I run a tt02 type s for racing (one for me and one for my son) but wanted a rally car for my daughter to practice with outdoors. Bought a tt02 with bearings on ebay for 50 quid and currently rebuilding as per your instruction Mark, as I see this as a capable and cheap fun rally car. Even better having two already as it means many of the type s spare sprue can be used if anything breaks

Thanks Mark! The D15 trick was a valuable tip. I’ll do that with my Motul Autech TT-02. I’m considering also trimming the lugs off the arms as well. The road version has very little travel. But I’ll run it first and see if it’s necessary as I think the arms look the same road and rally. But I’ll also inspect the TT-02B which are longer arms and check it out for any restrictive components and again the D15. Hope you are staying safe and well. Again thanks for sharing! 👍🤓🇦🇺

I admire those who enjoy and take the time to build these kits. One thing that needs to be taught is HOW to "think" like the Tamiya people who designed and wrote up the instructions. Like learning to take a test you need to understand Tamiya think haha. I went in head first on a Tamiya Leopard tank and man was it a learning curve. No matter how great the exploded views/instructions there are ALWAYS these "WTH" angles that are impossible. I want to build their top shelf car but it looks like a mind meld and instant headache.

Nice video. I did similar steps on my TT-02 to modify it for rally. Instead of grease, I use silcone oil with 500 000 CPS in the front diff. Because of the better steer angle, you will be more safe when using CVDs in the front.

Very informative. Guess what, trimming off the “limiter” on rear lower suspension arm was exactly the thing I did to fix my ride height! I took my tt02 for rally once on the hills, and you’re right - dirts did get into the front steering parts and jam. Creative solution to use glue gun! Besides I also noticed that the dirt and grass got underneath the motor, wonder if that does damage to the motor though.

I will certainly have a look at trimming that. I think I've done the other bits. I had a whole tube of Tamiya anti wear grease from Japan before the fire but it's one of those things that got chucked out unfortunately. Luckily it does appear in some of the kits like this one. It's like gold dust isn't it? Don't think it's like anything you can buy from Halfords. Anyway very enjoyable mate. I've got the place to myself tonight as Saran is on nights.

Hi Mark, I really like your videos. I am thinking about the best platform for a rally car. I don't necessarily need something ready to go as I like to build custom parts and make changes. Here is my dilemma. I am looking at several chassis, but I cannot take a decision on the best one. Option 1: I have a TT02 chassis with a few hop-ups, and the cheapest option would be to implement some of your suggestions and probably CVD front axle to increase steering performance. Option 2: go for a HPI RS4 creator edition and chop some parts to increase ride height plus longer suspensions advantage is the stock metal gearing. Option 3: Kyosho fazer mk2 kit. Suspension travel does not look like a problem, but expensive. Option 4: XV01 long damper kit, probably the best option but quite expensive and not sure about hop ups for the future, plus not sure if 3s lipo fits in case. thanks and greetings from Wiltshire.

Hello, Enrico. Thanks for the kind words. And you sure have a dilemma! I don't have any hands-on experience of the HPI or the Fazer Mk2, but they both look like fine cars, I really like the quality of the Kyosho RC's, and they look super cool too! I can recommend the XV-01 as a rally car, mine has been run very often and is standing up well, very reliable and a super handling chassis. I have had a lot of success with the TT02 Type-S as a rally car with a little suspension modification (only a little trimming of the front lower wishbones needed. It handles super-nice and has so many hop-ups included in the kit, I recommend you take a look - I have videos of the build and mods required if you are interested.It's pretty cheap and you don't need to buy any other hop-ups. As for the basic TT02, I have yet to see how it performs, but my friend's TT02 does perform quite well off road - but my Type-S is better! All the best and greetings from Birmingham. :)

Once again Mark, very informative stuff for those wishing to go off road with this chassis. Very nicely done. Clear and concise. What did surprise me was those plastic diffs. In all the dozens and dozens of Tamiya's I've built over the years, every one ( that had diffs ) were metal. I always thought they were a generic, default component. I'm presuming here that Tamiya with progress, improved design and development have changed to plastic diffs in newer more cutting edge models, to make them better with improved performance. Is that right ? If not then is it a just a case of using lesser components to keep the cost of the kit down ? I'm just trying to work out why some diffs are metal and some plastic and why the change ? Anyway, great job and look forward to episode 2.

