The reinforced parts that are included in the TT-02D kit are grey the standard parts are plain black like the rest of he chassis parts.

-Thanks!

I also bought an IR thermometer to check motor temperature. Can you tell me what temperature it must not exceed?
You should check w/ your particular motor, but in general I don't like my motors to exceed about 170 tops. 155-165 is preferred. Be sure to take the reading after about 5mins of run time.

Hey, what is up w/ your tires!! You need new ones really bad..

Thank you very much! I took the picture of the chassis about 10 days ago, when I installed new combo and hopups and I was waiting for new tires and wheels to be shipped. You can see they're not the same in the pictures. New wheels came with foam inserts so I hope now all the tread will wear and not only the inner part.

For a cover would it be possible to adapt a off road body to fit with valcro. T
The shumacher shot gun used a similar arangement

Do you think the Neo Scorcher body should be ok?

Nope, my kit didn't come w/ the hardened parts (lighter grey color).
I ordered the TT-02D type S kit. ...it came w/ a lot of goodies, but not the hardened parts.

So, I am going to order that part, ...going to hunt it down. (I hate the large bumper piece sticking off the back).

It will not fit on the type-S as you have a different arm mount holding the suspension pins.

oh, that is a bummer ...

Do you know if something like this would work:

worst case I just take the dremel to the current plastic part that hangs off the back ...yet was looking for a cleaner solution.

Eric - thanks for the links to these wheels and tires. Love the look of the 6mm offset under this body!

Sure thing,
-I was hesitant at first ...but they seem to be as good quality as name brand wheels i've purchased. I actually went ahead and bought more in other styles. For the rubber I am sticking w/ some brands that I am familiar w/ and are true and tested (hpi and assosciated treaded ones).

Your body looks fantastic!
I may have to pick one of those Tamiya kit bodies up.
Still working on my TT02 build and body ...soooooon. (also prepping for my next race on the weekend). -hence why i haven't had much time on this build as I'd like.

Steve_pss, ...did you paint that body? If so I like how you did the red and black.

After spending many (many) hours putting all the decals on (the hood itself is like 20 decals) I wish I had painted it. The black is actually a dark grey metallic (shows up nice in the sun). Splitter and other parts are straight black. The rest is all a hair dryer, windex and a sh*t ton of decals supplied with the kit.
