[@scaleworksRC]

@RadAbyss nothing on your level, but thank you, brother. I truly appreciate the kind words 🙏 ..after this move coming up, I should be able to join the Infraction/Detta' gang 😃

[@RadAbyss]

@scaleworksRC hell yeah the infractions great fun

[@UrbanLegendRC]

Now that’s a nice rc you make me want to build one of these cars next

[@scaleworksRC]

They are surprisingly tough and pretty versatile chassis. Took way more crashes than I expected, but I think the body took most of the impact. The 2 major things to make these driveable is removing the wheel slop, and washers on the lower arms to stop them from popping out every time you hit a bump.

I hear nothing but good things about those bearings mate,sweet upgrade. We have a mustang gt4 on the tto2 platform..... Not guna lie,in its stock form it is awfull.....handles like a flip flop!!😂 But the whole appeal to this chassis is the amount of upgrades available ,and the potential to turn it into something really special that down right performs. I enjoy seeing what you guys do to these cars,with some amazing results! Enough about cars ,how cool is that kitty!!!🐈 And,damn she looks sooo similar to my Silvie cat.....same coat,markings,colour and everything! 😊👍 👍 👍

[@scaleworksRC]

Yep.. they are gifts from above I believe, and they are very similar looking and similar history! I think people are quick to dump on Tamiya kits because they do need work to perform out of the box.. but that's intentional by Tamiya for 2 reasons. They have the optional hop ups for you to spend more, or just leave it with the pogo sticks and bushings for shelf queen status. I'm sure you could get that Mustang to handle. My buddy Rangoli RC just built his first TT02 and it handles like a champ! Check him out if you have a minute. Thanks for checking in!

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

​​ Oh yes indeed,they were sent to us by design! 🐈 And yeah, ever since the eighties half of the appeal of Tamiya to me was the option to 'hop up' the car. I really went to town on my TRF special Top force,my sassy chassis custom clod buster and my runner monster beetle! Its great fun tinkering and upgrading.....some of the upgrades make a lot of difference in performance ,some more for aesthetics. And yes,i have seen these tto2's totally turned around and modified into seriously competitive race machines! But ours stays stock as it doesn't really get driven much to be honest....in fact it hasnt been driven since last years tto2 speed challenge when i put it at 50mph head on into a curb!!!! 😂 I will try and check your mates channel out later,cheers man.😊 👍 👍 👍

Man I can’t wait to see the difference those bearings make. I looked on Amazon they have the winter evening tt02 set but not the ceramic ones. Where did you purchase yours from? Nice comparison between the 3 ride heights. I appreciate stuff like that. See you on the next brother 👍✌🏼

[@scaleworksRC]

@Rangoli_rc I knew you would like that 🙂 and I went straight from Winter Evening's site. Also you get a small discount if you use 'REITPLACE15' there 🫡 ..I'm curious to see the difference as well!

[@Rangoli_rc]

@@scaleworksRC nice ima check them out. I’ve been itching to make another tt02 kit. If I do I’m most definitely gonna get these bearings.

[@scaleworksRC]

@Rangoli_rc Same here.. I've seen some pretty viable drift setups and rally mods. Soo many options! 🤯😆
