The towers are FRP. All you need are a set of TRF416, TB02, TA04 arms. They are all the same. Download the manual for the TT-02B MS and it shows all you need. You can also grab the tt02b ms hubs on the cheap

Should cost around 35 bucks with spacers and all.

Yes it is worth it. TT02 are a nice little budget chassis.

Thanks for the advice Metalsoft.

I've found the parts used by the TT02 Type S, I might go with them because then I can keep it GT Spec legal by using parts for the same platform. Having a blast with the car, this is my reintroduction to the hobby. The last kit I built before this was a TA02.....LOTS have changed!

Here is a short video to watch for you of the Tamiya Euro Cup race at my club in Bavaria. My friends and I started in the Stock class for the first time, that allows only some tuning parts like ball bearings, oil dampers and cvs in front. Everything else has to be as it came in the box (no TT-02s or r allowed).
We had a lot of fun and racing was very close. Unfortunately I unknowingly cheated with haveing tire inserts which isn't allowed. And because I realized it so late I had to get all 4 of my TQ-runs deleted. Still I was lucky that I could do two legal laps in the last qualifier otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to race in the finals. So I started last in the B-final and was quicker than in all my qualifiers with inserts. I could win all B-finals, ran the fastest lap of the class and most laps. Man, I am still mad at me for forgetting the inserts in the tires

Other than my stupidity it was a very fun weekend with close racing, beautiful cars and good friends. This class is so nice. It got a low price tag and still provides thrill

Which tire do you guys use for the race? The stock 26mm vinyl rubber tire? And which insert did you put in?

Yes, the tires that came in the box are mandatory in the Euro Cup (50454). The insert was the cheapest uncompetitive Tamiya has (53113). We mainly race these cars on parking lots and there the tire dies in one day without insert.

That looks like a lot of fun. I wish we had a series where the cheaper chassis was a mandate.

I've noticed the same issue without insert. It does seem to calm the car down but without insert the tire deforms a lot after just one race day. This makes tire cost quite high for a tire with very low traction.

Nice choice! I bought my TT02 last June and I use it just for bashing. It is a lot of fun to drive 😁 R version has everything you need to enjoy it

Finished my TT02R. It was a good build. I have blue springs all around with the Tamiya yellow shock oil that came with the kit. Black plastic spacer inside the shocks. AW grease at the rear diff and front has the diff lock.

I've only run on black ETS carpet once with my TypeS but spec was kit shock positions, TRF (42102) shocks with 3 hole pistons and 40wt front and rear, AW grease in front diff, blue (hard) front springs, yellow (medium) rear, 3 degree rear toe in, droop stops fitted but no droop screws in the arms, no toe-out on the front (just parallel) and a glued up servo arm. Car was dialled every run. Couldn't fault it, just used less tyre sauce as the grip came up. When did yours go bad? As the carpet rubbered in?

Hey man come on out with it. I can help you tune that tamiya in at thunder. I run a old school TB03 and I am competitive. Very competitive.

I will be more than happy to help you tune that bad boy in.
