How long does it take to build a Tamiya TT-02?

In this episode of 10th Scale Garage, we find out how long it takes so build a TT-02 RC car kit from Tamiya. We start with a bag of parts and show you how long it takes to complete the build. We'll suggest some essential upgrades along the way at try to set our own personal best in a build speed run. If you've never built a RC car from a kit, the TT-02 is a great platform to start. You'll learn how an RC car works inside and out, and be able to use your knowledge from building an RC car and apply it to maintaining, fixing and troubleshooting your other RC cars and trucks.
Building a kit will give you a great understanding of RC electronics and mechanical components and having a kit that you built yourself is a rewarding experience.
The Audi Quattro is one of out favorite kits to date, and we're excited to show you how it looks in it's final form. This iconic rally car is represented beautifully in 10th scale. Weather you plan on racing it, drifting it, or just looking at it on the shelf, You cant go wrong with this legendary car.

Thanks!!

"Way too much... Perfect." Nice VGG reference there guys, I got a good laugh out of that one.

[@loou26]

I’m actually building the same car right now. I’m taking my time, attention to detail is what makes these models. Cheers

[@ruftime]

Nice Guys! This is the first rc chassis my students build after learning to build/fly/repair flitetest. We currently have 45+ running in our Eurotruck racing series, with a lapmonitor system on our Pool noodle/pvc track…..with Michelin tire bridge😎……my student learned that just as in flying…..it’s the Pilot……not the bearings😎😊

[@10thScaleGarage]

Very cool!

[@3locosrc757]

Thank you for sharing this. Also the bearing kit is a great upgrade. Keep it up

Nice job on the build.I wish as you have suggested before.I wish all builds,and parts would come with instructions.I am thinking of accessories for the scx24. Oh also nice haircut ext.makes you look younger. Great video as all ways. Happy New Years to the both of you and your families and subscribers.Stay safe,and Happy RC.☮

[@10thScaleGarage]

I recently built an Injora trailer. Zero instructions. I had to use photos to figure out how it all went together. Happy new year to you too brother.

Good afternoon brother always cool video

Lia’s Burgundy Nice one guys can’t stop life 😔 happening . What a guy and family 🙏🏼

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Looks great! I've literally never built an RC, but I'm getting closer to building up the courage to do so. I think we all need an Ethan to build an RC with 😉

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup. I got lucky.

[@Mad4saxBrewery]

I like the TT-02. I do measure the bearings with calipers (yes always replace the kit crap) some are close in size. I also have always replaced the shocks. Tons of upgrade parts for cheap to have fun doing.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Enjoy the weekend great channel

Thanks, you too!

Yup. We were devastated (like so many others) to hear of his passing.

[@seabass62yearsago]

the Audi quattro

[@bustedaw11]

Buckees lol. I've got hoodies and shirts for the family from buckees. 😎 1 tip I got for building kits are flush cut snippers. I cannot stand the nubs and those will cut the pieces loose from the trees almost flawlessly. Otherwise you've gotta sit there and trim them all with a knife and that adds a lot of time. Might just be me but I can't stand the nubs left on the pieces lol

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup. Especially the drive shafts and hubs. Basically anything that spins.

[@JahyChannel]

In the mechanical part only of the TT02, my personal record is 34 minutes, plus the installation of electronic parts 18 minutes... times without any type of work on the body. I was inspired that day lol!!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Sheesh. Not your first rodeo!

Agreed.

[@danification6587]

great job on the build...i don't have the nerves to do that myself lol

[@10thScaleGarage]

If I can do it, you definitely can.

[@bustedaw11]

Its easy. Just 1 step at a time 😎

[@lfortin2154]

I built my honda civic eg6 in a 3 days of 3 hours each. Put a beautiful yellow on it. It's a beast. it's the "drift" edition even though it's 4wd so I'd rather call it a powerslide kit.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yellow is my favorite color for a civic!

[@Jxcko0o]

LIA BLOCKS AUDI so fire great build

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Have a good time

[@andrehorrell1768]

Does the kit comes with remote and receiver?

[@aaronbloyd9203]

PLEASE!! Post a video of how to do the magnetic body mounts. I've got a tt02 drift chassis I just built with me kid and I do not want the body posts going through that sweet sweet civic hatch body!!!

[@ekart1610]

Just bought a TT-02 kit but I got a little scared when I read the instructions. Is it really that hard to assemble all the electric parts and some of the other harder stuff.

[@loou26]

What kind of wheels are those? The bbs ones

[@kamengamerrider8556]

where do i put the green wire from the motor?

[@LukazRC]

Takes me about an hour an half to build one (chassis that is) an don't need the instructions but do have to look at it to see what wheelbase it is etc that's it, I built 17 TT02 kits last year the body decals is the longest part especially on race cars

[@10thScaleGarage]

Nice! I think I’ve done it in about that amount of time, but I’m usually not filming when I do it. Haha.

[@ocdriftil3269]

👍👍

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

I told you guys that once you built your first Tamiya, you'd be hooked. Lol

[@10thScaleGarage]

You were absolutely correct.

[@henrymrowka1142]

What process do u use for the diffs no matter what I do I can’t get past putting the diff cover on without something binding

[@10thScaleGarage]

Hmmm. Are you using the right spider gears?

[@fastrack59]

Awesome job! What size hex hubs does it come with? Thanks!

[@10thScaleGarage]

12mm

[@clivereeves6892]

I like to only use hand screw driver going in to plastic not power tools just me. Never want to strip out the plastic but as I say just me being cautious when building the chassis parts great job anyway.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I like color

[@aaronbloyd9203]

Cutting the stickers and placing on the body can take as long as building the chassis.....

Soon.

[@mataosUK]

Looks good, and another 2 hours or more if you cut out all the body decals/stickers and put them on, that was the longest part for me

[@10thScaleGarage]

Same.

[@NBC_NCO]

The real question... Hie long does it take to apply all the stickers on a rally car?

I connected mine on Green = Blue then Yellow = Yellow.. but the car won't move and i'm just getting a beeping sound from the motor. steering works though. can anyone help?

[@mikeupton5406]

Buckee's 😝can the beaver come out and play? I got railroaded into buying a TT-02-E just to get the body out of the kit to mount on a MST chassis. ( Beaver, mount. See what I did there?) So I have this TT-02 chassis that I didn't have a use for and the market is flooded with these things so about nothing for a resale value. So it went in the storage room. I have seen videos on KZbin of these cars being modified into competent drift cars, not great but reasonable as a entry level drift car at minimum expense. I am going to steering rack and links and upper arms for the front suspension and delete the front differential. Bargain basement drift car.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Do it! What body did you harvest?

[@TestDriverRC]

About.. Forever lol

[@TheTruthWillBRevealed]

Dude, the chassis you built had gold colored rims. But that's not what was seen after the shells were placed on the chassis. WTF!?
