It's still a Camaro. And not the Catfish one. Fourth gens are the pigs LOL.
And I actually prefer the second gen Camaros over the first gens. First gens were great and all, but the late second gen looked aggressive as hell.
If you've never driven a third gen like mine setup properly, that explains why you don't like them. They'll handle better than 95% of the cars on the road today, excluding and including some AWD models. Pig or not, catch me if you can

Compare the specs to the same cars from that era. Skidpad etc. Many people have autocrossed with them. I have not. But I do know there are quite a few cars that couldn't keep up with mine through the corners, and I'm just one person with a v6.
All the info you require is available on various third gen forums.
Back to topic.

Stop trying to start an argument by twisting my words.
This is an RC forum, and a thread about a TT02, lets talk about that instead.....

Yep, very short lived but still considered their best engine of the era. It’s a very angry little engine 😈
Many substitutes the 2.0l for it’s slightly larger displacement and ease to modify.
I made sure that mine came with the original.

I have released a Front Splitter and bumper assembly mounted Diffuser for the 1973 911 Carrera RSR on a TT02 chassis.
All of my Aero stuff, Pictures, Links and further information can be found Here - https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/ind...comment-922865
The rear diffuser I designed a mounting system that allows the diffuser to be mounted at 3 different heights, so should hopefully be able to be mounted at your chosen body height. Need feedback on this mounting system as I need to know if I need to add a few more optional heights. This diffuser should tuck right into the rear bumper on the 911.
MID mount

HIGH/LOW mount

Diffuser with mounting tab

Let me know what you think!
(I asked about posting a link from Tamiya club and got no answer.)

New guy here. I just started racing a TT02 at my hobbyshop. I raced it this weekend and had a front dog bone and the diff drive cup fall out when I got tangled in a wreck. I'm sure this has been answered before, but is there a specific upgrade that I can do to so this doesn't happen again? This message thread is over 223 pages and I would imagine that someone has encountered this before.
What would you recommend?

You can if you want to spend more money get the Yeah Racing universal joints with the small ball ends but then you would have to buy the ones with the small cups too.
Either way just make sure when you get the universal joints to thread lock the grub screw that is put in these. I can't tell you how many times I have had the universal joint loosen up after 1-2 races, as well as the guys who race in my club. Also make sure to add some black grease (I prefer Team Associated) to the ball end.

If you get the ones with the big ball ends you will be fine.

For what it's worth, the darker universals came in the TT02 aluminum conversion kit. I have seen them by themselves though, so there must be some mixed stock floating around.

Just purchased a TT-02 and some Hop Up parts.
I purchased these for the Front:
ITEM# 53792
ITEM# 22047
The Universal shafts are No where close to fitting. They are to long, and I'm unable to get the Hubs to attach to the Front Arms.
Likewise in the rear. Once I discovered they wouldn't fit up front, i tried them in the rear with the Oil Filled Diff. Still to long to really fit correctly. The universals went into place, but they were still long enough to compress my Diff to the point it wouldn't rotate freely, and would literally grind the gears when turning it manually.
I don't have much of any experience with Tamiya, has anyone run these combos, and what am i needing to replace to make these shafts fit properly?
I purchased these for the Front:
ITEM# 53792
RC UNIVERSAL SHAFT ASSEMBLY
However, I had also installed theITEM# 22047
RC FNT DIRECT COUPLING SET 39T
