A quick google suggests they have a 25t brushed limit, but can run as low as a 9.5t brushless. As you dont want much more speed and are staying nimh, id go for a 13.5t. Tamiya Club suggests this is a good choice, but ive no experience. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-trackstar-13-5t-sensored-brushless-motor-3040kv-roar-approved.html I just run a 3900kv motor and a HW Quicrun 60a ESC in my TT02. Youll want a bearing set too if you dont already have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV Pilot Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I run my brushless TT-01 on a 25t spur, 55t pinion, TBLE-02 ESC and 13.5t motor. I haven't clocked it with a GPS as I don't have one small enough, but I would guesstimate a speed upwards of 30mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave for 15 - 20 minutes agitating half way. Mine took around 3 sessions and the last bits were very stubborn, ended up using Auto Glym Tar Remover and Auto Glym Super Resin Polish. Removing the tints wasn't an easy task but glad I did it. I'llthink twice, three times before tinting windows again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 @XV Pilot Or anyone. Can you confirm converting a TA-02 to TA-02SW is as simple as fitting TA-01 rear lower arms and flipping them? I'd like to fit a 911 GT2 shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) You can shorten the wheelbase of a TA-02 with flipped TA-01 arms, but the width comes from the extra wide rear wheels. Edited August 13, 2018 by XV Pilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does shorten it enough to allow the 911 gt2 shell to fit? 236mm? I will be using the 32mm rear wide wheels to get the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yes indeed - this is how the TA02SW 911 GT2 kits are supplied, with a 236mm wheelbase shell and chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You XV, makes finding a TA-02SW chassis a lot cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 No probs. One thing I should mention - you probably know already - if you aren't running turnbuckles you'll need the TA-01 upper arms too. Luckily they come on the same sprue as the lower ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
