Is it really discontinued or just a back order item??
Appears to be the case

Hi guys.

I am about to put together my TT-02 Type S chassis and have a question concerning the diff's and Tamiya Diff Putty: I will add a small ball of putty in the rear and three balls of putty in the front. But do I need to add lubricant to the diff gears too or does the Diff putty also acts as a lubricant within the diff's?

Thanks.

IIRC, the putty is meant to be used for locking the diff, so only for the front. Personally I'd use a liquid filled diff (don't have the part number on hand, though) for the rear.

Plus I will tell you from experience if you use putty and want to change it later it is a HUGE mess. Also ruined a good pair of double cardans when I tried putty in my TT02. Snapped both sides.
Whereas using diff oil I just stick it on a diff draining tray for 1-2 hours and then spray with cleaner.

Thanks Mike, for the heads up. I am aware of oil diff for the TT-02, but putty is my only option at present. But now, I know what to expect using putty :-)

I run diff locker with double cardan and have never snapped or broken them.. can’t see how putty would do that as it’s has a lot more give.

Something else causes them to snap.. perhaps wrong size? They were too long?

correct, I’m running 39mm.

If you switched to new spool from XV02, you need to run 37mm

Good to know I just decided to try the new spool.

Default TT02SRX

From Tamiyablog:


58720 TT-02SRX RACING On Road 4WD
The TT-02 frame will soon be available in an exclusive updated version compared to the previous S version.
The TT-02 Type-SRX frame kit features increased durability and performance for racing. This frame kit uses the stock oil differential and front rigid post as well as a selection of options normally sold separately. This kit is perfect for those who want an Entry level frame but who already have an Optional base to be able to configure it for competitions.
Chassis Features
1/10 Scale R / C Chassis Mounting Kit.
• Items 22049 oil differential and 22047 rigid front pole ensure easy assembly and stable driveability.
• This frame kit features a reliable 4 wheel independent double wishbone suspension used in the TRF420 frame to ensure an effective setup.
• Center joints have plastic parts in the joint sections of stainless steel pins and aluminum joints to limit wear of parts.
• Universal joint (code 22054) provides stable steering and cornering grip for superior performance during racing.
• The rear driveshafts have a size of 39mm, specific for this frame.
• High speed gears and 27T sprockets (transmission ratio: 6.55: 1) are included as standard parts of the kit.
• The included servo saver ensures an ideal steering angle and to limit damage to the steering servo.
• Features shielded ball bearings.
• Comes with a dedicated carrying case for the TT-02 Type-SRX chassis.
• Please note that the body, battery, motor, tires and R / C system are not included.
Accessories included as standard
– 37mm cardan for constant velocity joints, 2pcs. (code TO22054).
– XV-02 / TT-02 Oil gear differential (code TO22049).
– Front rigid pole set XV-02 / TT-02 39T (code TO22047).
– 27T module 06 pinion in hardened aluminum (code TO54981).
– TRF419 suspension set (code TO54886).
– TT-02 Hi-Torque Servo Saver Set with metal bracket (code TO54799).
– Central transmission shaft in aluminum TT-02 (code TO54501).
– TT-02 speed gear set, 68t (code TO54500).
– Item 53823: 5mm thick aluminum rim drivers (code TO53823).

– Cross joints for low friction constant velocity joints (code TO42357).
– Short ball connector for TRF shock absorbers, 8pcs. (code TO42323)
Looks like the SR with the TRF420 suspension and a couple of driveshaft upgrades. I won’t upgrade from my SR but as that is discontinued I am glad Tamiya is continuing to release a tuned chassis for entry level racing.

One description says 419 arms the other 420. From pictures, they appear to be 420 arms. Issue with these arms is that the droop screw holes are on opposite side. Where as the old short reversible arms have droop screws on both sides.

Yeah, the translation is wonky. I checked the associated part number and it’s the „TRF419 suspension upgrade set“ because it is the hop-up for the TRF419. But it’s the TRF420 suspension.

you also can see it on the pictures that there are 420 or other new suspension arms and not the 419.
Imo good Idea (got a fully upgraded TT02SRR and it is a fun clubracer) but expensive.
