I started my tt02r ,I'm enjoying the build and this video. I was worried about the diffs having plastic gears but every Arrma and Hpi car we have with metal diffs has chewed them up . The 3s cars with plastic gears no problems ever . These tt02 cars seem very tough and you guys have proven that. I'm already looking at building another one. Rally car next time, your rally cars go great. Thanks for the video guys , learning heaps.
Hi Peter, firstly, I'm sorry you didn't get a reply earlier, I did type a reply but youtube seems to have deleted or removed it! This is happening more and more lately! :-/ I hope your build is going well, that is such a great kit. The plastic diff gears are fine, but the bevel gears on the end of the propshaft can slip if you go too crazy with a much more powerful motor. I'd keep to 13.5T brushless as a maximum. Oh yeah, you know I love my rally cars mate! :O)
Nice to follow along on these old builds of yours, Mark! I'm sort of watching them while also working, more like entertainment, he he... I still haven't figured what all the TT-02 variants are, except B for buggy, of course... Maybe S is for speed? That would be great, ha ha!
Cool, thanks again mate! Hehe, at least you find them entertaining and that means a lot to me! Not sure what the letters stand for, I think R is for racing and S is for sport. Good luck with your search for knowledge my friend!
Great build Mark! It's always a joy to watch you and Rob building chassis! There will some be a new TT02 in my collection. Fortunately I already can build those rigs by heart :D
Thanks Charlie! Ahh - you can't have too many Tamiya's my friend - at least it will be a fast build without needing to study the manual! Have a lovely weekend buddy! : )
Mark Bryan RC Hi Mark, great video. I’m new to this RC world and trying to work out what should be my next build. If you ever want to do a video on the different chassis I’d be grateful. Or even some advice on where to find some information for newbies. TT02, TT02-D, DF03 I’m confused. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Kelvin. Yes, it is very confusing to begin with, I know. Good idea about a video covering the different Tamiya chassis - I will look into that, but I don't think I have all of the types to do a proper comparison, but I could use what I have got. I do try to outline the major differences when I do an unbox or build. You Tube is a great place to start, there are some very good channels that give a lot of information, but it will take time trawling through all the content to find out what you need. Nordic RC Visions has some great overviews of a lot of Tamiya chassis based cars, I recommend looking there for a start. The TT chassis series is an entry level 4WD range, the DF and TA is mid range 4WD and the XV and TRF are higher end - and the prices go up accordingly. Type S and Type R are more aimed at racing series and the - D is for a drift chassis. If I can help with a specific question you might have, I will do my best to help. All the best from Mark... : )
Hello and good evening Mark. Finally I have had the time to watch your Build Video and have enjoyed it very much as always. I really like the great Hop Up Options. Not only because they looks very good, but because of their durability. I'm really looking forward to Part 2 and wish you and Rob (who has done an excellent camera work) a nice and relaxing weekend.
Hello and good day to you Harry, I hope you are well! So pleased you were able to watch the video, I always look forward to your thoughtful comments. Yes, the hop-ups included with the Type S are the reason I went for this kit, and I'm glad I did! And Rob is awesome with that Handycam! I hope your weekend is just as peaceful, too! : )
Thanks, Shane - yes this kit is proving to be a nice build, I will be trying to adapt the suspension for rally use in the next one - enjoy your Sunday! : )
Very well done! The build up and then how this magnificent piece ended was incredible! Can't wait until the next one! Keep on keeping on and kicking out marvelously done works like this!
Thanks very much for the great comment, Jake! Your encouragement is really appreciated. The Type-S is a very enjoyable build, not too tricky and goes together beautifully. Part 2 coming soon my friend! :)

Many thanks, SB RC! I appreciate your kind words. Yes, making a video of a Tamiya build is a lot more effort than just building it off-camera! All the best from Mark :-)
Nice one Mark. Looking good so far. You were saying previously that you can't change the wheelbase on this so no good for the Datsun 240Z as it needs the shorter one. Be good if you can confirm the wheelbase when you get to the point where the hubs are on. Rob must have the patience of a saint to hold the camera while you build all these kits. Either that or you are bribing him with beer. Seems like you both have a bit of a laugh doing it. Glad to see that you have used the half term wisely. Any plans this weekend other than doing more of this kit and drinking beer ?
