danb1974 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Probably a slight mistranslation or engrish Quote from tamiya site: Drive type: shaft Drive line: dog bone Differential type: gear Edited November 20, 2014 by danb1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSWAINY96xX Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 this is the car i orderd. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-porsche-911-carrera-rsr-tt-02/rc-car-products/379576 this car is effectively the same car just a different body shell right? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-laferrari-tt-02-/rc-car-products/379577 is it just a mistake where it has different drive types?

Noj Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Identical chassis, shaft driven 4wd with front and rear diff. Immediately invest in an ally prop shaft and two sets of tt01e diff internals; the tt02 uses plastic diff gears for some strange reason, which are best left on the sprue. A set of bearings is advisable also, as they improve performance and provide longevity over the plastic and brass bushings supplied with the kit. Enjoy the build, shouldn't take more than 90 minutes to have a completed chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSWAINY96xX Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 yes definetly. thanks for the advice i love building these kits. soo much fun. i plan on turning it into a drifter. gonna make my own custom one way front diff. intresting to hear they made the diffs out of plastic when the old ones were metal?

XxSWAINY96xX Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 would these fit the tamiya tt-02 aswell? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jazrider-Metal-Sealed-Full-Ball-Bearing-Kit-Set-Tamiya-TT02B-58568-Neo-Scorcher-/350858832680?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item51b0d0eb28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) As a kit, the 02 is a nice improvement, aside from the diff internals...I assume Tamiya believe the plastic will be more durable than the older, metal parts? Of no real issue, 01 parts are cheap Word of caution, go easy on the screws when mounting the shocks to the lower arms, as the plastic here can strip the thread with ease (as I discovered to my cost) Edited November 20, 2014 by Noj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
