Mine has the steel front & rear joint cups, steel CVD's, alloy ball bearing steering, alloy main shaft joints, alloy front and rear upper adjustable arm sets, adjustable motor mount, solid axle diff insert, front upper bumper plate, a set of threaded blue shocks, and a set of 3 degree rear hub carriers. I did use the blue Tamiya center shaft and the Tamiya High Speed Gear adapter, plus a set of VBC Racing clamping wheel hexes. I also had a spur gear cover 3D printed so that I can use larger pinion gears needed when running brushless motors. I topped it off with a McCallister Mustang GT body and have a set of Gravity RC USGT tires mounted.
With all local R/C racing cancelled due to the pandemic, she sits on a shelf waiting for better days ahead. Seems silly I admit but I am weak.

I had enough spares to make a basic TT02 for display purposes. It has now evolved into a house guest TT02 for my sons best friend. Pretty soon it will have some blue crack
