The rest is all a hair dryer, windex and a sh*t ton of decals supplied with the kit.
what? Is there a decal technique I am unaware of...? Do tell!

the decals look really nice, good work.

The windex just helps you have a little lee-way when you position, the hair dryer REALLY helps. It softens the decal and allows it to make pretty good bends.

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.
I thought all the TT02 kits used the same basic chassis parts, -Specifically are the suspension mounts different? I looked online at both the TT02s and TT02D type s manuals, both appear the same?

Your looking some kind of protection for the chassis area?
what about using a pair of black nylons ...just cut both ends and wrap around the chassis.

Well, I was thinking about something rigid like a plastic cover because my esc has a fan and I'm afraid a fabric could damage it or get sucked in.

Since the weather will be hotter (here in Southern Italy temperature is 30-35°C), I'm thinking about installing a motor heatsink. I check motor temperature every 5 mins with an IR thermometer and I read about 40-50°C. Do you think I'll need an heatsink? Is it normal that it is hotter near the pinion?

if you are driving it in the street your ESC fan shouldn't need extra protection

In my tt02 I ran a 9t motor geared around with a 22 pinion. If you're concerned put on a heatsink + fan for it. You can get many from Rcmart. When I took my TT02 for rally on an off road track from memory it stayed around 60c with air temp in the low 20s within a 10 minute run.

I've never had issues with the ESC fan get caught with debris etc. Only had a fan die on me probably from shock when I ran indoor 4wd mod buggy... (the buggy hit the wall many times)

okay, so this isn't complete, ...yet wanted to get a few photos up of my work in progress TT02.

I plan to put side mirrors on, an exhaust and a driver figure.

stay tuned.

The TT02D Type S and TT02 Type S have identical suspensions, look at the regular TT02 and TT02D manuals and you'll see they're much simpler than the Type S variants.

Ah, I will have to check out the manual for the stock TT02 and TT02D to understand the difference, -thanks for pointing that out.

Hey all. Wondering if someone can answer 2 question for me:

1. Can the smaller Mini Chassis rims/wheels fit on the TT02 or 01 chassis?

2. What is the narrowest you can get the chassis - outer edge of wheel to outer edge of wheel?

Thanks for your help

Sorry my post had a typo, the regular TypeS and D TypeS are the same suspension but they as a pair are a different suspension to the basic TT02 and TT02D (those 2 are also the same as each other). The central chassis, steering and transmission are common to all.

Ciao Manlito, quest'è per te!

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa for USGT class. I attempted to do an Italian flag / stripe down the length of the body... as always, that nasty paint got under the masking tape.

Looking at getting a TT02 for my son. I have a 1800kv brushless motor sitting in the shed im considering putting into it. Anyone recommend a gearing combo that will work with that motor?

1800KV is very slow for a touring car. I'd try the stock gearing and see what the speed actually is before attempting to guess how much higher to go.
