[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thank you 😊

[@richardlingham9400]

Hi, I think the best way to improve the car is one change at a time. Changing to many things you won’t know what works and what doesn’t. A pinion and tyre change to start see where that gets you then play with diffs, remember one step at a time will get you where you want to be and you reduce your chance of tripping. Yes I watched to the end

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic comment Richard and yes that’s 100% how I’ll be doing this 😊😊😊

[@jhuff8596]

yeah made it to the end! Cheers!

[@roberttierney9284]

As your tires are the only thing that touches the track, they are the number one, most important item of your set-up. For me number 2 is gearing. As you found out that track is a high-ratio track. The big jump needed smooth acceleration and maybe ½ to 2/3rd throttle at most. But this is were a sensored ESC is a must. Your driving needs practice. Practice is the number one Hop-Up. Nothing else will make your buggy handle better or lower your lap times faster. Have fun making your car right and making you right for the buggy.

[@derkoi]

I watched to the end! 😂

[@brianbruno3487]

Bit painful, but good show I finished it and look forward to seeing more of this kinda content..

[@jondavis4204]

[@deanorc1002]

Watched till the end. great video love what your doing with the rc cars, I got my son a TT02 a few years ago and the body has great lines.

[@khrisyeet8022]

For me I like the front with thick fluid 1mil. Center slightly thinner around 3\4 mil. The rear more open 1\2 mil. I like my car to "pull" it's self. You will get several different answers to your question. Every driver likes something that suits their driving style. I watched till the end.

[@stuartdutton6846]

I watched to the end 😉 I really enjoy your channel and content 👍🏻. Don’t be so hard on yourself - the track experience was really interesting and showed a different side of RC driving that I’m not familiar with - my boys & I use our lunchboxes & pumpkin down the beach through the dunes. It was interesting to highlight a different skill set - beyond having a souped 4x4 RC car and giving it some beans! You got some great lines on the course - glad you got to land a couple on the big jump! Really good stuff 👍🏻🙂

[@n22pdf]

Nice one Glenn looked good 👍😀

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thank you 😊

[@markwilliams4666]

I watched too the end, great video glen 👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Mark 😊👊🏻

[@superstock9261]

For any carpet track you need carpet tyres, 100%: -For a track like that you need thinner oil up front -less toe in on the rear -slightly higher rear ride height -stand the rear shocks up -try a rear sway bar if you have one Also take the front jump on an angle. At the 16:50 mark of the video you can see the line you should launch the buggy at so you got a straighter line into the first kink. Land the buggy nose first on the downwards face of the landing jump, use the brakes to bring the nose down

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thank you 😊

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Glen, to answer your question on setup: racing is different from drift where you actually want a softer front than the rear. You could use less grease and see if it helps. It’s a cheaper tuning method of seeing how it affects your performance. As for your hop-ups, everything you shown is where you want to go with any TT-02. The Yeah Racing mount is miles better than the Tamiya version because you can run ANY tooth mesh like 48P or 64P whereas with the Tamiya, you’re stuck with 06 Module. You’ll still need to ensure both spur and pinion gears are the same pitch but the YR mount gives you much more options though you will have to ensure that you mesh the gears correctly with a piece of paper. The 68T spur is the same as the one supplied in the TT-02 High Speed Gear Set. Get a few while you can because they’re not the easiest to get hold of when they’re sold out. As for pinions for Tamiya, you can run a 29T pinion in it but 27T is what the TT-02 Type S comes with stock and with just that and the 68T pinion, it goes like stink! Last, I would recommend a radio like the FlySky Noble NB4 or Futaba 3PV because then you get to see your inputs and how they could be affecting your lap times. Plus, you want to mail that main jump and having a radio that allows you to see your inputs will aid in being more consistent. At least that’s what I tell myself now after buying a Noble NB4… Anyway Glen, looking forward to the next installment. I knew you couldn’t really hate the TT-02. EDIT: It should go without saying but take each improvement slowly and one at a time to see if you’re really making an improvement or not.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic information my friend 😊😊😊

[@roberttyx9860]

Awesome, bit late but watched to the end. Great to see how it turned out, Its given me something to think about on my Plasma Edge. Good work Glen.

