The tub chassis, sealed (relatively well) shaft drive systems and enclosed spur/pinion makes for a great parking lot basher and with the addition of a few inexpensive upgrades these cars make decent club racers. Tamiya bodies are some of the best detailed out there and the included decal sheets make it easy to have a sharp looking car. Add on some LED lights and they are cooler still.

The TA-08 is nice, and is likely a better handling chassis, but it is still a plastic tub chassis kit that costs more than three times the price of a TT-02 and doesn't include the body, tires, motor, ESC or anything else for that matter.
