Also be very careful of the Chinese knock off servos. They are NEVER close to rated speeds and torque.

What servos would you recommend??

I run Hitec servos in all my RCs. Fast, quiet, and not too power-hungry. I've never needed to replace one in 8 years.

Hello. I posted something about the new Tamiya Tble-04s ESC low voltage shutoff (6.2v) earlier and someone said that is too low. I've been doing some research and the Hobbywing 1060 brushed ESC has a two cutoff (6.5v) half throttle and (6.0v) full cutoff. Wouldn't the Tamiya ESC be ok to use since it's cutoff is basically in the middle of those two numbers. I'm afraid that if I get a Hobbywing 1060 it will start having the dreaded limp mode issue. The ESC is the last piece of the puzzle for my build. I'm running a Tamiya torque tuned motor. Thanks

i am assuming that the previous comments have been in mind with a 2S LiPo battery. you don’t want to discharge a LiPo below 3.2 Volts per cell as you might risk to damage the battery. With good balancing between cells, 6.5 V is just enough to let you know to stop immediately while 6.2 is already risky. If you want to use the Tamiya TBLE I would recommend to use a LiPo alarm set to at least 3.3 V per cell.

OK then that means the lipo cutoff for the Hobbywing 1060 ESC is too low then...right because it goes to half throttle at 6.5v and cutoff at 6.0v. Unless I'm understanding it wrong technically the car can still be driven until cutoff with the Hobbywing which is too low also. What ESC do the people use when racing in a Tamiya TCS novice class?? Do they use a lipo alarm also?? I'm alittle confused. Thanks

I was planning on running the stock steering assembly at first and then upgrading it after it likely fails but does it sometimes take out the chassis too. If so I can use the upgraded system from the start. I am curious about how well the stock set up works though.

All of Tamiya's esc's have a cutoff set for LIFE battery Which have a lower cutoff. I would leave it and just keep in mind of the cutoff. I have ran lipos on my TBL02S ( Which is the same esc pretty much with a different form factor.

Either keep in mind how long you are running, or get an alarm.

Ordering the Tamiya screwdrivers was very very wise. Well played.

That's the first two items I purchased with my kit. Lol

Is it possible to use 64p gears with the Tamiya alloy motor mount? If so, what gearing combo would be appropriate for a Sport Tuned motor for general parking lot running/racings?

Yes

I'm about to start my build but have a question that I need answered. I plan on racing with this car on outdoor asphalt. What chassis would be better suited for that: the normal abs plastic tub or the hard plastic tub? The racing surface will basically be swept and blown off with a leaf blower. Which chassis tub will give me the best performance and why?? Thanks

Does anyone have the part number for the wheels that come with the TT02R version? I've looked everywhere with no luck. I found the tires but no luck locating the wheels. Thanks
