It has LiFe cut off. Not many kits that are non rtr come with a n ESC or motor.. so consider it a free bee.

For a kit to include brushless price will go up a bit, so keep that in mind

I'm trying to get my stuff from the LHS, since they have a track for me to race on. I do get practically everthing from them, but $25 is much better then the over $70. I'm already getting another motor and reciver from them to try and fix this problem. Did anyone else have this problem with this ESC?

high powered servo in Euro truck? You mean a digital servo or an actually servo marked HV?

Sounds like a fairly high expenditure for an out of the box novelty class.

I run a Trackstar TS-D99X with a TBLE02 with no issue.

digital doesn't mean high powered, and HV just means it accepts HV. I mean high current draw. Savox, in general seem to fall in that category. KO Propo has a speical low current servo just for classes that specify stock ESCs.

Maybe purchase another S6240Rx and put it in your problem car? I have a Savox SC-0254MG which has similar speed and it works/ed fine with the TBLE02

I'm aware of the difference between analog, digital, coreless, brushless servos etc.

Euro Truck is a box stock spec class, so was just trying to understand what type of servo was causing the TBLE02 S to go up in smoke in. It only has a 1.5 amp bec so the choice of a high current servo is asking for trouble...

I'd like to but that's a $120 servo/reciver. Already spent about $50 on motor and ESC. Hoping the $30 SR215 reciver will be all I need. The LHS told me they use these S6180 servos with the TNLE02 ESCs and never had any problems. I should get that reciver by Thursday. Hopefully that will fix it.

Thinking of picking the Tamiya Subaru Impreza Monte Carlo 1991 1/10 TT-02 Electric Rally Kit

It will be my first build and I’ll probably keep it pretty bone stock. Or do I really need to upgrade the kit to enjoy it?

It’ll be a fun car, no competitions or anything

It's worth building it with a full ball bearing set (tamiya part #54476 or a set from the multitude of 3rd party vendors) because the standard kit comes with plastic bushings which wear out quickly.

Oil filled shocks (tamiya part #54753) might also be worth getting which will make the suspension less bouncy, especially useful if you plan on driving it over a rough ground. They will also handle more dust and dirt than the standard friction shocks before they need to be rebuilt/cleaned.

Depends, are you racing it or driving it for fun on parking lots?
-I'd recommend full bearings for both situations,
however when I first built my TT02, I built it w/ the intention of driving in the parking lot. I built it w/ bearings otherwise it was 100% stock. It runs great and handles well for parking lot fun in nearly stock form.
A year or so later my older son (who was about 10 at the time) started expressing that he wanted to race RC cars w/ me. I converted my TT02 for his use in a novice race class. At this point and if its used for racing I would at minimum: 1) upgrade the shocks to oil filled shocks w/ adjustable collars ...this is really a must if you want it to handle well on a track. 2) I upgraded the top A-arms front and back to adjustable camber links (pivot balls w/ threaded links), ...this is a must too as you'll want to adjust camber front and back. 3) I upgraded the steering linkage to aluminum (from the stock plastic). This is less important than 1 and 2 above, yet it will help give more precise steering which again is helpful when racing. 4) less important, but i'd make sure your drivetrain is using the aluminum parts (not the stock plastic ones), aluminum motor mount w/ adjustable mounting options is also nice to have (not the one w/ the holed slots, but the one w/ the ability to slide the motor forward/back then tighten ..I think Yeah Racing makes it). Get a good set of tires too! Oh, almost forgot, I also put a brushless 21.5t motor in it (I turned the throttle EPA down initially and slowly increased the speed as my sons got better w/ the car).
My son used our TT-02 in the above setup for about 2 seasons, he's now almost 13 and is using a TC7.1 for VTA class. My youngest son is now using the same TT-02 (he is on his 2nd season w/ the car). Point is the TT-02 is a GREAT car for beginners, its strong, parts are not expensive and its easy to work on and fix.
