Ends up being a bit less expensive and an overall good package.
I'm trying to walk the thin line of being close to TCS compliant if I want to run a TCS class however local TT-02 classes are a little looser and some live by the "if the upgrade is Tamiya then it is legal" and others claim "box stock" but that is so vague when you can buy a TT-02R or RR type kit......assuming everyone could technically upgrade to everything they can to match a RR and then is it really "box stock" or is it "all upgrades up to an including what comes in the top kit available".......
Meh, whatever, TT-02 racing is fun local bashing or quasi-wannabe roadie racing. Usually once someone gets a TT platform to really run well, they want to or are ready to move to a more sophisticated class if available.
I just want to get mine to do what I want it to 85% of the time lol