@MarkBryanRC

Hi mate. Cheers for the thoughtful comment and support. Yeah, most of the newer 4WD chassis (TT01, TT02, XV01 etc) have similar 4 planetary gear plastic diffs. There are metal hop-ups available, but very expensive. I think it is a cost saving thing, but luckily I can report that all of my cars with these diffs are trouble-free. TBH, plastics these days are are pretty good, and a tiny bit of flex in the material probably helps prevent chips and cracks in the gears. The only issues we have had is slipping bevel gears in the TT02B (the ones that drive the diff ring gears, fitted to the end of the centre propshaft). But hey, they are cheap as chips! I think the metal gears are only used on older models and high-end newer releases. Anyway, hope is all well with you, enjoy the Bank Holiday. :)

Hiya Dave - Yeah, definitely need a decent set of shocks on this one, but as you say, parts are hard to get at the moment :-/ When available, I recommend the Tamiya super mini CVA shocks for this chassis, they really suit the car and work better than some alloy shocks I have tried. I'm gonna steal the ones off my TT02D and fit them to this rally chassis so I can at least get a decent test run in! Thanks for the comment, all the best! :)

I did build 3 TT-02 so far and have some more to come, intresting enough i didnt remember the D5 part so i checked: The part was added later to the kits. There are at least 2 different manuals for the TT-02 (2013 and 2019), but i suppose there are at least 3. In the lower right corner of the manual front page you see an article number of the manual/chassis revision: My old one says "11053610", the new one says: "11053610-002". I could only spot 3 differences, one being the D-5 part (doesnt exist in the old manual). Another diffrence is the newer kit includes 4 plastic 12mm hexhubs and in the first lines of the japanese price list one says "2013" and one "2019" , as well as the prices have been raised. I wondered why the rc section wasnt changed, no mentioning of brushless and the picture shows the TEU-105BK esc while kits have been coming with the TBLE-02S, TBLE-04S and lately with the Dragstar 70A ESC (Hobbywing 1060 clone).

Hey Mark, I have been watching your videos for months and I finally had the courage to get a TT02 Kit. I am building an Impreza 99 too. I noticed that the front suspension is a bit higher(2-3mm) and softer than the rear. Is this as designed for a Rally Car? I have followed all steps and cant figure out if I have done something wrong or not. I am not using the shocks that came with it, but some adjustable ones I got on ebay. Wondering if i should adjust the front ones to make it stiffer and reduce the travel a bit. Well done on all your videos. Amazing work. Cheers.

Hey, Gio! Thanks for the kind words, my friend! Well, I never built my TT-02 in stock form, just adapted it. Good to hear you got the Subaru '99, it's a great kit. The front is a bit lighter than the rear, due to the motor placement, so I think it will be good with a little softer suspension at the front. I wouldn't worry about it too much, try the chassis on a run and see if it bottoms-out on the rough - if so you can dial in a bit of preload on those shocks - it really is a matter of "suck it and see!" If you have any problems, let me know and we will see if we can work it out! All the best from Mark... and enjoy your awesome Tamiya rally car! :)

@MarkBryanRC

Жыл бұрын

Hi Ren. I think you will be fine with the 19T pinion and the 68T spur. The 68T spur doesn't raise the gearing too much on its own, it really just gives you the option of running bigger pinions than the stock setup, and the pinions make much more of a difference to the gearing than the spur. I've got a TT02 with the high speed spur running a 22T pinion and it is fine with the Torque Tuned motor. The motor mount is also stock and no problems there, either! The only thing I'd recommend is fitting ball bearings and maybe a cheap motor heatsink with any speed upgrades you install. Cheers!
