Tamiya TT02 Thread
#4066
Other than not clanking boards or side rails does anyone know of a way to help secure the stock dog bones from popping out of the front end of a stock TT02? Tonight practicing I experienced this a couple times, once I think it was from such a hard impact but the others they were slight brushes with the barriers. We run a stock class that does not allow changing to driveshafts / universals. Thanks in advance 😃

Yes and no! The photo shows the mounting in the rear which is no problem because the three screws are "free".
In the front there is the bumper holder, and you don't want to mount the droop plate under it because it harms
the ground clearance.

I run on a large flowing track, low to mid-low grip, with a HW Xerun V3.1 (boost timing to 20 - 25° just to avoid sleeping in the straight) and a Reedy Sonic Mach 2 21.5t (endbell timing to 31°) ; this should probably give me the same speed as a more modern 21.5t motor, but still lacking some power. IP 8400 LiPo long stick (certainly too heavy but I manage to run almost 20min like so). FDR around 4 to 4.5 and the use of a 40x40mm fan on the motor. Tyres are Hudy 36 (#803062), body is a Zoo Racing Gorilla Max (just because I like the style of this, but I've tried with an old PF Mazda Speed 6 and it worked even better).
Setup wise, here is what I managed to achieve after several testings :
Front
- droop : 5.4mm (measured with shocks mounted, and adjusted by putting shims between the piston and the shock body onto the shock axle)
- spring : SMJ 3.1
- Shock oil : 500cst
- Shock position top : 2nd hole from the top of the damper stay
- Shock position down : Tamiya 54943 in position C (i.e. : the most outward or closer to the wheel side)
- Camber : 1°
- Roll center : 1mm shim under the ball on the inner side / 0,5mm under the ball on the outer side (wheel side)
- Toe : 1°
- Ackerman : 1mm shim
- 1mm each side between wheelhubs and tyres
- Ride height : 5.4mm
- Spool
Rear
- droop : 4.6mm (measured with shocks mounted, and adjusted by putting shims between the piston and the shock body onto the shock axle)
- spring : SMJ 2.9
- Shock oil : 425cst
- Shock position top : 2nd hole from the bottom of the damper stay
- Shock position down : Tamiya 54943 in position C (i.e. : the most outward or closer to the wheel side)
- Camber : 2°
- Roll center : 2,5mm shim under the ball on the inner side / 0,5mm under the ball on the outer side (wheel side)
- Toe : 2.5° (flat, no skid angle)
- Ride height : 5.7mm
- Gear diff filled with 5k cst
For indoor, I've only run with a basic setup but the car was very good as well. It depends of course of the track grip level (I would say mine was high-mid to low-high). I've run with RCK28 tires and Ride 32 tires (same as for fronties at the ETS). Shock oil was 425cst everywhere and I used lower rate springs as well (to allow the car roll more, i.e. : Tamiya SSBB springs green F/R or red F / green R depending on the grip level at the front). Lower roll center as well at the rear (meaning less shim below the camber link on the "bulkhead" side). If I remember well, the front shocks were a bit more angled (i.e. : 2nd hole from the bottom of the damper stay). Of course, the main impact is tyres.
Hope this helps !
Regards
Jeremy
