Hi guys,
Got my TT-02 kit, read a bit of the manual, and will be building it during weekend, just wanna know your setups while building, in the manual there's a 'short' and 'wide' setup, and i'm just planning to go 'wide' and all 'standard' for the rest. Will it be ok or should i go 'standard' all around? And with the 'wide' setup, will the four wheels be too wide for the body shell and looks akward?
Also, is there anything i should know before the build?
I'm just new with this on road thing and this is gonna be my first build.
Thanks a lot for any help i can get.

The manual will tell you what to do to fit with your shell. If you want to use std shells do the standard setting
here is a build review which covers all the steps

Stage one shows where to look in the manual

My little girl drove the TT-02 a week ago in a junior race and she did break 2 steering blocks, luckely i was able to fix them but this is really a spare part you need to have.
They are indeed very weak.
I've also build an extra bridge at the front of the steering arms, this will reduce a lot of steering slob.

ahhh, experience this several times, even on light impact with other car. what i did before changing to alums is i added anti wear grease. So the twist and friction is quite draggy but smooth. added shims on the upper arms so the knuckles doenst wobble on turns. and tightly screwed the bottom part of the knuckle and a .2 or .3mm extra screw space on top.

I've mounted a Speedpassion V3 21.5T motor with a cirtix stock club esc, will test this combo thursday night at our club that will be re-opened after a summer stop of 6 weeks.
Very excited about driving the car on carpet, have high hopes.

I wonder if anything can be swapped onto the TT02?

Hi, I am looking to get back into the hobby after a long break. The last car I has was a TB01 would this be a good car? I am also looking at the TB04 but this is already available at my local hobby store. Also can you get a front one way for this car?

I thought the TT-01 front one-way option part (53671) is a direct fit for the tt-02 chassis.
