kevden45 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hello I just purchased a second hand tamiya tt02 D I didn't realise it was the drift model until I got the parcel. Anyways I was wondering how do you make it into a normal touring car instead of a drift chassis? What parts would I need? I hope it's pretty easy to do but I have no experience with drift chassis I appreciate any help cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Just swap out the diffs for TT01E diffs fella, about a tenner for both and cases. Least with the D spec you get good adjustable bits that you dont get on the stock chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevden45 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thats great news thanks, I didn't realise either that the D model is adjustable when the tt02 isn't, it makes it seem worthwhile that I got the car rtr for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevden45 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Alos i'm having a browse for the diffs but can't really find any where's the best place to buy them in the uk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 MS would be a good place, the diffs come in separate parts bags and sprues so its not straight forward to get a diff. Where you based? Might be an owner near that can bung you a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevden45 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Cheers noj, I already had that idea of looking up the manual i think i've found the parts code which is 51531which is for the diff case,bevel pinion gears,spur gear stopper,ring gear and spur and modelsport have them am I right in thinking these are what I need and would I need two sets one for the front and one for the back? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-tt-02-g-parts-gear-/rc-car-products/373949 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 They are the stock plastic gears, go for the TT01E diff. Metal internals so will last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 2 x tt01e gear bags (51004) 2 x star shafts (51008), 4 x large bevel gears (51008) and 6 x small bevel gears (51008) - all of which come in screw bags A and B.....or two of these from eBay : 380951491658 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevden45 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Okay I think I may have ordered the wrong parts then as I ordered the following Tamiya 51531 TT-02 G Parts and Tamiya 51529 TT-02 C Parts (Cup Joint) will these do or should I cancel that and get them parts you mentioned noj? Sorry for all the newbie questions guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb1974 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I thought the tt-02 d comes with normal diffs... not so? Just an upgraded tt-02 chassis with drift tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Always go for TT01 Diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevden45 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Ohh dear the car is actualy a tt-01 model just matched it upto the instructions, and it's not even the drift model like he said it was! it's the standard with no adjustabe camber or suspension . So I have fitted them gears into the tt-01 instead does th same apply for the tt-01 I dont understand why its drifitng about with it not being the D model would it have anything to do with it being ball raced?
