Cheers, yep I'm going for the 80/50 combo my current 80t is worn so I have a new one coming in the post

This car really needs a "motor plate" which allows free selection of motor position.....

I guess you mean something like this

Great! Already ordered.
Wondered who´ll be the first to manufacture this.
Some days ago there were nearly no tuning parts for TT02 at RC-mart...

Br and thanks for the info,

hi guys,

New to on-road, and it seems this will be my first touring car, just wanna ask about the durability of it, is it good enough for a newbie like me (you know crashes, lol)?
And also, aside from the bearings, what other upgrades will be more immediate? Shocks maybe? Are the stock plastic shocks good enough, are they oil shocks?
Any other advice that i should know?
Btw, will be using the stock motor at first.

Thanks a lot for any help i can get.

The only available upgrades from Tamiya from where you're from are bearings and the shocks (the stocks are friction not oil).

Thanks a lot for the heads up man, it's better they have less upgrade options, lol.

Here is a build and review I did,
http://www.thercracer.com/2013/05/ta...nd-review.html

but to answer your questions you only really need bearings to start off with. You can upgrade the shocks later the std friction shocks are fine for your first few races and they are indestructible

Thanks a ton for the advises and great review man, actually i read it last night and that's why i'm leaning to this TT-02(and of course it's also due to a good friend and off road buddy of mine having one and convinced me to this TT, you know who you are brother, hehe), so i won't mind the shocks now and just look for the bearings, don't like the high friction plastic bushings too, cheers

My car finally arrived yesterday and i'm building the car at this moment.
The car looks great and it's a big improvement if you want to do some maintenance on the gears.
This chassis was definately designed for buggy or rally purpose, this because of the limited gear ratio and i regrate that the body holes are pre drilled
I've allready installed some universals with lightweight swing shafts, used some titanium or blue alu screws. So far i saved +30Gr of weight

Today i had my first test drive with this chassis in my street and i noticed that the car was more stable over my TT-01R E-type allthough my TT-01E has a very good set-up.
Only option parts i used were light weight universals, some titanium and alu screws, alu turnbuckles and a set of TRF mini dampers.
The car feld stable and dialed with tamiya medium narrow radial tires.
I also put my TT-01E and my TT-02 with the same electronics on a weight scale and the TT-02 weights about 40grams less, what's always a good thing
The car is definately worth the money.

can you take a pic on the alu dampers from mini. ty

by the way, the plastic knuckles breaks easily. the second time i bought a knuckle parts =(

spurred and pinion used
70 27 - slow
68 - 27 - bit faster
64 - 29 - can compete but tt01 28 - 55 is faster
61 - 29 - loving it
58 - 29 - not sure yet.

Ill be buying yeah racing alum knucles and toe in rear. im having difficulty to lower down to 5mm ride height,
any tips there when using mini dampers? or maybe a picture. thanks in advance

here are some pictures of my car with TRF mini dampers

H. What are the part nos will I need to get for the 61-29? Tamiya stock parts? Do I need to replace front and rear gears? Thanks!

@addictedblue

Thanks mate, this is very helpful on fixing my TT02.
Any tips on installing the front arms and knuckles? i just broke 2 sets now because of the fragile build or plastic part of the TT02. this is the only concern i have on TT02 right now. it breaks easily. is it wiser to add anti wear grease on the moving plastic parts?

@primaveralaw

61T from tt01, then use a sand paper to remove the additional plastic until it fits well to the drive shaft knuckle.
