the Tamiya aluminum driveshaft for the TT-02 sits just fine, you just have to put a black o ring on both sides of the driveshaft cup

Yeah tried that but it still didn't feel as nice-a fit as the eagle racing one which has ends shaped more like the stock part.

Hi guys,

New to this so sorry if this has been posted before. Not sure what type of rc I'd like to get in to so bought myself a TT02. I was just wondering if I could convert it to a TT02B? The tub and set up looks the same just a different suspension system. If I bought the parts could I just swap them over?

It is possible to convert an onroad TT-02 to an offroad version but i guess it will cost you as much as a new TT-02B kit.
You'l need new suspensoin arms, damperstays, body, wheels, tires etc.
Your better of to buy a new TT-02B kit and you will also have a motor and ESC included.

Second what Blue said, I've got both and yes it would be possible as the tub and drivetrain are the same, but by the time you purchase all the parts needed you'll be close to the price of a new buggy kit.

About the only way it could work out cheaper is if you intend to hop it up with alloy bits and pieces - I did assemble a TT02 from spares and upgrades but it's less complicated than the B versions.

Good luck,
Crouch

Ok. I'll just go out and buy a complete kit then. Thanks for the advice.
On another note, has anyone fitted the yeah racing conversion kit and is it worth it? Also would a TT01 upper deck fit the TT02?

built my TT-02 as per Quatmix and Addicted to Blue's set up.(and also Crouch, tnx for the guides and tips) Also gonna be trying this on 17.5.

Hey Jim,

The yeah racing full kit has some nice pieces and if you have the cash it could be a good option.
Personally i think it's a bit of overkill for the TT - you'll end up spending as much on the upgrades as you have on the kit. You could probably just buy a better kit.

Depending what you want to use it for I'd upgrade slowly and specifically for what you want to use it for.

But whatever makes you happy!

No, the Tt01 upper deck is just a tad too short to fit. Maybe with some mods...

Cheers,

Looking good, but it's better to use the kit supplied wheel hexes (the ones that look like a brake disc).
It will widen the car by a few mm's wich will give the car a more stable handling and the wheel arches will be filled better.
I even cut the brake disc from the hex and you will also save some weight/rotational weight.
I've done 2 hexes in only 10minutes of cutting and sanding.

Im using the tamiya 6mm wheel hex which is the thickest I can have, And I can shim them to exact tolerance.

The standard hexes with the disc brakes are 7mm.
I'm using them with a 1mm wheel spacer (wich is the absolute maximum to use, otherwise the thread on the wheel axle is to short) to get the maximum width out of the car.
Also make sure you add some shims between the ball bearing and the pin that goes through the wheel axle, i thought i added up to 0.7mm shims between it and still have enough play to rotate the wheels as free as possible.

3 racing have a set of 7mm clamp type wheel hex's that are lightweight. I use these with 1 .5mm spacers on the front and 1mm spacers on the rear.

Thanks for the advice camocrouch. I've decided to go for RC drifting. I only have the basic TT02 so what would I need to convert it to a drifter? Sorry if this has already been mentioned. It's a long thread!

Also, how short is the TT01 upper deck? I work in the composite industry so if I had the sizes I should be able to make one.

Cheers

Has anyone tried and been successful in fitting the following to a TT-02?
• TB03 C Parts (Front Upright) # 51352
• TA05-IFS F Parts - H Carrier # 51293
• TA05-IFS D Parts Reversible Suspension Arms (Long) # 51297
or would we need to wait until the following new parts are available?
# 9804837 Sus Shaft Adapter
# 9804838 Sus Shaft Adapter
# 3450618 Front Sus Plate
# 3450619 Rear Sus Plate
# 4305646 Front Damper Stay
# 4305647 Rear Damper Stay

maybe you should wait for the TT-02S...
