Also asked in the club now if someone's willing to cut and maybe paint it (as dumb as i am, i only just now realised that i should ask there too).

m4inbrain Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Small update (last post on that matter, sorry) - the guy got back to me, shell painted and cut around 100 euros (plus shipping there and back, probably another £20-£30). Cheapest offer so far, but not immensely far off what i'd pay in the UK (especially considering potential VAT charges/duty if declared as gift). The one thing that makes me consider it though, is this. If he can actually replicate Midnight Purple, i might just bite the bullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Midnight purple is gorgeous! But for an R34 it must be Bayside Blue or Millenium Jade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totlxtc Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Yup. If it was an R33 then id do purple. R34 to me is always the blue. R32 would be white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 R32 would be Gun Grey Metallic for me, R33 Midnight Purple, R34 Silver. Bayside Blue is okay, Millenium Jade is hideous to me. You gotta keep in mind though, my shell isn't a GTR. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's people who would, but if i had an R34 GT-R, i'd probably find something less valuable to slide around a bit. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) May as well make these runners! First up the SRX needed a servo! I also trimmed the body posts. Honestly! Tidied the wires best I could. Gave the SRX a profile on my NB4. Edited May 17, 2023 by Kpowell911 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Now onto the R, which I only bought for a bodyshell/wheels remember! 🙄 I picked up an SRT Servo for it, but I also had a brand new 1060ESC and a Tamiya TZ Motor. I know the TZ isnt typically an on road motor but hey. I have an RZ motor coming tomorrow if needbe. Now I know some of you are think why brushed? Well I think I may actually use this, in the Tamiya Club Postal Races, and I think this will be a nice set up. It also qualifies for the sub £200 Rally Car, admitedly with a motor change. So anyway. Tamiya Motors are a work of art. Look at the box! Edited May 17, 2023 by Kpowell911 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Now. Ive named this thread TT-02 Content but no comparisons. Not used them yet but bare in mind the SRX in its current state is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than the humble R. But They do look good compared to the humble base TT dont they? Obviously performance is going to be wildly different, but Im bizarely confident Im going go enjoy the R just as much if not more than the SRX. I also may pick up a Long Tie Rod Steering set for the SRX and put the bling one on the R. Im going go pick up a TT-02D (R34 GTR) shortly, and keep all 3 and keep them till theyre worth a fortune like the 959 and Avante…… thats a joke BTW Edited May 17, 2023 by Kpowell911 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Switched to an RZ for the TT02R, I believe thr RZ is more suited to touring cars? I have all 3 for some reason?! Ready to go And ran it!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These seem very powerful for 23T motors. Ill more then likely put the brushless out the SRX in the R at one point for a run. Ill GPS it next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I have read these motors are particularly good, and finely tuned but its nice have a real world example 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Id want anything more in a TT-02 but I do need to use the new Hobbywing Set Up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 So decided to see how fast the TT02R was. Set up is a 1060 ESC, Superstock RZ motor (23t) and a 2S Lipo. Im running a 22t Pinion. Im also on Rally Blocks which arent ideal. Because Lancia Delta Obviously I done the speed run on a smooth car park, not the above gravel...... I also removed the wing because it broke after one roll over. End result was 25mph I then spent the next 25 mins hooning about in the gravel and even getting some air time. Motor wasnt too hot after this so Im going to gear up quite a lot (27t) and go again. Then it may be brushless time 🙂 Really enjoyed that peaceful little hoon. Even if I forgot it was half term and the kids were off..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shergar Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I actually thought it might be quicker, but then rally blocks must add drag? Still thats a fair speed for a square box in 2S, appreciate the speed testing 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still thats a fair speed for a square box in 2S, appreciate the speed testing 👍 I think its under geared. Ill try again in the week with a bigger pinion. I think this has the high speed gear set, so may be able to gear 27/64 Truth be told it dont need to be any quicker. Weve been ruined by 60mph RTRs. This was just as much fun. Or Im getting old.

Kpowell911 Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) So rather than steal parts of my SRX I decided to leave as is and order new parts. I ordered an RW 27t Pinion, in hindsight I should have got a 26 or 28 in order to have some options as the SRX has a 27 but hey. Also, the steering is horrific. Everyone says this about TT's but it shows how little Ive used them as this is maybe my 10th TT-01/02 and Ive never know this to be an issue. Its sloppy and doesnt return to centre. I have the "upgraded" servo saver on my SRX but wanted to leave that there. I see people glue the stock servo saver (so you dont have one) so thought Ill just try a metal servo horn. Amazon got me 5 for around 5 quid delivered within 24 hours. Not condoning this, as you obviously risk breaking a servo (hence the word Saver) however it is what it is. The angles not great but it appears to work ok so itll do for now. When the pinion arrives Ill give it another run Edited June 5, 2023 by Kpowell911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGP Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A thread revival but I have been reading this thread with interest and I'm impressed with how good those SuperStock motors perform. I have a few brand new SuperStock BZ, TZ, RZ and GT Tuned motors just sitting in boxes however, after following this thread I've just sourced and purchased a new Tamyia 47326 TT-02R Chassis Kit. Time to hunt down the Tamiya TT-02 Adjustable Upper Arm Set to make that suspension adjustable... I feel a Skyline 2000GT vibe coming with perhaps some drift tyres? 🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
