The TT02 Rally Car got an upgrade

And it was 😂 Some poor soul bent a bike or an ankle coming down here I reckon and put the sign up 👍

And the prize for the best packaging today goes to Huina with the 1583 front loader,, delivered very early this morning will report back in the next few days with out it goes

So my esc and motor turned up today, so fitted them both, bit of a tight squeeze but managed to fit it all without having to modify the chassis, just had to take a tiny notch out the bottom of the upper plate for the esc capacitors. Am really happy with how it turned out, had to cut out the shell for the yeah racing double fan but knew I would have to and it looks quite mean I think. anyway will see how it goes on the morrow!!

A pretty heavy bit of kit too, not sure mu workbench will like it with this and the excavator and dump truck when I have them as well 😂

Shortened the lead on my servo in the race buggy, makes it all nice and neat.

Hi guys, neewbie here, I am humbllying trying to learn as much as possible about this world 🙂 so any comment positive or negative is welcome I always wanted to get into RC when I was a kid, now I have finally bit the bullet and ordered a Tamiya Neo Scorcher Buggy (TT-02B) as my first car, what do you think? I was looking for a beginner model to build myself and get started

Low and slow. Lol Waiting for the 1.9 tyres to arrive so I can swap it to them.and print the bed for it. Then it's sorted

That's a fine looking jeep m8 . I'm sure someone will want it just wish I had the funds .

@billyb_imp That is very nicely packaged! Looks like an awesome bit of kit mate

Spot on ran on 5s with my DeWalt motor no problems.

Run a castle MM2 in mine, bec goes sup to 7v

Managed to make my cheapo shocks work to an acceptable degree. I had to deliberately make them sloppy with loads of plays around the shaft. They'll do until I get something better and they don't perform any better or worse than the standard items. I've heard good things about the Carisma shocks so will probably end up ordering more stuff. Again. Then I'll need shock oil. I know nothing about shock oil. Down another rabbit hole i go...

Its moving the battery forward, so its ontop / infront of the transmission case.

Nice simple servo swap. This is what was in it: So got a spare. Next question. Does anyone make an upgraded brushed ESC for these with 7.4v BEC?

Finally broke the zorro brushless. Does anyone have a manual...?

Good vid mate thx for showing it

Right…. Spent hours trawling eBay and found some shocks that were nearly exactly the same length (4mm shorter than stock) they were a slightly bigger bore but not as big as the last lot. Also came in the lovely dark blue. I am a bit of a tart for anodising!! They feel 100 times better than the stock ones so will see how they perform when I go bashing tomorrow. Have ordered a hobbywing max10 esc and 4000kvh motor combo which is coming Tuesday, have probably gone a bit overboard with the motor and it will tear itself to pieces but what the hey!!

A flat ally chassis is a piece of flat ally, it's prone to bending, they all are. My X2 is still straight, but that's because it's been jumped, not sent. The Super 5sc gets sent with it's TVPs, I've yet to bend that. Traxxas haven't solved anything, the chassis will bend, the sintered crown gears will explode, the ESC will smoke and the servo will last six runs.

Hold on... Traxxas have worked out you need bigger diffs in a 1/8 than in a 1/10 ..... wow. Who knew....

the steering servo will plug into ch1 and the esc/ speed controller will plug into channel 2. black is negative - , red is positive + and white is signal s. hope that helps 🙂

So, this is what happened Few photos, but they don't tell the story. REALLY hoping a new chassis solves it!
