Tamiya TT02 Thread
#3421
Tamico has it listed for preorder now at €289,99 – that's 30 bucks over their price for a TA-08. I don't know if it's worth to spend that much money on a TT-02 but at least you won't have trouble finding spare chassis tubs

If you want to use SSBB shocks, the lowered shock towers from PSM would be an option.
PSM Front SSBB GT Shock Tower, Carbon 3mm - TT02S (1) - #PS02094 | PSM (psmfactory.com)
PSM Rear Wide SSBB GT Shock Tower, Carbon 3mm - TT02S (1) - #PS02096 | PSM (psmfactory.com)
Please note that this would not work well with the Yeah Racing Anti-Roll Bar Mount (TATT-034). At least in the front the upper cap on the shockbody would hit the Anti-Roll Bar in the innermost or two innermost shock mounting positions. For SSBB the Anti-Roll Bar should better be mounted in a lower position like in this video:

In my opinion, the big advantage of SSBB shocks is the possibility to use progressive springs. I prefer to use Xray 2.5-2.8 in the front or 2.3-2.6 in high grip conditions combined with 2.6 or 2.7 in the rear.

This is a very nicely built TT02. 👍

but I mean on the tt02 platform that's tb platform so not what I was saying, trf tt02x not Tb evo
so keep the tub chassis start with a tt02sr or srx but add all the hop ups like ssbb shocks/towers , alloy steering, spur gear adapter,inner link plates, anti roll bars and droop stoppers that work on 420x suspension but keep all the nasty alloy suspension arms 🤮

Hi with the progressive srpings what oil weight would you recommend? I trying to set my tt02sr with ssbb shocks and the psm mounts. Currenly I am using 350cst with xray linear 2.7f and 2.6r. I assume you are only using the progressive in the front? I will be running on high bite black carpet. Any recommendations for outdoor tarmac? Thank you
Sometimes progressive springs 2.5-2.8 both front and rear work well on medium grip carpet or outdoors.
On Asphalt I use 500...550 or 600cts shock oil. Mostly 600cst on hot summer days. I have two sets of Xray SLP shocks from my T4 2015 that I use with the PSM shocktowers in the TT02. For Outdoor Racing I prepere one set with the PSS sleeves to quickly feel the difference.
Furthermore I have two 3Racing Differentials. Most times one is filled with 4000cst oil and the other one with 7000cst.
I think Tamiya now provides a better option with 22049.
I just had a look at my car. With the PSM shocktowers I'm using the outer hole on the two hole side with the rear TRF416 Y-Arms to get enough upwards travel out of the shock. (I think this is the 42mm hole measure from the inner hinge pin.) The SR Manual states the inner hole (38mm) with the original shocks and shocktowers. Also I grinded away some material on the arms to clear the spring retainers. 😉

Indoor I prefer 450cst oil on medium grip Carpet , softer in the front if the grip is really high. Mostly I use the second hole on the inside of the front shocktower, the innermost if the grip is high. I usually switch from 2.5-2.8 to 2.3-2.6 and to the flatter damper position to prevent tracktion rolling. In the rear I use the center hole or the second from the outside to keep the car stable. Furthermore, I do a lot of fine tuning by adjusting the downstop screws and adjusting the width and time I apply the tire additive, adjusting dual rate and negative steering progression on my radio. Changing the roll center via the inner mountings of the upper control arms and changing the track width through different hexes or wheel spacers also offers good options to play around with.
Sometimes progressive springs 2.5-2.8 both front and rear work well on medium grip carpet or outdoors.
On Asphalt I use 500...550 or 600cts shock oil. Mostly 600cst on hot summer days. I have two sets of Xray SLP shocks from my T4 2015 that I use with the PSM shocktowers in the TT02. For Outdoor Racing I prepere one set with the PSS sleeves to quickly feel the difference.

Does anyone know if the new TT02 SRX comes with oil filled dampers or the standard friction shocks. Also has anyone heard of a release date for the car. Been trying to get as SR version but I miss out every time.
#3433
Tamico's pre-order page says 20.02.2023 – https://tamico.de/Tamiya-58720-TT-02SRX-4WD-Chassis-Kit
The release date may vary a little from region to region, but no matter where you live sometime in February is a good estimate.
#3435
SRX is coming out with the TRF420 suspension arms and cva shocks yeah? i think thats what i read on THERCRACER page
