Lot's of Tamiya articles at www.TheRcRacer.com as myself and others race them. It's a great chassis, I would look at this for a good base set-up. http://www.thercracer.com/2017/04/brca-2017-r1-wlrc-daniel-bookers.html

I've got one of these. It's great fun I'll do a write up on my site

Hi All
I'm after a cheap Tamiya F1 chassis for a friend who wants to dabble in the hobby. Anything considered even old F102's just a roller is needed. Let me know what you have.

Here is my build of the TRF419. It's a very cool top end TC
-
It could work, but I doubt it would really help as the cage crushes from the centre when the axle absorbs a crash. The Flange is for the outside.
-
The Ta05 is still a very good racer at club level and in the right hands it can battle with the best. It's better on tight indoor circuits than larger ones though (Although most clubs are pretty tight)
You can still buy all the parts for them, including gear diffs which mean you have a lot less maintenance.
The TA05 also is a great drifter, its easy to counter steer with the pulleys on that car.
so in all it's a top chassis, and its good at what ever you want to do with it

Hi Guys,
I've been out of my comfort zone and been racing the M05 v2. Loverly little car with a lot of nice tweaks. Anyone else race them?

Thanks

The ARC is really something special, in this day and age it's becoming great when racing TC as there are a lot of good choices.
-
I wouldn't call an all-plastic drivetrain robust. Light, yes. Efficient? With bushings coming as stock? Nope.
You do need to fit bearings on the TT02, however The TC4 also came with bushings when it was released.
-
looks great! have fun with it
-
I never actually got on with the TC4. The TC3 was a great chassis, and still is quite capable in the right hands. The TC4 was never really seemed to be as good (Or maybe others just caught up quicker). I remember the diffs needed a lot of attention, and the plastic axles would smash even if they looked at a corner marker.
The TT02S combines the best of the TT02 (efficient, light and robust drive train), and it also has the TRF / TA05ifs suspension, which is strong and handles well. Parts are also easy to get).
-
Yep, the TT02 Type S will be out soon, it will be better than the TC4 and parts will be easily available. (It doesn't come with a shell, but it comes with TRF suspension arms adjustable turnbuckles, oil shocks and bearings (it also inludes a motor, although I do not know if the Eu version will have a ESC included.
-
I would get a TT02 over a TT01. Its a good little platform. It's not as racy as the Tc4 is more race ready but the TT02 is much more versitile.

you can also make it pretty good at the track over time (although its not a cheap option)

Had issues with both spektrum and even KO Moved to the Sanwa and its fantastic.
-
I hope to get down to at least one, but its an epic drive. Although I really enjoyed my days racing last year.
-
I only raced mine with up to 13.5 boosted. Although even TC mod drivers use plastic gears so I would imagine they will be ok. Honestly though a good 10.5 is rapid nowadays
-
This has taken me ages, and also ensured I have thick skin when turning up at a club to race instead of my TRF418
http://www.thercracer.com/2014/08/tamiya-tt02-guide-mods-tuning-and-tips.html
Lots there, hope you like it.

Yep thats fine, just check that you have fitted them in a cross pattern with the screws and also no over tightened them. As long as they move ok they should be good.
-
The new manual should show you the right way to build the car, the first one you could build the bulkheads out of alignment. If you check my build on www.thercracer.com that is the correct way, and I think Tamiya has changed the manual to do it in that order now

Enjoy it, they are a great car
-
The Tamiya TB04 is a good club level car, especially the TB04 pro (The V2 has the TRF418 suspension on it).

-
Yep, one coming soon (Tb Evo 6 first).
They take a while and real life commitments are slowing me down a bit

Yes it's a straight fit. You do need to take the motor guard/scoop of the TT02 although I dont know anyone that ever fits than on the TT02 anyway.
