It's decent for the budget, but personally, I would opt for a Sakura for $100 or an XV01 for $200. I wasn't impressed with the TT01 as a base for modifications, even though it's advertised as an affordable entry-level chassis for various purposes. I don't see the point in buying a cheaper car and then spending a lot on upgrades, when you could simply start with a better quality car from the beginning.

What is happening?! Are we being bombarded by AI experiments?

To what are you referring?

Someone made a comment that a particular user is a bot.

Sakura, is that from 3racing?
Have you any link to that ?

Here is two other great cheap cars.
First has covered spurgear, Very close to TT01-02 but better, and less than 110bucks
Second is carbon racecar less than 160bucks

CARTEN T410 1/10 4WD Touring Car ARTR

CARTEN T410R 1/10 4WD Touring Car Racing Kit

I know one Speedrunner that has drive this T410R stock , only change is Belted 1/10 onroad wheels, and offcourse a super performance Brushless combo at
He did 120mph + without any Issues.
This tells that the stock Diffs and other parts are Strong !

Carten makes many different cars, Club racing cars, M Chassis , and Advanced professional Competition racing cars also




The 1/8 Electric Onroad Race car is also nice



Tamiya have also many nice Pro cars in carbon

Let's please stay on topic, i.e. the Tamiya TT-02 in this thread. Almost every other car mentioned has its own thread, so no need to spam this one full of pictures and links to other cars.

Tamiya 51696 (SP1696) Ring Gear Set 40T

Tamiya 51695 (SP1695) Ring Gear Set 39T

Both fit TT-02 ?
If yes what is better for 17.5T stock racing?
Thx

TT02R is out of stock everywhere, it is worth buying the TT02D and convert it to TT02R?

Shoot…with all the new hop ups, it may be worth building one from scratch.

I think everyone is waiting on a production run, tower has a pre-order gaurantee you'll get one so hopefully should be coming soon.

what is the difference between the TT02R and D. i want to build a car for TCS GT Pro Spec.

The D stand for Drift ..drift tires and other things like skid plate under the chassis ect
TT02R is a good base starter kit for GT Pro

The RR was the car to get but unfortunately I think Tamiya figured it was too good of a deal.

The TT02R will need a few things. My basic list for the R would be:

Hard chassis
Steering upgrade kit
Universals
new sealed diffs
upper camber adjustable arms
6mm hexes

i think that’s probably a good start. Here’s my two rigs…still pushing to improve them all the time. Just got some new parts on the way that Tamiya just released.

nice
