You can use any make / pitch as long as it has the cross fitting holes. (Most cars have these other than X-rays)

Will test these rally tyres soon.

Kyosho rallies and speed mind rallies soft compound.

Okay thanks. Then I guess the real question is can a silver can handle it on the TA track. I'm running temps of about 160-170 after an 8 minute run geared at 5.74. I'm hoping I can pull off something in the 4's.

You can only try

Although with those temps I would look at getting a metal motor mount, the plastic could warp. Look for the Yeah racing TT02 adjustable one

Qatmix not sure if you've mentioned it earlier but are you running any ball diffs in your tt02? Maybe its even overkill for the starting price of this chassis... im wondering if there's much gain - but then maybe also depends for off/on road racing?

My lancia built in late man this year. My first ever hobby grade rc.

Took the rear spoiler off as it got in the way from cartwheels off jumps

I have made an article on how to get the FDR's needed to run Blinky / VTA with a TT02

TT02 Blinky


As to a Ball diff I have not used one in my car, I am considering fitting one to test in my car but it runs well without.. (Maybe one day someone will make a proper oil gear diff for the TT02)

Tt02 thread seems prett quiet lately... Have we moved on from it?

So finally got a bit more testing...

Speedmind pin type soft compound as attached seemed to have a tad more traction than the rally blocks on a hard packed dusty off road track. Haven't tested the kyoshos but the rims come really close to the suspension, nearly touching.

I was wondering if any TT02 runners hve any TT01s in their fleets ? If so does any one know if the high speed spur gear adapter for the TT02 http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=54500 fits the TT01 ? I was then wondering if the Yeah Racing adjustable motor mount http://www.thercracer.com/2013/09/ye...tor-mount.html would also work on a TT01 ? Any advise would be appreciated.

TOO LATE, I just ordered the TT02 high sped gearset. I'll see if it works myself on the TT01 or can be modded to do so !



before install of TT02 spur gear adapter into TT01 w/ standard tub chassis





and after installation and changing over to CF chassis





Its remarkable, the TT02 spur gear adapter is a perfect fit for the TT01, I wonder, how close these two chassis are in other aspects ?

Hi,

Just wanted to show you my TT-02.

It has a 3280kv 13.5t Team Orion brushless, 25/68t running on NiMH 5000 mAh and Lipo 2s 4200 mAh. This combination is perfect for both Rally and bashing on a local parking aera.

It has alot of tamiya hop-ups. But it could't help completely fixing the steering slop.

I am very happy with it but can't compare as it's my first car.

I'd like to post pictures but I first have to get a certain amount of posts....do you know how much?

Hi Cap,

Looking forward to seeing pictures - You need about 10 posts first.

I've found the eagle racing alloy steering set with bearings, available from Broadtech, to improve steering significantly.
It's almost identical (only differs by steering arm length) to the one pictured on my TT02B in the off-road section.

Cheers,
Crouch

is the issue that it doesn't run straight on full throttle?

im new to this as well but one interesting thing I found was using rally blocks vs on road tires is that the difference in trim was +6 points. I assume only that the blocks are a tad wider hence the need for extra trim...

Have you also added shims? I've added them as well to the front wheels which reduces play...

A little bit of steering slop is fine, I have a lot of cars and they all have some slop (even the top end cars) My TT02 has the aluminium arms and I shimmed it a little and I have very little slop now, its precise and sharp on the track.

Okay thank you for the informations.

I bought the Carson steering set... but it was crap so I put back the stock one but with the Tamiya 54550 Low Friction Screws. Fixed a little play.

Then I noticed play on every tire. Basically, there is play between the shafts and the rear and front uprights. So I bought aluminum front and rear upright, but it still didn't fixed the problem...

So I bought nylon shims to put between the outer shaft bearing and the small metal "stick" that holds the bearings in place... Breaks my tire so that the car won't drive anymore... Put a lot of grease and now it's okay.

3 more posts and I will be able to show you nice pics of my yellow Lancia and every piece that has slop or play.

Thanks a lot guys. One day I'll fix this with your help.

You can shim the axle movement with Tamiya shims you need Tamiya 53586 4mm Shim Set. You only need a few between the axle pin and the bearing. You can also put them on the inside of the axle at the base of the axle going into the inside bearing. you still want a little movement to ensure they spin freely.

Thank you very much for the Tamiya shims Reference, I'll order them right now. As I told before, I put 9mm Nylon shims between the axle pin and the bearing but they really break each wheel.

Do you guys feel like there is play between the shafts and the front and rear uprights? I mean that the axle are slightly to thin for the bearings?

A few more posts and I'll show you with pictures and co.
