I also tried full size lipo (6000mah) and lcg lipo (4600mah) on my stock TT02 for Production. Even tried the lcg lipo with esc on the same side and to me didn't feel right on the track.
Sometimes you have to experiement and see what feels right to you while driving. My times weren't any faster with the lcg lipo and esc on one side compared to just a full size battery. Could it be because the car handled better with a larger battery (also had more mah towards the end of the race).
My Production TT02 felt more planted with more weight on asphalt.

Thanks, that's the usual comment I've read about running the TT02 with a shorty (and thus what makes me hesitate). However, I cannot imagine that 100 -150g less of the total weight will not be an advantage for this car. I guess I will have to try to figure out then. Thanks for the input guys !

Hi G-rem,

I guess that the heavier battery has a higher average voltage. That should easily
compensate for the higher weight (depending on the track).

Aby setup tips for the SRX on asphalt?

For the first time ever, this past weekend, I did some very super casual (TT-02s/TT-01s allowed) outdoor racing. Specs are just a few upgrades, most notable ones were the aluminum steering set, oil differentials, universal arms and drive cups, CVA dampers, aluminum motor mount, running 25T/68T pinion/spur (although others had slightly different gearing). Everyone was using the Torque Tuned Motor. The field was a mixed bag of experience and inexperienced drivers. Recorded 3 races (forgot to hit record on the 4th). Got the videos published today.From my vantage point, it was a bit too low and hard to see all the lines and course markings. Will definitely bring a step stool/ladder for the future. As for driving, if I drove better, I would have finished closer to the top drivers. I think the car handled 90% well, but the rear kept sliding out in power was applied too much after turning. Was good practice and had fun, which is the most important thing.

Any ideas on reducing the rear from sliding out? Currently rear diff is very loose and front diff is fairly stiff, packed with 1M grease, if I recall correctly when I built the car.

Track looks fun? Are you in the SF Bay area? Where and when can i join?

Just pm'ed you

Got it. Thanks!

Yeah Racing Aluminum Rear Hub/Knuckle Arm 2 Degree For Tamiya TT02 That will solve it

Went racing at my local club over the weekend. It was the season finale race for points.

In the TT-02 GT Pro Spec class, I hadn't been doing great all season so the points did not matter to me. I just wanted to make sure I had the car dialed in and drove as best as I could. In the finale race, I had a good run most of the way but having an open track ahead made me too careless and the mistakes I made opened the door for someone to start giving chase. I defended as best as I could, but on the final lap, royally screwed myself by cutting a corner too early, thereby losing P4 and ended up P6 in that race. Other than that, I was pleased with the way the car handled (converted to short wheelbase) and it means I can now focus more on my driving lines*

*(But next season, our club is going to switch out the Torque Tuned Motor and 29T pinion for Hobbywing 21.5 FTM and 29T pinion so it will be much slower as I've already tested out that spec)

I hope the music (which surprisingly was not flagged) adds to the video of the A-Main below.

LOL I had to look twice, I had deja vu for a moment and thought I was over at the TamiyaClub again hahaha. Got mine started and finished yesterday, except for the receiver (gets delivered today) and soldering.. Once i get off work and can figure out how I'm going to set it up, then its time for the iron! Hopefully I'll be able finish up my AMG body by this weekend, gotta get some masking supplies and figure out what color still. This thing looks like a piece of cake to cut out after the BBX heh.

Yeah I post in both forums. Tamiya Club because everyone there loves Tamiya, and here on RC Tech because there's so much history and solid information/advice for each chassis.

All my set up is in my Youtube video description, so if you also race on black carpet, you can use my settings as a starting point and then adjust accordingly on your track. Good luck with your build! I remember seeing your thread on Tamiya Club haha.

Going to start running Porsche spec class. Im new to this chassis. I picked one up used im thinking its a TT02-R. I just had a few questions about drive shafts/axles. Which upgrades do I need to run whats in the pictures ill post. Anything close to dcj's up front?
