Make sure to set the gearing to TCS spec and add a fan blowing into the commutator hole and the motor can. You might need to buy pinions and spurs to get to the gearing. Do not add aluminum motor heat sink as they do nothing but trap heat. Will see you on saturday.

Fantastic!

Looks very nice

Finished my body in the meantime, decided to do a simple design.
I painted the Rims with Revell color, black and aluminium.

Also painted the brake disc with Revell color aluminium.
I think it looks quite nice
A picture of my TT02 is also attached.

Just to clear the air -

Banazi Hobby Cart both based in Japan have Japanese market kits/rtr's. The kits do not come with a ESC, but the RTR's do, obviously it wouldn't be an RTR now would it without one?

RCMart carries what I am going to assume is NA/EU market kits and do include a ESC.

Have fun, I need to get some stuff done around here because I have no actual workspace and need to not create some but just get rid of stuff or put it in its proper place.

Clean build Stefan!
Like it a lot.
Also nice electronics installation!
Will you use it for Racing?

Br,

Thanks Matthias


Maybe, I don't know yet. I bought it because of the body in first place
But there's a series called 'Youngtimer-Trophy' with very simple rules:
- Body of the original must be manufactured between 1966 and 1988
- No additional parts on the body except the ones included in the body kit
- Tires to use are the ones delivered with the kit or the HPI Vintage tires, but no disk rims
- Scale look preferred, so no airbrusehd flames or something like that
- Motor to use is the Carson Cup Machine
(all for the TT-class, M-Chassis-Class has slightly different rules)

I like that series a lot because of its simplicity... maybe I'll give it a try

I have a question about my TT02 build. I just finished and noticed a slight problem and I'm not sure what I did wrong.










My problem is that my rear wheels don't stick out far enough it seems. I followed the Standard kit instructions and the body came with the kit so I'm not sure why its not flush? The front is better but the rear seems really pushed in. Now, there is an option to make a wide build but I didn't do that becuase it doesn't come with that piece C6 for the front wheels. It DOES come with piece A13 which is wider rear wheel hub. Why does it come with the piece for the rear but not the front?

Should I just install the wider A13 hubs to the rear? The Standard instructions say to install the A14 hubs but you can see how far in the wheels are.

Any advice?

Here is what its supposed to look like:

Yes, you just need to fit them for the rear, the wheels are correct for the front as they are.

The instructions at the start tell you to check wheelbase and width so you can spot this when building.

The Capri shell is fantastic!

Just build a TT02 with my young son last night. Since his Traxxas vehicles are waterproof, we wanted to try and make this one waterproof as well, just for fun. We built it with a Traxxas waterproof servo and installed a Traxxas waterproof radio box in place of the kit's radio box. Still have the kits ESC, but will eventually get the Traxxas XL-5. This is one build where we actually wanted to use all the nylon bearings!

Just use a13 and widen the rear. Front looks okay. However, wider rear makes for a aggressive rear end

Here's my TT02. Running a Speed Passion GT2.0 LPF Bluestar, Speed Passion V3 MMM 13.5t, DX3R pro and a Savox 1251mg. Also, there are no stickers on the shell. It's all paint.

Looks great

That was a lot of decals!

I still need to widen the wheelbase. This is gonna be super fun on the Tamiya track.

Okay so I have a problem.



Earlier I thought A13 was for the rear and C6 was for the front but thats not the case. They are both used together for the rear to get wider tread which is what I need to make the wheels sit flush. The problem is my kit did not come with part C6 and according to a comment some dude posted on that TT02 blog, his didn't come with it either for the Capri. Our kits just came with the shorter axle. This seems like an error or something on Tamiya's part. Should I contact them or am I still doing something wrong?

It looks like the rear wheels are built like the front. The barrels ( Outer sliver parts ) need to be flipped around for more offset. As you can see in the Tamiya promo photo the rear wheels have a lot more dish than the front.