[@giuseppenoto86]

I’ve watched till the end! I love all of your vids but especially love the tt02b series. Looks like a great track day. Some more improvements to the car and it will be that much more fun to drive.

[@AyrBear1988]

well done glenn, set up is key, do one change at a time,i used to run 2 wd and 4wd buggy, both were associated, have not run indoor off road in a few years now, been running outdoor off road for 5 years now, normally race at ottervill and barnyard for out door, also been running on road on the black crc carpet at rc Niagara indoor, be going this sunday for the last race of the year at rc Niagara indoor.

[@TAMIYALegends]

That’s fantastic I’m hoping to do a couple of Barnyard meetings this year 😅👊🏻

[@martinhsrc6699]

The track has such short straights and so twisty I bet a standard silver can is enough

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I dunno tbh 🤷🏼‍♂️. What I do know is I drove the B74 straight after and never missed that big jump 🤷🏼‍♂️

Still watching. Doing up my TT-02b, gona go all alloy, 3s and 9t brushless. Got all the parts for my weekend project. Fun buddy.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic that sounds like a great weekend my friend 🤩🤩🤩

[@eltomasoable]

This is by far my fav channel now. I just came back from running my stock old top force outside the house, love the way it drives. Turns on a dime. Perfect for a medium/small parking lot. Got a 13,5t stock motor setup on 2s. Just fast enough so I dont crash. Will be running the exact same setup in my evo when its finished=)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for the lovely comment my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@jameshorne7681]

Glad you going to do a bit of speed running. TT02B is a great platform for it. You should get Stew Mac on as a guest to help beginners start out. Yes I watched to the end!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Stew is a friend of mine, he’s the speed king 🤴

[@CalsRcworld]

I watched to the end. I can’t believe nothing broke. It took some hard hits! Anyway, it looked like you enjoyed yourself. Looking forward to the next instalment 🙂

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thank you 😊

[@MrThorBor]

I run my TT02B on Carpet almost exclusively. (Dual Block K's, 3300kv Hobbywing MAX10) For me running the front toe out greatly improved the turn in. I also run 4 degrees camber front and back. It works fairly well for the track I run on.(Thunder Road RC, MN) You could always try the one way diff from the TT01 to help turn in. Love the content keep up the great work!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent information thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

This is awesome, Glenn. Was great to see your progression throughout the video, and I love the way you rocked it with a Tamiya whilst all the others had fancy race cars. If I had a track like this near where I live I'd be there every weekend. More videos like this showing off the other side of the hobby, 👍🏻...... and I watched til the end.

[@TAMIYALegends]

[@richmax13]

Great job Glenn!! I watched to the end . I think all you need to do is get proper tires, and adjust the gearing.

[@Aro800]

I watched till the end! lol. Better than I expected the chassis design works better for smooth surfaces such as indoor carpet. Could never get my Neo Scorcher was rubbish on a rough dirt track, not enough droop.

[@knappRC]

One of the many reasons I picked up a TT-02B. They take a licking and keep on ticking. Great video Glenn. I would definitely get at the front gearbox, it seems stickier than normal. I have the Tamiya AntiWear grease in mine and it's super smooth. I found that a decent 20-25KG fast servo made a big difference over a Futaba S148.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻

[@AB-80X]

