Tamiya RC 4WD TT02/ Rally race/ Subaru Impreza WRC STi/ Maintenance RC car/ RC car rebuild

[@danwood1121]

I'm currently building my first TT-02, really enjoying it. Hope my Subaru body turns out as nicely as yours did!

[@simpleisthebest73]

Thanks for your comment. Yes, Tt02 is easy and fun build entry level kit. I'm sure you did good with your kit. Happy RCing my friend.

[@jaredgann7206]

The TT-02 kit is a fun kit to build. I had the TT-02 chassis as well as the TA-05R and loved both. Awesome and clean build. Im thinking about getting another one to build.

[@simpleisthebest73]

Yes, it is. I own four of Tt02 myself.

[@JFlyer1973]

Great video! I am starting my build tonight. Local shop out here runs a monthly Fun Rally Series and most guys run the TT02 and the XV01. Dirt and rocks sure are a problem. One guy had plastic pieces screwed in to block a lot of the chassis. I plan on making a mesh cover held down with Velcro. It will still breath but blocks debris. They make a kit for a lot of bigger more expensive vehicles like Traxxas abs it works well. Basically a breathable inner chassis cover. Would do wonders on these little guys I think. Again great vid. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comment! Hope yours turn out great.

Ah, just watch this after getting my hands on TT-02 just few months ago. Kinda takes time when you play on the dirt, even tho i uses cover set, dirt can be found anywheres. I wonder, what product number do you use for the linkage or steering ro?

[@keaixiaomeinv]

With my own Tamiya Impreza kit on the way, it's good to know how easily the chassis can be laden with gravel when driving outdoors.

[@moraesmarcobsb]

Great video bro...I love these Tamiya cars...but I run it only on pavement ( on road performance) they are so expensive in Brazil and hard to find parts

[@simpleisthebest73]

Thank you very much! Obrigado! Yes, I understand. I only do this when I filming for KZbin lol It takes all day to clean it afterward, but I enjoy doing it lol

[@randyaresbiblestudies2588]

Thank you for this video. What servo are you using? I want to build a TT02 Rally for my first RC car.

[@simpleisthebest73]

Thank you for your comment and watching my video! I'm using standard Futaba 3003 servo.

Great camera work 👍

😊 thanks!

With all the RTR vehicles today,not many remember having to build a radio control car from a kit. Was that a Wheely King in the back ground?

[@simpleisthebest73]

You mean the wild willy2? Yes, that's the same playground that where I run the WW2.

[@DaPandas_Rcs]

Is it bad tht id rather build a kit than get an rtr if tht car or truck has an option

[@simpleisthebest73]

@@DaPandas_Rcs I never buy rtr rc cars. I enjoy more put things together and repair..

[@ColoradoStreaming]

@@simpleisthebest73 That is a big advantage of buying a kit. If something breaks you already know how to take it apart and rebuild it.

[@patrickthehedgehog]

How to clean TT02: pretty much takes the entire thing apart. I just did this myself this past weekend! Time to invest in a shroud or something.

[@simpleisthebest73]

I only do this whenever I run it on the dirt ground. It was only for filling purpose. Otherwise I try to avoid running it on dirt. I probably wouldn’t take the entire thing apart, if I didn’t use ball bearings and high grade oil damper.. plastic bushings are much easier to maintain.

[@christianmontano2361]

I built this bone in 2018, i put actual bearings and a brushless system thing moves

[@zoridor16]

Hi! great video! How about the quality of the tt02 chassis? I am between this chassis and the kyosho fazer mk2..because both have 2 differentials, but I don't know which one will have more resistance and longevity, which of the 2 will resist, more speed, without damaging, differentials, gears, arrows ... greetings and a strong hug!

[@simpleisthebest73]

First of all, thanks the compliment! For the TT02, if you build it well. It’s not a bad starter machine. Kyosho Fazer Mk2.. it’s coast more, but i think it’s better and much more robust machine. If you don’t mind spend more. You might want to go for the Mk2. But I’m more big fan of Tamiya. I hope my comment help you decide which car you want..

[@simpleisthebest73]

One more thing. If you’re getting TT02. You might want to spend more money getting all the hop-up parts which that’s gonna coast more than the car it self. Than it will comparable to MK2. But I think you can have a lots fun even with minimal option parts to start with.

[@DavidKohout]

Everyone who gets that in his feed, and is thinking or currently running his TT02 like that, please get the Tamiya 22023 TT-02 Chassis Cover Set! It costs around 11 USD and will save you a lot of headaches! Not all of them but a lot of them😅 Literally the best upgrade on my TT02 so far.

[@simpleisthebest73]

Unfortunately, that inner chassis cover came out way after this run 😅

[@markps97]

isn't wd40 bad for plastics? as far as i know it makes the plastics somehow brittle.

[@simpleisthebest73]

I'm not sure.. I only use it to clean up the metal parts.. I think should be fine with ABS parts..

[@rcdays2595]

Great run! Yeah the TT-02 are a pain to clean but you did a great job. What dampers are you using?

[@simpleisthebest73]

Thanks! Yes, it is a very get dirty machine lol, but I love the process of building and disassemble. Those dampers are from Tamiya that I bought about 25 years ago at RC store in Japan. I don't know the item # for it though. Sorry..

[@rcdays2595]

@@simpleisthebest73 Thank you you feedback. I did not recognize them as any option on the market today but that explains it, they seem to perform very well.

[@simpleisthebest73]

@@rcdays2595 yes, it's amazing that still works very well even after over 2 decades.

[@markps97]

what suspension are you using and would you recommend a 70mm suspension for a rally build tt-02?

[@simpleisthebest73]

I'm using old tamiya hop up aluminum damper set. I believe they are 55mm..

[@wesermunde3939]

What Technik is inside. Motor, servo?

[@simpleisthebest73]

It's got super stock TZ brushed motor, hobbywing 1060 ESC, Futaba standard servo. Thank you!
