I have been running the ProTek RC 140T servo in my GT ProSpec for the last two years with a Tamiya blue aluminum servo horn (no servo saver). That servo has taken its share of hits both outdoors on asphalt and indoors on black carpet and its as good as new. Highly recommend it (plus its not quite Tamiya blue but close enough...LOL )

Thanks a ton guys, appreciate it.

Last racing was maybe 1990 or 1991.....original RC10 platform, a Bolink pan car and my grail was a Schumacher cat that got run over by a car and then I got my drivers license and 35 years later, back at it.....never really lost the bug, just have a ton of other hobbies etc like everyone else.

I want to get the TC4 up and running as well, I always liked Associated but I know it is now an older platform and I scoured the web for some additional parts for breakables etc. Unfortunately there aren't many classes locally where I could run it.

The only thing stopping the motor from meshing better was this corner touching the motor where the bearing is on the chassis. A little grinding and I could fit the 54 to get a 3.27 FDR without having to change the spur. Also you can see there is quite a bit more room for a bigger pinion and/or spur to get a much lower FDR!

I am going to be running my tt02 srx in the vta class what spur and pinion size to start is going to get me close for vta

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I kinda lean in that direction. I am looking to pick up my first LiPo for my TT02r and I was wondering what size mah battery should I buy in order to balance the car down the center? I am running a 540 silver can with a HW1060 speedo and a ProTea 140 servo if any of that matters. Thanks guys!

This or 60/70 to get 3.03 and adjust from there.

I have found the Protek 2s 5000mah battery works the best for me for balance and lightweight. Been running my LiHV for 3 seasons now.

Default Adjustable Camber on TT02

Hi r_lud

love your ride!

rctech newbie, back in the hobby after 30 years and tinkering with my TT02 911 RSR with some good progress (and acceptance of that the XRAY X4s at my local club will still lap me).

QQ : Is there any reason for why the PSM Upper Mounts + a set of turn buckles wouldn't work for camber adjustment for the TT02. Seems like a much more elegant and lighter solution than Tamiya's own Adjustable Arm Set (54874).

Thanks in advance!

actually.. I don’t think it would work.. the SRX uses the TRF hubs/hub carriers with standard hubs you would need a solid mounting point on the chassis..

Of course, that makes sense, the hubs likely don’t work with TT02 arms so I can see how this turns into a
SRX upgrade of your TT02

TT-02R showed up today......of course I ended up buying a bearing kit thinking it didn't come with one as it wasn't listed as one of the included "hop up" parts but I probably just didn't read closely enough. Whatever, better to have two sets than no sets I guess. Since I will be running TT02 and possibly TCS I just went with the 1060 ESC and the Torque Tuned 540 for now.

Gotta finish getting my TLR up and running, installed electronics today on that one while also working on converting my TC4 to an informal dirt oval rig......

Fun stuff all around.

Probably start the TT02 later in the week or over the weekend.

I have a TT02RR and running on black carpet and having major issues with understeer. I am running the short wheelbase, 2.5 rear hubs, spool in front, 7k diff fluid rear. 3 hole piston in shocks with 3k diff fluid (recommended by last years TCS Japan trip winner Vu), soft red springs. 3mm shim internal in shock and 2mm shim rear shock to limit droop. -2 degree camber all around, 4mm hex with 0 offset tires. The I have a crazy amount of understeer and literally have to run +5 degrees or more toe out in order for this thing to be somewhat competitive. Everyone else has a far less aggressive setup with toe out and for the most part the exact same setup but has so much steering and can carry so much speed through corners, while i have to brake in order to get this thing to steer. Has anyone run across this issue or any recommendations to fix this extreme understeer.

Try a lower shock oil, go to 1500 and see what it does.
