My club, along with a few others in the area, are trying to start a TTGT class using the base TT-01 and TT-02 chassis. No SS or R models, just the base versions. We've set rules as follows;

PROPOSED Rules for TTGT (Spec class)

CHASSIS: stock TT01 / TT01E or base TT02 / TT02SE ( B/D/T/S/R/RR variants NOT permitted)
ESC: "Box stock" Tamyia ESC as delivered in the OEM box
TIRES: Gravity Racing USGT tires on styled spoked rims
SERVO: Open (servo saver may be added)
BODY: Scale Tamyia Sports car bodies only, no TC, Prototype or Stock Sedan style bodies
WINGS: Molded plastic and only what came in the kit - no non-OEM wings may be added
MOTOR: Tamyia brushed Silver can 540 Torque Tuned motor ( for the initial run this season for the class whatever motor that came in the kit may be run )
BATTERY: Lipo 2 cell, 8000 mah Max

Only Allowed Modifications
  • Hex screws may be used in place of the OEM Tamyia screws
  • Nylon bushings maybe replaced with ball bearings
  • battery connectors may be swapped for Deans or other type connection
  • Round Lipo batteries are preferred However - Chassis ribs may be removed to allow a standard rectangular Lipo batteries to be used ( will allow racers to use batteries they may already have keeping costs down)
That's great! Some us can remember when the Slash first came out and all the fun we had in the Slash stock class, When everyone had to go faster, handle better, etc., it disappeared in our area. I hope you have great success and others will copy it.
