I was wincing hearing that lovely bodyshell being scraped along the road. I'm in the middle of attempting TTO2 speed runs myself just now. It does 18mph if you do nothing to it and by just changing the pinion and spur gear to 35 and 49t running a 3s pack gets you the low 50s mph. To help keep it straight on the runs around the 50mph and above i have locked both diffs. I have just used white tack so there is no permanent damage and it can be put back to a normal diff any time you want. 8 pea size balls is all it takes as you dont want the stuff sqeezing out when your trying to screw the cover back on lol. The other thing i changed was reducing the steering movement down to 30%. At the moment i'm using my 2nd motor/ESC from the 3 i have to work with. It's a hobbywing 5400kv motor with the a 40t pinion/49t spur with the same 3s battery which is getting to the mid 80mph. I think i'm maxed out on the gearing, i havent been able to find anything to improve it. The 3rd motor/ESC is a Tamiya 3.5turn 10,000kv transpeed motor and a hobbywing ESC to suit, but i dont know if i want to run a 3s pack in that as it warns no more than 7.2v which is not even a Li-po !!! I dont mind smoking the other two set-ups as they're not a lot of money but the transpeed thing is a different story. I have zero interest in making video's but i'll give you a sub to see how your getting on 👍👍👍

[@SeekingTheVerdants]

Another lovely father and son team and a TT-02 speed run. I just watched the same kind of video where a dad and son were doing a speed run on this Tamiya chassis. I will be buying one for myself soon too. It's so nice to see folks like you having fun like this. He seems like a very good boy too. Thanks and take care.

[@HardcoreRC]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed, cant beat a Tamiya car for just having fun. They are both good biys and all being into RC's has really brought us together more as a family, love this hobby

[@StewMac570]

Noice! Happy to help out if needed. I will be defiantly looking out for more vids on your progress. Awesome edit too!

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks - Jack is the one doing all the work on this one, think we may well be picking your brain as from what i can see you have been the fastest with the TT-02. The body has got to be changed first that's for sure 😂

[@StewMac570]

@@HardcoreRC yeah just hit me up. Facebook PM would be the easiest. So far my TT02 is the fastest. 115mph on 4s and 116mph on 3s (both different setups). But I moved to the TRF which is a better platform. The TT02 is where I learnt most of the tools I apply today with my cars. So it’s a great chassis to learn on and is capable of going pretty dam fast.

i´ve got little crazy with mine... locked front diff, good bearings, non play at stearing- with an extra connecting bar between handle bars... easy to do, very good ajustable suspension kit, tires with anti balooning inlay, tamiya gearing kit with 29t on motor i think, very good sensored motor-esc-package, best run on 3s lipo 110 km/h gps... 2s about 80 km/h.. my only uploaded videos ;) 4 fun amateur shorts ... greetings to all tt-02 frankensteins-monsters-experimenting dudes

You need a donwforce body kit if you want to achieve the potential or it will just come off the ground and flip ...as far as stability goes the downforce kit and rear diffuser was the most important upgrade for my tt02

[@josephrivera8463]

In my experience TT02 always has steering problems, can you make a video on how to correct the steering? Aftermarket kits don't help much.

[@HardcoreRC]

Still trying to find out ourselves 😂😂 and still waiting for a new chassis to become in stock

[@josephrivera8463]

@@HardcoreRC looks like GPM makes the best kit? I tried the yeah racing one and didn't help much but look shiny. Pro racers seems to use a system where the steering arms are bolted through the chassis with a nut at the end? So many options I just don't know which one works. I'll wait for you guys. Haha

[@Turbowagon]

The tamiya aluminum upgrade kit takes a ton of slack out of the steering. Mine is pretty rock solid with it.

Cheap and simple to improve the steering Use 2 long screws 30 x 80+ with nuts hold the steering bridges through the bottom of the chassis cost you dollars only The oem screws are too short to hold and not durable after tough driveg it getting loss and lost traction

Not had any issues with the diffs, we also used to run a Plasma Edge on 3s with big wheels, no diff issues with that either. Think the cars are so light and Tamiya been making these for ages they tend to know what they are doing 😂

@@HardcoreRC the steering is just some longer than stock screws down through the chassis with nuts on the under side the chassis has recesses for the nuts as for the front braces im not sure i would guess there is 10 to 15mm m3 hole spacers each side on the bumper with 25 to 30mm long m3 screws going through the bumper with some ball connectors with a m3 thread in the centre on the top of the suspension arm it looks like some kind of spacer with a longer than stock screw going through some of the same ball connectors hope that makes sense you should find all you need on ebay for a few quid or maybe you can find most in your parts box i need to get mine back out i was stuck at 57mph it would just spin out so got a diff locker (could only get 1) and fitted it to the front and got to 61mph then the bad weather and no stock of parts i wanted i put it away till the better weather

[@maltemuller8194]

I'm not into onroad rc but why are the body mounts so high

[@HardcoreRC]

Just hadn't cut them down, its a kit so comes with long ones depending on the body the kit comes with, i like to leave long so the body gets less damage when it rolls

[@diamond66ist]

Those after market steering racks are pretty fragile , i think the Tamiya aftermarket ones are the best.

[@HardcoreRC]

Havent broken one yet, it was the chassis that went, screw pulled right out and wouldnt go back in, replaced the chassis to fix it. But if we have issues will check out the Tamiya aftermarket one

[@anub1s15]

@@HardcoreRC yea ruined a chassis with a 3rd party one, the main benefit of the tamiya ones apart from a slightly different way of getting put together that might absorb stresses a bit better is the screws, I've noticed the 3rd party screws usually have pretty normal thread where the screws tamiya gives have a deeper thread to dig deeper in to the plastic creating a stronger hold, it's then also capped off with a wide bottomed peace that screws on to the thread to hold the steering which itself offers up some resistance to side to side movement by being screwed down, they do charge an arm and a leg for it so I fully understand not wanting to get it :P
