- high speed gear set with 64 t spur and 29 t pinion for decent speed
- oil shocks (Tamiya CVA or Yeah racing 55mm) for better control
- maybe the blue aluminum center drive shaft (just because it looks cool)
- a radio set with adjustable End points for steering is useful to go easy on servo and servo saver. Tt-02 does not need much servo movement for max. Steering angle. If you don't limit servo movement, you can kill either servo or saver.
- no need to go for the fastest and strongest Servo.
Someting with 0.1-0.15 sec / 60deg and about 5-10 kg torque is more than sufficient.
Doing so, costs are limited and fun/ durability accordingly maximized 😁
Thanks buddy.
I've got a Radient RS-HT201 6.5kg servo which does quite well, and have adjusted the end points on my radio too, to prevent damage to it
So I'm going to look into buying a new motor, high speed gear set and oil shocks.
It definitely needs to be faster, the torque tuned Tamiya motor just lacks some punch.
