Holy heck, he can use that battering ram to break through the EURO TRUCK clogs... I think he might be a little heavy up front!

The 4x4 was removed after the glue cured...I thought that was obvious

: Good luck at CORP this weekend! The 4x4 in the truck might be a bit more obvious on the carpet!

It's not universally accepted to be a better car than the TT01E. The TT01E has a better reputation for durability, and the proposed solution of buying a TT02 then getting the truck body separately is also considerably more expensive, defeating both the affordability and durability objectives.

I won't be able to race this one. But I should be there out later in the afternoon to hand off an iPad to Joe. Have fun, Pit! Get that thing broken in! I tell you, I never laughed so hard on the stand. They actually drive a lot better than I expected.

Good information! Thank you.

I put the Man TGS TT01E kit on my Christmas list. We'll see what happens.

Body mounting--- Myself and at least one other at our club have had "issues" keeping the cab attached to the lower body.... after a few "incidents" the supplied foam tape gives out. Have tried a few things haven't found the perfect solution yet I don't think....

Looking to see what others are using and if they have had this issue....

You know who you are..... no comments on the "incidents" LOL.....

After my fourth race day (What's your truck? I'm Greg, I run the box blue colors..) my cab finally gave up.

Amusingly, most of the people running the euro trucks are experienced racers, and seem to have no problem whatsoever keeping their trucks intact.

I however... am a different story. For the race last sunday, I had stripped most of the white tape out and replaced it with black bolink servo tape. That, didn't seem to do as well. Tonights project, is going to be spreading a little e6000 in there, and through bolting the cab to the lower body. I plan on using six m3 nut and bolt sets, so that no individual screw will want to pull though. We'll see if that works on saturday.

I didn't have cab tape breakage issues until I put some weather stripping on my bumper, so I think that may relate to durabilty issues... eg: don't pad your bumper.
