Anyone with a used TT02 for sale please let me know. Really wanting to get into it without buying something new.

You want a used basic TT-02 kit? It only costs 80€ new right now over here... (on sale). How much more do you want to save?

The suspension is the Yeah Racing conversion kit: YEAH RACING COMPETITION TOURING CAR UPGRADE KIT FOR TAMIYA TT02. The shocks are also YR.

Interesting. Wasn’t aware the made composite arms. Very cool

Hmmm. $200 upgrade for a TT-02.......We're well off the rails now - nearly hopped the track. That's half the cost of a new TA08 Pro....
I have 3 TT-02 of my own (and an -08), but.....I'm speechless.
I guess some of us really love the old shafties'

Remember: it's a hobby. It doesn't always have to make sense. And even things that don't make sense to you, may make sense for someone else, for various reasons.

Yes, on a pure cost/performance calculation, spending this much on hopping up a TT-02 for an open chassis class makes no sense, whatsoever. Heck, getting a TT-02 for racing in itself is not a good choice... unless class rules require it.

We have a racing series here with a class that requires an original, unmodified TT-01 or TT-02 chassis tub (blinky ESC, spec fixed timing motor, fixed gearing), but otherwise open tuning. That's what I configured my TT-02 for (and I simply cannot make myself stop half-way when hopping up any car. Once I start, it gets the full treatment. Just because I want to. And given the cheap plastic look, I was happy for every single blue part that made the car look less awfully cheap.)

I paid $175 for it to convert a car that's been sitting on my shelf for years, so for me it was a sub-$200 option to run a second class (VTA). I'm sure there are cars in this thread that have more than that invested in Tamiya option parts alone. Where you would have a valid point is that the quality of the Tamiya parts is far superior lol. Still, it was fun to put together, and it'll be fun to bring to the track. Plus, I won't mind it getting beat on in VTA.

Yours is the best looking TT02 I have seen. And I really like it in black than in blue. Looks like that $175 convert kit doesn't include shocks, but does it include drive shafts and outdrive hubs for the diff? I like how they add down stops and sway bars option, and also the rear toe adjustment as well.

Found the picture.

I see they sell the sway bar mounts by themselves

Thank you. I prefer the all-black as well. No, it does not include the shocks. It does include universals, outdrives, and clamping wheel hex adaptors. The kit quality was decent. A bit better than I expected, actually. Some of it required a bit of massaging and extra parts to get working, but nothing major. We'll see how well it holds up on the track.

So I'm almost done with the 911 headlight buckets, and got sidetracked and whipped up some prototype splitters for the Evo body and the 911 RSR body (The RSR build is almost complete and looks incredible IMO).

I used an existing print on thingiverse for the 1991 Audi V8 splitter.

​​​​​​Added cutouts for wider tires, and trimmed to fit the bodies. Need more filament before I can finally print some prototypes and make adjustments for the final versions.

I put a lot of effort into some of my builds. I thoroughly enjoy it too. This one is not quite complete, But I'm pretty proud of it already. Hope you drool as much as I do

Tailpipes are awesome man. Was that with the diffuser you made?

Thanks bud! I haven't had the chance to order some filament yet, So I have yet to print and test out the 2 splitters I modified. I'm sure they'll need a little tweaking. For the Carrera splitter I'd like to better match the outcrop on the lower front bumper instead of just the long radius curve.

I also am trying to figure out a way to turn one of the splitters into a rear diffuser for the speed run rig. I'm positive I can make it work, I'll just have to get creative. Once I get a little further into Tinkercad, I may try my hand at some side skirts as well.
