It is now summer and the days are longer, which means Fun in the Sun with Tamiya! This past weekend, we did 4 races of mostly TT-02s, but there were other chassis also in the mix (including an M-07R). Since this is a casual organized meet (1-2x / month), as long as the speed is comparable to the spec'ed TT-02s (Torque Tuned Motor, similar FDRs depending on the spur/pinion combo that is allowed in the ruleset), then really any chassis can be run. Any upgrades from any manufacturer are allowed.

The track was drawn out using chalk and there are some markers/bumps/circle dots to outline the corners. We use the EZ Lap timing system that plugs into the receiver and outdoor tires of course. Racing was intense with a lot of back and forth. To me, with all the door to door banging and close battles, this is what racing TT-02s is all about!

I hope you can see how much fun it is and if you are not already doing so, get a group of friends to do some outdoor RC driving and racing...

(Apologies if anime music is not your thing)

Lastly, I was stoked to see another 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG join in Race 3!
