sweet, thanks for that. The wife will appreciate the lower cost of this build

I've been working on the prototype splitter and diffuser for the 911 RSR body. Second prototype of the splitter and first prototype of the diffuser. Had to come up with a mounting system for the diffuser that allows the use of the rear bumper assembly, as I use the bumper mounted body posts all the way around. The mounting system came out excellent, and with a few more added tweaks it should work perfectly!

Here is a couple preview pics. I need to tweak the diffuser to come down a little more to be about flush with the bottom of the body. And I may add a slight curve on the splitter to more match the curve of the nose in the center.

This stuff will be posted up soon once I finalize the designs.

PS - Sorry for the poor photo quality. My Pixel 3XL bricked randomly overnight a couple weeks ago and I've had to downgrade as I don't have the funds to get another Pixel. This new phone has a "pro" camera mode, which is sadly more miss than hit.

[QUOTE=Qatmix;11835527]The thing is its designed to be what it is with the expertise of one of the leading RC brands in the business. Its an all round chassis that will be a great base to start with in Onroad RC. It can race, drift and rally and most importantly, it will be reliable and strong. Its not going to compete with a sakura S or Spec-R S1, but out of all of the 3 chassis, the TT02 would be the last one to break.

Case in point to the ruggedness and price point: the TT02T.
The TT02T, Tamiya p/n 58608, was just a stadium truck body and larger off-road wheels bolted onto a TT02 chassis.
Long since sold out and now discontinued.

[QUOTE=F1jet_;15909192]
And Tamiya did this before - the TA02T was an inexpensive tub with pickup bodies, big wheels and tires.
It was designed for the backyard Baja 500 and was cheap and fun to drive.

Beautiful! i'll be printing them up for sure! thanks

I've mad a few small tweaks to the splitter, and have been playing around with the mounting system for the rear diffuser. Look for an upload in the next few days!

Question for those running the 911 RSR Carrera body; What is your body height in relation to the chassis? Is it close to the bottom of the chassis or just above by a few mm?
I'm asking cause currently I have the splitter height right up against the bottom of the front bumper assembly with no spacing. I figure most of you have the body about the same height, but just want to make sure. There is no way to go higher with the splitter, but it can go lower.

I have added a slight curve to the front of the splitter to help it flow better with the curve of the front bumper.


And I have modified the mounting height of the rear diffuser. The diffuser will take a little more tweaking to make sure it fits well and doesn't bind on the back of the body like it currently does.



As you can see, in line with the diffuser I made for the 1991 Audi V8, I've been building the diffusers with a spot to mount exhaust pipes on it instead of the body. Which not only seems to look more authentic, but also alleviates figuring out how to mount it to the body. Though its not terribly difficult at all, cause I've done it too.

Let me know how you like the changes to the splitter! And feedback is also welcome for the diffuser!

Also, Is it OK to post links to my build threads on Tamiyaclub? I figured I'd throw my build threads on there first. I will eventually add them here, but I've been building them up over there first.

ill try to get a measurement tonight, but this is the height i race at.

Hey TurboThirdGen, The bottom of the body is the same height as the chassis!

Also, i cant see the diffuser on Thingiverse. could you please give the link directly for it?

Cheers

I've got a few more tweaks to the diffuser to make sure it doesn't rub the inside of the body before I upload it.

Same height of the chassis, so below the bottom of the front bumper assembly? Any way for you to get a rough MM measurement?

One splitter I have is to be mounted right up against the bottom of the bumper assembly, The reason I ask is I have another version about 3-4mm below the bumper assembly, So I want to make sure it'll fit yours too.

Had to work the last few days. I should be able to upload these on Monday after printing the next versions for test fit. The splitters just need a height modification, the diffuser needs the outside perimeter modified to better fit the body, but they are super close. Work just got in the way.

Yep, the body sits lower. It has 11mm clearance to the ground.

Ive printer the splitter you have up and like its height. it does sit higher than the bottom of the body but therres enough flex between it and the body for a nice seal. Plus it allows for full compression without bottoming out.

Perfect! I'll make note and make a version about the same height as that generic splitter and hopefully have it uploaded for you tomorrow!

A some point I'll make a variation of the side skirts for the Porsche bodies.

Did you use the Audi skirts or the Evo skirts?

Figured I'd let you know I uploaded a Splitter for the RSR. When you have a chance let me know how it fits. It should be about the same height as the round nose one you used.

I want to make sure the diffuser fits better with the modifications I've made. I'll be printing one today or tomorrow to test fit and will upload shortly after.
