I've been racking my brain for a way to mount sway bars and now two great ideas show up !!!

wtcc, brilliant ideas ! Have you track tested this car or has the virus stopped that ?

I've mounted the 420 suspension to my tt02 and like it ! I'm waiting on the new chassis.
I like the rear steer and that has really got me thinking …. also love the shocks but I'm wondering about setup options.

This could obsolete the TT02 SR !

I am sure it will work great on track. Not only the suspension has no flex, but my sway bar mounts, too. I am very happy how it turned out.
The SSBB shocks allow to use the whole range of Yokomo and Xray springs. This is a big plus.

Corona not only stopped me from testing, but made this project possible

Race ready

Hey everyone, I've had a really positive response to the sway bar mount set, so I've put it on my Shapeways store with installation instructions and hardware parts list.

Happy racing!

What is the difference in length between the 42102 shocks in the Type S kit and the SSBB? The kit ones are 55mm eye to eye. How much shorter are the SSBB?

Thanks!

The SSBB are 47.5mm.
Will you draw shock towers for them?

Just interested. That is REALLY short! I can draw shock towers easy. Have had quite a few bits made for me by fibre lyte. Message me if you have something specific in mind.

Thanks, not for me. I have my KRv2 and 3 conversions and the car shown here is not allowed to have custom parts.
I thought you wanted the info for you own projects.

You guys should read about and see "wtcc" KRv2 and KRv3 cars. The v2 looks awesome. The v3 is like a TT-02 and Awesomatix fused together. Not sure how to attach links. Title of thread is "wtcc's TT-02 KR" It's a real fun read. Really amazing work on both cars.

(asking in this thread as the GT Pro class only allows TT02's)

Curious about TCS rules for the GT Pro class.
https://www.tamiyausa.com/tcs/rules/

-Is there a minimum weight limit (I did not see where any is listed)
-Can you run a shorty pack
The rules state any ROAR approved battery and shorty packs are listed as approved. I don't see anything about having to run a standard vs shorty pack.
--------
For anyone who has attended a TCS event/ran the GT Pro class, do most run long/standard packs? -or are people running shorty packs in them?
You'd get a serious weight savings running a shorty pack.

TT02 should be only running off-road, do you agree?

I am going to ignore that discussion. It will lead nowhere.


Today I added some more stuff to my TT-02:

As you saw on the last picture, I replaced the rear shock tower with a front one. I had to wait until today for the carbon version (54632).
Then on saturday I discovered the rear arm mount with inserts of the SR for the first time (3451275 & 54922). Of course I had to add this
And finally a tweak for the rear body posts. The AMG GT body is very long behind the rear axle. I added TB evo 4 steering posts (9805952) to achieve a strong and long enough post.

The car can get really unbalanced with a light battery. I used two different sized batteries and the handling/blalnce difference was obvious. That being said, you can at least have all the weight down low if you need lead to get it back to balanced..

I didn't notice guys with short packs, but it might be worth trying.

Call me a naysayer but I would argue in favor of regular vertical bodyposts for your situation. On FWDs it makes sense to use horizontal posts because the bodies are high up and don't have too much overhang at the rear. AMX's solution looks certainly a thousand times better than Xray on their respective FWDs, no argument, and it can justify the drawback of having to drill the body at just the right height.

But on your TT02 you have a low body with a lot of overhang... and the blue extensions don't look that good to me TBH. So that means the body will not be held as well as it could be at the back (side-to-side+ up and down movement/vibration), you risk ruining a body by drilling it even slightly wrong, and so on. A lot is lost and not much (if anything) is gained. I guess the bottom line is: for such a nice car, you won't be able to avoid having shock towers made. But you already knew that, didn't you? Anyway I hope I don't come off as an a$$ as I am a big fan of your projects.

Edit: Wait, you can use the whole suspension from a 420 but you are not allowed to have proper towers made? Oh well.

Thanks,
if its legal (which I am not seeing where it isn't), it may allow for some nice weight savings as well as more strategic weight transfer if I want to add weights.
