Depends on the vendor. Robinson racing tends to do 1/16, because their setscrews are 4-40. Other companies, tend to be 1.5mm, becuase they're using m3.

I have paint pens. I paint the positive side of my batteries, top and bottom, with red paint. I also put red shrink tube on the positive connection of my ESC. It's hard to screw it up when you have the colors screaming at you like that. Short versus long isn't good enough for me ;-)

i paint the + terminal red and use red shrink tube as well.. yet still managed when I was in a rush to make a heat. So now I make one wire shorter. Also new batteries have terminals that go through to other side which makes it easier to have +/- where you want it by flipping it over

I swapped mine to XT60, because that's what my charger was fitted with. Oh and the standard Tamiya connector was junk. I could tell just by looking at it.

Had a few Dean connecters fail on me. Go with xt60 if you can't plug it directly into battery. Definitely get rid of that Tamiya plug.

I finally received my TT-02 Subaru Impreza Kit, and realized it doesn’t come with an ESC. I saw a few unboxing videos and people had an ESC included, so it was a definite bummer finding out mine didn’t come with one.

The sellers online advertised the ESC being included, but the box says right on it that the ESC is not included. I complained to Tamiya and they said that what the box says is king. Stupid but whatever.

With that being said, what ESC should I buy? Is the Tamiya the only one that will work with this kit? It would be nice to buy an ESC without the undesirable “Tamiya” battery connectors.

Most ESCs will have no plug for the battery, just wires that you'll need to strip and solder a plug to.

Does anybody know what tires came with the TT02-R kit? I am trying to figure out if it is an A, B or C.

Thanks

The RCEcho website has a section where you can download the manual. It'll have the part number for the kit tyres in there.

That's an odd sort of place to point them at. RCEcho is a generic toy/hobby sale website.

Here's the manual from Tamiya.

https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/110-4...chassis-kit-2/ That page has a "download manual" link. The tires included are the 51049 tires.

I have my kit and a Savox SC-1251MG Low Profile High Speed Metal Gear Digital Servo

Suggestions on a brushless motor and ESC to work with this servo?

If you are racing at Larry's or Bay City there using a reedy 21.5 with locked timing. If your not racing at either one it's up to you what size you want.
