I replaced the stock servo saver and thought that would cure the car's tendency to not go straight.
But, I had the car out yesterday in the driveway testing it for my son and it still veers off course unexpectedly.
The problem is I want to KEEP the nylon and plastic parts! Maybe I'm asking for the impossible. I'll update if I can find some solutions. Maybe ball bearings that are really sealed from water. Or what about ceramic? Are they waterproof?
Hi,
I had the same problem on my Lancia Delta TT-02. Fixed it doing the following:
1) Reduce steering servo course. (from 100% to 66% in my case)
2) Put a 3mm piece of well greased sillicone hose between the dog bone and the shaft of each wheel to reduce slop.
3) Enjoy !
I'm not allowed to put URLs cause I'm new here, otherwise I would have shown you pics of my TT-02 Lancia Delta tweaks.
Tamiya's TT-02 is a great car. I mounted a Brushless Neon Combo 17T on it which gives me a lot of fun on and off-road (I bought two sets of tires, one for each surface)
I'm planning to buy the HPI BMW 2002 shell. Will it fit the TT-02? Any adjustments needed? Special Rims? How much offset?
Thx in advance.
