old cream coloured plastic ones as found on the TT01. Tamiya actually started to use the carbon reinforced diff housings on the last few outgoing TT01 kits and have dropped the cream ones altogether and only supply the carbon ones which use the same part number. So if you order a gear housing as a spare part and it comes cream then it is old stock! With this in mind the old style metal bevel gears will fit and may be more durable, especially when running a low wind brushless system. I can only assume that the plastic gears will be a little smoother and quieter.... |
Have you painted the Ferrari body yet Zaku808? Post a pic if you did, really want to see how tamiya handled the details on it. Looks great on the few pics I could find but they're all the same red one. Even though I still have three unpainted bodies I'm definitely picking one up when it's available on its own. :smile:

Mine arrived yesterday.. initial impressions is that there are lots of little tweaks that really have pushed this car way ahead of the TT01, looking forward to the build..
The body sure looks good as well :) |
Just finished building my tt-02 and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Now mind you I have never heard of a single problem with tamiya kits but the fit and finish of this car is superb. Ran it on the stock 22 tooth spur and it was mildly fast no more then 25-30 kph avg. can't complain for a silver can. Quickly got bored and switched to a 9.5 turn thunderpower z3r run off of a duratrax de10 and a racers edge 6000mah 70c lipo.. Wow... I mean stock gearing 50-60 kph top speed and extreme acceleration that top speed was hit instantly. Now I have only run 2 pack through drifting around and what not so don't know how it will stand the test of time but it seems to handle the brushless power pretty well. If you are a bit hesitant on the 9.5 then 13.5 would work great and you can still gear up. Driving hard I got no significant increase in temp on the motor or esc. 8/10 for me price is a bit steep but eh it's tamiya so I am willing to fork up the extra cash

Hi Guys
I have done a build and Review of the TT02 on my Blog (Warning lots of pics) http://www.thercracer.com/2013/05/ta...nd-review.html Its much much improved over the TT01 and really is a great onroad chassis for a wide range of different onroad enthusiasts Tomorrow I will be racing it at my club.. wish me luck! |
