Hard to find parts are:
1. Replacement chassis
2. Belts.. V1 in particular

all other bits are more or less interchangeable and upgradable with later cars.. eg you can use suspension arms from 418, 419, 420 with no issues.

Belt, you can switch to V2 belt if you change the pulleys, which is better anyways. V2 belts can still be found.

Hop Up.. there is still plenty of inventory out there

Thank you

what brand tyres are those?

Not sure the brand but here's where I got them. They have really good grip and the price isn't bad either.
4PCS 28MM 1/10 On Road RC Car Tires With Foams (Can be used for 26mm wheels) | eBay
Mounted on generic aluminum wheels.

This is my TA05 V1 60mph car.

I love the Porsche bodies. I'd love to get the Tamiya Toyota TS020 GT-ONE body but I'm not even sure it would fit on the TT02.

I feel like something is off on the chassis. I put the shorter lower eyes on the shocks and moved the front shocks in up top. I have 2mm droop in the front and no rear droop with the mini CVAs.
Still pulls to the left pretty hard. I also have the 30mm foams. I'll have to get the ride height but its about 6mm front and 7mm rear.

Hi guys. Do you guys recomend 2 oil diffs or just rear and in the front stock with thick grease or locker? I am looking at the YeahRacing one.

Thank you

I typically run front diff locked / spool and rear with Oil filled. The only car I run a front diff on is my XV01 which is used for Rallye on dirt, snow etc.. that has a gear diff, but with very thick fluid

Thanks again.

Silly putty in the front diff will make it into a solid spool, and it can be easily removed without residue later should you want to get the diff action back. Also won't leak.....bonus.

Thank you.

Thank you guys. Just placed my order. WRX STI TT02, bearings, Tamiya adjustable arms, Yeah racing rear oil diff and shocks. Should be a fun budget build. Will order aluminum steering set soon not sure which one yet and rear hubs 2 toe in.

Yesterday I decided to shoot a video of my TA05 hitting 60 mph with assistance of my son 😉

Nice!
I'll have one soon as well. Have some 48p gears on order to go faster on 2s, if running on 3s doesnt kill it haha.

I was going through the chassis and found one of the rear drive cups rounded off in the gear in the diff. Popped another open diff in from my rally TT02. I tossed in the WR02 open metal gear diff in the rally car for now.

I'll have my adjustable upper arms today and the YR adjustable rear toe plate tomorrow.

Update: The RcAidong steering set helps quite a bit, but still pulling left on acceleration. No random turns anymore though, so that's a plus. Going to work on some turnbuckle adjustments to maybe dial in the left pull on acceleration.

And I'm still not great at driving and I busted a rear wheel knuckle skidding out into a curb - ooops! so I ordered the YR 2 degree rear knuckles to replace the stock ones. Practice sure is fun!

Next up: I'm looking at replacing upper/lower front arms, front knuckles, and putting in the u-joints all around.

These things are a blast to drive and the number of parts options are great for being able to get it all fixed up and back out again quickly.
