One of my new TCS buds is trying to get me to goto a TCS race. I am thinking of running in the 19T sedan class and the 27T class.

For the 27T class I want to convert my EVOIII into a TB02. What parts do I need to make this possible? I don't want to buy a new kit. Part ##s would be very helpful.

I am guessing chassis and motorplate?

It can be done pretty easily. You need the tub, the M or N parts tree, the steering bell cranks, a 5x9 or 5x10 bearing (just one_ and the motor mount plate. I would also suggest getting the chassis stiffener too. I'll get you P/N's in a little bit and PM you

As promised, here's the pic of the TB-02R on display at the Tamiya World Championships in Japan. Weird! I think I'm the only one who actually took a pic of it. Seems that nobody's interested to say the least...

But then, I do think this chassis is the car to have next season... I'm sure somebody will find a way to make it faster than the 04s.

Here's the rear part... what's that I see? Plastic motor mount? Expect to spend another $100 or so hopping this one up to it's full potential...

i recently learn that the TB02 motor mount can only allow fixed gearing... .... that's not good...

is there any after market motor mount that allow any gearing?

Is the tub still the standard plastic?
It seems to be getting close to a very good race car, LW suspension, TRF shocks and the carbon parts.
It looks like there is room for an adjustable motor
That the only thing i dislike about my TB is the lack of open gearing.

I have tried checking the gear mesh for .4 Pinions and spurs, the TB EVO 2 72-teeth spur fits in and the pinions range from 43-49.
I have not run it with these combos but you have to check the clearence for your own liking.

Thanks

Ian,

I agree...sadly it does not apear to be much stiffer than the OEM part.

Let hope the TB02R uses some chassis material similar to the TA04R...

(you have a PM)

Will I be able to just by the new TB-02 R chassis and graphite braces and put then onto my already tricked out TB-02 TCS Warrior? I like the new graphite bracing but I hate to buy a new car as my TB-02 is pretty tricked and already works great when I run TCS races. I have had the car for a year and ran our two local TCS races and TQ'ed and won GT2 both times so I have no need to buy a totally new car.

No problem. The only thing I didn't send you was the P/N for the tub itself. I know it's somewhere in the thread though
