Thanks@ Qatmix. any suggetion for BL motor rating with 3S?

I do not think the kit esc would work with a 3cell lipo. The kit esc is supposed to go down to 10.5 sensored motors on 2 cell lipo. If doing that I would suggest adding a fan to the kit esc as some people have blown them with a 10.5 whilst others have been fine.

A 10.5 with 2 cell lipo and low gearing will still get you some good speed. Other than bearings, alloy prop / prop cups, high speed gear set etc there is not much needed to handle the speed. I like the adjustable motor mount from yeah racing, but the Tamiya alloy one is also fine if you do not want to mess around with custom gear options.

Steel internals for the diffs are not needed for onroad, they just add weight. I run a TRF and that has plastic internals and I have never had an issue with them on my tt02's and top end tc's

sir could u please guide me in the direction of tierods for my tt-02...or will the tt-01 tierods if so I can order a set as soon as you confirm thanks in advance

If you mean turnbuckle tie rods for the steering (to adjust toe-in / toe-out), then yes, the TT-01 part # 53662 will fit the TT-02

Ty sir its appreciated an they've been ordered

I picked up 2 kimborough servo savers this evening for our tt-02 kits part number is #114 25 spline for the futabas will these savers work or do we need the bigger ones.. I read somewhere Ned the medium ones but was told that the medium may be to tall so we got the small size I wanna verify this before I open the package.. An help is appreciated

I am sure this has already been covered on here, but I don't have time to look at the moment. What is the wheel size and type that can be used on the TT02?

I am about to buy one for a local club race thing we have going on here local, but want to build my own variant based off a 1960's 70's style nascar.
The first body I am going to go with is the Parma 61 Impala
It would be awesome if I could find some "steel wheels" like they actually used back in the day. Anyone know of anything close?

You could look at the hpi vintage wheels. They make them in 26mm and 31mm widths.

Thanks a lot! Those are near perfect for what I am shooting for

The HPI Vintage wheels are designed to be used with the HPI Vintage tires. If your local class has a spec touring car tire, they most likely won't be able to be mounted on the HPI Vintage wheels.

HPI does make a 26mm "stock car" wheel in black that is designed for standard touring car tires. The part number is 3741. Here is a link on Tower (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNV38&P=7)

You pose a good point. I will have to consider this and ask them what the rule is on tires before I choose something.

I was looking through the Tamiya Championship Series rules and I don't see a class where this variation of the car could be competitive. I was thinking GT Pro spec, but the type s is not allowed there. Can anyone think of a TCS class where this car could be geared/motored competitively?

Tires must be a tamiya kit tire rather it be a slick radial Hal slick half radial an must be 26mm

Tires are not the problem. It is more of an issue of getting the gear ratio down into the 3.5 to 4.0 FDR for a brushless setup without using non-Tamiya parts which is not allowed according to TCS rules. Of course you can run a silver can 540J in the gt3 class and gearing won't be an issue, but you will need to run against others chassis with 21.5 brushless motors. There is no way a 540J motor is anywhere near the speed of a 21.5, a 25.5 maybe, but not a 21.5.

I managed a FDR of 4.35 without any mods. Assuming you do not have to use Tamiya Spur gears you can do this.
