Tamiya TT-02B Project: TT-02 Steering Upgrade & TT-02B Full Turnbuckle Upgrade! (Episode 10)

[@madsrcbuggy]

Oh, that was great to watch! I just did turnbuckles on mine also the other day and I also needed to "learn" which way which parts screw on, ha ha! The steering arms system from Tamiya looks great, the way they mount with those grub screws, looks very sharp! And new servo and radio system, good idea! Have a good one there!

[@NordicRC]

Hi Mads! Uhh sounds good with your TT-02B too. Ahh, I actually think it was Tamiya that made that mistake with the turnbuckles. The actual thread definitely didn’t match the instructions 😄 Yeah gonna be awesome. I finished it today. Looks great but I have some serious editing work cut out for me the next couple of weeks before I can share it 😂😅 Have a pleasant week, my friend.

Great worth while upgrade man!

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, Jake!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Ooooh - all that blue anodised alloy looks so nice on this buggy! Steering all strong and smooth now, this is gonna be a sweet handling (and looking) Tamiya. Top job on the video, very professional as always. All the best, my Nordic mate! :O)

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, Mark! Hope the comment section is treating you alright. All the best to you my dear mate

[@MarkBryanRC]

PS - I just replied to your email - it's good news! :D

[@NordicRC]

@@MarkBryanRC Uhh 😀

This was a very helpful video - thanks. I've been collecting parts for a TT-02B build myself and didn't know about the TT-02 Steering Upgrade being usable with the TT-02B Turnbuckle Upgrade set - which I've already bought for my build. I'm not sure if I'm going all out with the bling upgrades myself but I do intend to do all the necessary hop-ups - bearings, etc. Your TT-02B is looking very nice indeed. 👍

[@NordicRC]

Hi Nick! Yeah, many of these are not really necessary. Ball bearings, the steering and turnbuckles are nice though. Glad this video provided some info on the steering. Best wishes to you and your TT-02B my mate

[@jsven007]

sweeeeeet. Love the videos!

[@UncleBobsRC]

Great stuff as always Mikael!!! I put the same steering upgrades on my TT-02 Type-SR, but it uses long screws through the bottom of the chassis for the bell cranks instead of those grub screws. Awesome video my friend, Keep'm coming!!!!

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, Bob! Ahh, yeah, I’ve seen those ‘sockets’ on the bottom of the TT-02 chassis and thought some of the TT-02’s might use them. Anyways, the steering upgrade works sweet. Thank you again, Bob.

That steering looks smooth now 👊🏻👍🏻

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, real smooth now! Unnecessary smooth, but fun project 😅😊

[@hollyhillrc]

Looking very nice my friend 🙂👍

[@NordicRC]

Thank you my dear friend 😊

The Tamiya upgrade steering no. 54752 label that was pointed out 4:14 not for use with TT02B and TT02 Type-S. Any interference later in the series. I assume use the longer turnbuckles from the other option set.

[@NordicRC]

Steering links / turn buckles from the separate turnbuckle TT-02B set yes ☺️

[@BasBoyRC]

That's some sweet steering setup, not seen that set before. The upgrade bill must be getting scary.

[@NordicRC]

Hi Mal! Yeah, this ended up costing me a couple of good Tamiya kits just in parts :-) Well, it's hard to stop once you start

[@johan-henrik]

Great model - and expencive. Only thing I was missing was a brushless motor.

[@homeworkpictureshq]

Nice

[@NordicRC]

Thank you again for the support, bro!

[@Manufalket]

Super like,,, 🤩👍

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, buddy!

[@bradkalman2353]

I had a feeling ball-bearing steering was coming.

[@FahmiSani-q6l]

4:17 whats that supposed to mean,not for uses with tt-02 type s or tt-02b,is this for the tt-02 touring rc car or for tt-02b buggy?i dont understand.

[@ernestclanton8343]

Do you have a video on the body for the antenna and body posts

[@NordicRC]

Say what?

[@bradkalman2353]

I have a couple of videos of my fighter buggy RX memorial edition running.

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya Mikael. They look like very worthwhile upgrades for your TT-02B. Did it say on the packet that it wasn't for the TT-02B? I put an alu steering upgrade on mine but it was a different brand and I think that your official Tamiya one looks better. There is still a bit of slop in the pivots on mine. Anyway good stuff. I hope all is well mate. Did you see that I replied to your email about the RC elf?

[@NordicRC]

Hej Pete! Yeah, might as well go all in 😀 And yeah, the steering upgrade package says it’s not for the TT-02B, but that is mainly because it includes turnbuckles for the TT-02 touring car (much shorter obviously). So that’s why I got the TT-02B turnbuckles set too. But yeah, I got a similar set for the DF-02 by GPM Racing, also with ball bearings, and that does the job too. Uhh, must check my mail. Thanks Pete! Been busy all day with the TT-02B (family is out of town - so this was the first opportunity to spend some serious time in the hobby room for at least a month). It’s all finished now. Although I now got tons of footage that I need to find time to edit 😅

[@bradkalman2353]

On the ESC it came with what is the highest and lowest it can go with motors?

[@NordicRC]

25T

[@bradkalman2353]

Are those turnbuckles stainless steel or titanium?

[@NordicRC]

Hi Brad. Presume it is steel

[@bradkalman2353]

I'd like to know every hop up you ever did on this car and how much it's cost you in US dollars if you possible.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah! That could be a fun video. But definitely a senseless amount that makes no sense - performance wise 😅

[@MKHITARIANVahram]

👍😉

[@NordicRC]

Thank you for the support!

[@bradkalman2353]

So when you going to drop a brushless in there I know these chassis can take 4,000 or higher. Lol

[@NordicRC]

Not any time soon 🙂
