Another quick question though, Do the HPI bodyshells fit this? For example, the mclaren body shell? The car looks very adjustable, but do I use 190mm or 200mm shells, or can I use both?
Cheers!
The TT-02 chassis is a narrow chassis, even the width between the wheels is rather narrow. You can use 200mm body's but that really doesn't look great cause the wheel arches won't be filled correctly with the wheels cause the body is to wide for this narrow chassis.
Therefor i would recommend to use only 190mm body's in combination with wheels that have an offset of about 2mm (also depending on the width of the body)
And if the wheel arches of the body still aren't filled correctly then you can always use some wheel spacers of 0.5 or 1mm, but do not use more then 1mm.
You also need some shim plates of 5mm for shimming the wheel outdrive axles, otherwise you will have to much play (shimming is done between the outer ball bearing and the pin that goes through the wheel axle).
I used 0.5mm of shims on all 4 wheel axles to have less play.
Also an imortand upgrade is to use the high speed gear set (54500) to be able to use smaller spurs/bigger pinions to increase the FDR.
Hope this helps
