Check your left rear damper, ensure that the piston slides without binding. Drain the oil if you have to. Try switching the rear dampers and see if the oversteering transfers to the left side.
Also, the servo horn and the servo link must be at 90deg to each other otherwise you will have uneven throw. It can be corrected at the radio but I prefer correcting the problem at the root

I will look into replacing my dampers with oil filled ones.

Quick question for you guys.
What's the best way to "widen" a stock TT-02? In my son's kit, I noticed there was a pair of extra wide plastic wheel hexes. Do you need different stub axles to make those work? When I install them, there is not enough thread to bolt on a wheel.
Thanks!

I like my Type S so much I wanted to convert my other TT02, but figured it was easier just to buy another kit at $99.

List of parts is here ( https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/rc...3#.VVazylVVhBc ) You probably need almost all of it except the lower deck, G, D, B and A parts trees.

A conversion might be cost effective if one had a TRF417 with a broken chassis or something like that. I just think the cost of all the suspension pieces would add up. You need the little spacers, the correct screws, C-hubs, bearings, drive shafts, suspension pins, all the little bits to shim the suspension arms, all the balls for the shocks and more shims, the shocks themselves (somewhat hard to find short ones), balls for the upper arms, the upper arm turnbuckles and cups, F & R shock stays.
I really like my S-type. In terms of balance, it works out better side-to-side than my TB04 Pro.

I am looking forward to having this kit.

I got my Type-S from RC Mart for $99. It is still listed at that price but it reads "Out of Stock."

It is not complete though. I'm definitely buying that drift S-type when it reaches the LHS.

Just to continue with conversion discussions. Those of you with Type-S know this but those that don't have the car, you can see the 'special' pieces needed for the conversion. There are not that many as seen in this picture. The complexity is that you then need the complete suspension and drives from a 417, 418, 419, TB04 Pro or similar.
