Most 21.5T motors I looked at are listed at around 1700 - 2100kv which is why I went with the 1800kv for him for now. What is the stock motor like that comes with the kit?
Apart from wheel bearing kit, is there anything else I should consider to get?

Depends how old your son is but yes with stock gearing that could be slow and he could outgrow it quick.. Still quicker than a silver can
21.5t is a common class where I race locally but obviously geared with a big pinion which I'm quite sure you're quite limited with the tt02 unless you get a sliding motor mount...

Thercracer.com touches on this

the tt02 I got 3 years ago came with a silver can (27t motor)

Novice touring car run this. Probably good for a child 10 years older or less but as noted they'll outgrow it once they get comfortable

He is 7. Was going to get him that for now and look at a 21.5T down the track.

Does anyone know if the Subaru 1999 WRX body comes with pre-drilled holes?

If it's a Tamiya body none are pre drilled. Should get a body reamer, if you enjoy the hobby a lot, the reamer will serve you for many bodies...

Was going to use the body on a different chassis. Just wanted to make sure they didn't come pre-drilled to suit that chassis. Sure Ive seen some Tamiya bodies that have already been pre-drilled.

The older bodies did come pre drilled. If it's the Impreza body that was just re-released, it likely isn't pre drilled.

Looks great. Killerbody?

Yes.. Good quality bodies.. Really close to Tamiya's quality.

I'm new here, here's my build.

Just getting back into it after a few year hiatus. Bought a Tamiya TT02 and did a mild build to get my feet wet again.

Tamiya TT02 911 RSR Kit
Amazon off brand 9t Brushless / brushless ESC
Older Futaba radio system

Body :
Pactra Purple Crush Pearl
Pactra Indy Silver

Wheels :

Barrel - Testors matte silver aerosol
Face - Rustoleum for plastic gloss black, rustoleum Colorshift galaxy blue pearl.

For some reason the pearl leeched the color off the black and turned them into a grey pearl. I'll take it.

Cool. I am trying to talk the guys at my track into letting me run their Giulia in VTA.

That would be the best looking body in VTA hands down. Im only slightly biased given my avatar and the fact that I own a 69 Giulia GTV

I have the Killerbody Giulia NIB, just have not gotten around to painting it up. I usually run the M chassis Giulia on my M06 Pro

This one is RIP



I haven't had the heart to run this one yet

The Porsche looks great but the 9T motor will be overkill for those tires.
Did you use inserts for these tires?
Try to mount a set of oil filled dampers, along with some inserts for the tires it will improve the cars handling a lot.
To enjoy the maximum of this car, the best motor choice for this type of chassis would be a 17.5T in blinky mode.
That should give you enough speed and fun to enjoy the car at the most.

That's just my opinion

Below you'll find a great website to get lots of information about the TT-02.

that is a nice looking porsche.

..hey, that number 8 on the hood ...is that from the HPI porsche kit? (I had several cup racers and remember that 8 decal coming w/ the kits). ...or maybe the tamiya one comes w/ the same decal??
