Just started racing this summer in the novice class. Chassis of choice is the TT-02 Type S, with the NSX body. I started out using NiMH and a brushed motor and have been finishing 3rd. The top two are running brushless systems.

Last race of the summer is coming up this weekend and I've upgraded to brushless myself. We'll see what the results are.

Here's my equipment:
Reedy Sonic 540-M3 25.5 ROAR Spec motor
Hobbywing XeRun XR10 Justock ESC
Gens ace 500 mAh 50c 2S1P battery
Radio is the Futaba 3PRKA (hope to upgrade to the 4PX or 7PX this fall)

Upgrades/Hop-Ups:
TRF Special Damper with the hard black coating
Aluminum propeller joint and shafts
TT-01 Aluminum Bumper Stopper
FRP Battery Plate & Transponder Stay Set
Aluminum Motor Plate
Aluminum Motor Mount (upgrading to the Yeah Racing adjustable motor mount)
Left and right aluminum servo stays
XV-01 Universal Shaft Assembly
Aluminum Racing Steering Set and Steering Bridge
Front and Rear Carbon Damper Stays
Steel Suspension Mount Set
Front and Rear Steel Rebound Stoppers
Carbon Reinforced Hub Carriers (have held up pretty well so far)
TB Evo IV Suspension Arms
Carbon Reinforced Rear Uprights
TRF416 Front Uprights

Going to run a 64p 49T pinion with a 64p 82 spur.

I have really enjoyed tinkering with this chassis and it's been a lot of fun to drive. I personally feel this has been great for a beginning and with the hop-ups that are available it has allowed me to gradually improve my driving by slowing adding the hop-ups.