Hey mate. I've actually spent a lot of time with my TT02B MS on track, and here is what I have found to work the best. Schumacher Mini Pin tyres. Yellow compound rear and silver front. Use the medium foams all around and stick to the wide 4wd fronts, not the narrow 2wd style. Run 6mm hex adapters front and 5mm rear. Increasing the front track is imperative to getting rid of the understeer. Make sure you get a steering assembly with ball bearings. Yes GPM usually makes crap parts, but their TT02 setup actually works really well. Also lose the servo saver. It is a big deal to get rid of the slop in the steering on a TT02B. Make sure you run toe out on the front. This really helps the car dart fast into the turn. Run a hard spring in the back. This will help the rear get a bit loose and rotate. Medium front springs. Keep the front diff open. You need this as you don't have a centre diff. Keeping it open will allow the outer wheel to rotate at ground speed thus retaining grip. You will lose a bit of straight line traction, but most will still be in the rear. Run a heavy rear diff lube. 50k at least. Use a shorty battery pack. Move it forward. This will balance the front a lot better, especially if your servo is light. When your diff gears start to strip, which WILL happen soon, get the GPM metal gears. Again, one of the very few thungs they offer actually worth a damn. Just be mindful that there might be some burrs to get rid of to fit them on to the shafts. Yes, they are GPM parts after all, but once you get them set properly, they are super smooth and your TT02B driveline is bulletproof. The TT02B is a much stronger runner than many give it credit for. Will itvrun with a 503? No of course not, but a well dialed TT02B will trash a stock Top Force Evo.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey this is incredible information thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@AB-80X]

@@TAMIYALegends You're most welcome. If you go with a shorty battery, cut some blocks from PU foam to place in the tray either in the front or back of the pack. This way you can experiment with where the balance suits you the best. By the way, would you be able to recommend someone who could do a paint job on a TT02B MS shell? I want someone to do the TT02B MS box art in a cool airbrush version.

[@roberttierney9284]

I watched to the end. That TT-02B is motored for speed. If you go back to that track, put a 10.5 sensored and gear it between 8.5 to 9.5. It will feel like a different buggy. But first and foremost, have fun.

Glenn I had been wondering if you are Canadian. Seeing you race at a track in Oshawa confirms it for me. Don't know why I never got around to just asking you. I am a couple of hours West of you in a tiny hamlet named Port Bruce. I love to watch your videos. You have such passion for your hobby. I picked up quite a bit of knowledge watching you and from the comments of your subscribers. I used to race a Falcon in the late 80s and can't help but wonder how it would have done on that carpet track. Thanks for my favourite channel!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey thanks for the lovely comment Brian 🤩👊🏻

[@BUDGET_RC_RACER]

Great video… we like it a lot… 👍👍👍 Exactly what you have said…the pure footage from the beginning showing you from the first second on the track…getting used to the track and it's difficulties… 👍 Very nice and entertaining… Watching you I could absolutely see myself…😎🤣…mainly fighting THIS "horror" jump… 😎🤣 Totally understand your idea behind this project…because I like to do similar projects by racing budget priced models and equipment…trying to get the best out of it within the lowest possible price-range… 😉🧐 About your question about the steering… • before using some proper tires, I would change nothing on the differential… • However, I do not know what servo you are running. Is it sort of quick and strong enough for high traction surface steering demands…? • And then finally, like you already mentioned… maybe the gearing to get better punch, mainly in front of THE jump…😉 But, again with this step also… first the proper tires, because maybe your acceleration is already good enough, as soon as you get better forward traction… 😉 Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀 Thorsten 🌞 RACER - Budget RC Fun Team Germany 🍻 😉😂😊…

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Dan yeah it was an absolute blast 😅👊🏻

[@douglasv4266]

I watched to the end. That looked like great fun and remember don't spent too much time comparing your driving to the locals, as I am sure your driving would be far better as well after a number of weekly or months practice on the same track for a few hours. I would also agree with just change your tires and gearing and try and get back to the same track for a second run, as I think ideally you want to be able to compare the difference making those 2 simple changes makes on the same track, and the jump that was challenging you. Then I think its just a case of getting some practice and replacing parts as you break them, rather than spending large amounts of money on faster responding servo's and radio. As I expect you would have more fun (the real aim of RC) and improve faster spending the money on getting to a track rather than RC gear you then don't have the budget to actually use.
