Best Beginner 4WD Race Buggy? Tamiya TT-02BR Kit Unboxing

[@danielandrews7028]

Just in case anyone is building one of these. Follow all the instructions except for one specific step when building them. The instructions say to put 3 internal damper limiters in the front and 4 in the rear. This is way too many internal spacers. i suggest Zero in the front and two in the rear. This is what my DT02 MS instructions state so its safe. You will get more travel in the shocks which is really needed. Failure to do this will cause chassis slap every single time even on the smallest jumps.

[@VestedUTuber]

The internal spacers step is probably a holdover from the original TT-02 touring car.

[@dudemanismadcool]

That is very helpful advice thankyou. Is this something I need to worry about if installing the Tamiya aluminium damper hop-up?

[@Papa_Shorty]

Wow. I’m in the same boat as another commenter. I didn’t know about this channel. I’m glad I found it.

[@heffe17]

Looks sweet with the adjustability and extra parts.

[@rmarkley79]

No idea how I didn't know about this channel. Glad it popped up for me!

Yup, it’s where the extra content goes. 😄

I absolutely love this car!

Hex hardware?! I'm sold.

Wish this came with the possibility to add a slipper clutch.

Nice! I run my TT-02B's hard on 3s brushless

[@charlesbronson1959]

So did I 3s 5200kv motor and snapped the front of the chassis in 5 mins .. The TT02b chassis is brittle compared to the DF02 chassis

[@philthyco1]

@@charlesbronson1959 hasn't been the case for me the df02 and the tt01 are made from the old ABS that's brittle and hard plus it's a lot thinner.. I've been running my tt02b four years and years and never broke a chassis whatsoever its actually really rigid and strong.. first I've ever heard of a chassis snapping in half..only thing I've ever heard breaking like that was the bell crank mounts pulling out or cracking

[@philthyco1]

@@charlesbronson1959 I mean.. What did you hit?? ..5200kv on 3s is about 55-65 mph depending on gearing lol

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Cool little buggy. Be fun to have a spec off road carpet class of these

[@schuttrostig5729]

Now the question is how does this compare to the td4 ?

[@derstreit]

Funny how I randomly browsed a Hobbyshop Webside a month ago, found this kit and was intrigued. Then i tried to find some videos of it here on youtube and nothing showed up. Weird, but ok, its a Tamiya, so what should go wrong. I did not know that is is that new XD BTW: It drives good, I like it.

[@muddfoot69]

Does associated hex wheels fit as a replacement?

[@islandrc-duke1972]

nice kit and unboxing

[@MauzyrockRC]

OMG I love it. I may want the XV02 though. No race tracks here. ;(

[@rctrucks]

XV02 is pretty sweet too. It will be on our main channel soon, just have to finish the body.

[@muddfoot69]

I’m curious as to how durable it is

[@JT-wf8cc]

Hey, do you think the standard TT-02 is a good base to build a super realistic touring car?

[@rctrucks]

The TT-02 is pretty versatile. It would probably make a great base for a project.

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

The steering is well sloppy and the tube chassis collects all the little stones from anywhere you run them. The only thing going for them are options, that chassis has been use to death.

[@rybuds47]

My Tub was my favorite touring car i ever raced, not the fastest, but still my favorite. The fun to dollar ratio was better haha

[@rijkemans5114]

If you want a realistic touring car, you need weight in the front. The XV-01 has that and is probably the most realistic chassis currently available.

[@zero604]

5:00 what size e-clip hinge shafts do i get to replace the screw ones?

[@skharyanvi2735]

[@kattmandu]

As someone who has never raced before, is harder less flexible plastic better or worse for racing?

[@rctrucks]

Harder plastic is typically better for racing. For bashing you typically want a softer plastic which is more forgiving.

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

My god that chassis has been round the block and under every body shell, it's getting a bit of a name for it's self ....

[@toeonthetrigger7531]

Any Center diff or slipper available for the TT-02?

[@jasonroy5874]

No , but there is a slipper pinion you can get but can not remember who makes it. The pinion is 0.6 mod.

[@richmax13]

Are you gonna build up this BR buggy and test it out??

[@rctrucks]

Yup! Almost finished

[@richmax13]

@@rctrucks awesome, I hope you installed a brushless system in it. My local hobby store has it for 365CAD.

Best beginner? It costs 280/300 eruros in my country , counting the elctronics and body over 300 euros ,and is basically a tt02 converted to buggy... PLEASE. For that price u can get a lot of uses or new 2wd ans 4wd REAL competition buggy (yokohomo ,TLR, losi mini etc). It is not a bad platform but is a hopped hup platform than may perform decent but still is nlthing compared to the stock other real buggys. Just get a tt02b first try kit (around 100 euro, with electronics and body), get an alu propeller and ball bearing and have fun, but this much money is NOT WORTH on a tamiya tt car. U may spend 200 euro and get all the other amazing 2wd and 4wd tamiya buggys, from avante to novafox, hotshot and hotshot 2, super hotshot. They come with ball bearing, some of them with hex schrews, far better overall qualkty and design and they look astonishing compared to this. And the best thing: they are worth their price!