Cheers Pete! I will definitely let you know the wheelbase, it really didn't change as far as I can see when I flipped the bottom wishbones. Yeah, Rob is amazing, well he has put up with me for the last 30 years so he can certainly last a 20 minute video!!! He doesn't drink like me, so saves me a fortune! Great half term break, just more of the same this weekend, beer and RC cars! : )
@@MarkBryanRC ooh beer and RC cars, my favourite things 😀 Got an RC session in the New Forest with Ricardo tomorrow afternoon so looking forward to that. Have a good one mate 😀
Hello Marco - the grease that Tamiya supply with the kit is supposed to be enough to do the whole build. You should have enough in the kit. I always apply more because you can never apply too much grease! :)
I put the tube of grease that came in the kit and looked like a yellowish grease and i noticed i put a little bit of it and is that ok that apply in the differentials?
Wow! I want to find those Suspension bits separately. They look SO much better than bog standard TT-02 wishbones!!! 👍👍😎 This is just going to be more interesting, with the upgrade bits as this goes along!! Cheers, Carmine 🚂 🚙
Hey Carmine - thanks for tuning in mate! Yes, the suspension setup is really nice, and so much of a better design than the standard car, let's hope it brings better performance too - I am really looking forward to driving this little beauty! : )
Am waiting for my blue anodised aluminium drive shaft for my Wltoys A959, it's taking ages to come, love this build video Mark, great Job as usual mate 👍😍👍
Hey Tony - hope it comes soon mate! The blue anodised parts are always a nice addition to your car - bling bling! Good performance advantage too - thanks for the great comment and happy RCing my friend! : )
Hi Aaron - it's a no brainer, buddy! Go for the S kit and you get about £150+ of hop up parts included, it would cost over 3x as much to get a standard kit and add the hop-ups separately! Thanks for watching, and Seasons Greetings to you! :O)
To build this and follow this series what exactly do I need to buy? Can you please list all parts step by step for a complete newbie. TT02 type S chassis 1/10 model shell for TT02 What else?
Hi Jason. From memory, you don't need much else! To add to your list, to do the chassis you need: ESC (I used the Tamiya TBLE-02s) Steering servo radio receiver (optional) alloy propshaft and alloy drive cups I think everything else is in the kit! Because I built mine for rally, I also got a set of Rally Block tyres.
Thanks Steve! Yeah, quite a few differences! I like the Tamiya antiwear grease too, but it's expensive and I haven't got any left!!! It's so thick, I agree it would be great in any open diff - thanks for the tip Bro! : )
Sorry, Ethan, the only tip I know is the one you have tried! Very strange - I have many TT-02's and have never had a problem with the ring gears, hope you get it sorted soon! All the best from Mark...
I'm a bit late getting here but I enjoyed this Mark. Lots of handy verbal and visual tips. Some which I'm sure will come in useful for my Plasma build, when I eventually get round to doing it. Superb camera work by Rob. The man with steel arms and the steadiest hands in Brum. Has he got a built in gyro ; ))
Thanks Derek - glad you caught this one, a bit slow, I know, but you can't rush a Tamiya build! Yes, Rob is awesome on that Sony Handycam, he knows me so well that he seems to focus on the bit I'm ABOUT to talk about! Uncanny - I am very lucky to have him as a friend! And you to mate - hope you are keeping well my friend! : )
Many thanks! As for your question, yes I often use automotive lithium or moly grease on my kit builds. It's so cheap and does a good job. When building the diffs you can pack them to the top with grease and they work a treat! Cheers!
Oh! Very sorry - scrap that first comment! I used automotive molybdenum grease and packed the diffs to the top with it - silky smooth differentials! :))
Hello. Very new to it all. I'm yet to buy a kit. I'm debating weather to go with the tt02d or the sakura d4... but I have a quick question. If I buy a kit but I am struggling with building, would model shops help out with me building it ?
Well, I can only speak of my own experiences, but here, model shops do not offer much help. But there is a fantastic community of people here on UA-cam that will always help you if you ask - me included! And there are so many helpful videos if you look around, I hope you find the help you need my friend, happy RCing! :))
Hi Tomas - no they are the same width my friend - it looks like the Type-S is wider because the suspension arms are longer, but they extend right into the wheels, unlike the standard version! All the best, Cheers! :)
loooved it, Mark! Especially the part where Mr. Brennan is laughing at you ;-) Great vid. Must say I also loved if because of personal interest (got a TT-02B XB and a TT-02B NIB so I've never built a TT-02). That BB26 was interesting in itself. I've always thought of that hole in the chassis as a reinforcement for the suspension mounts/shafts (an improvement compared to the DF-02 and other predecessor-chassis' that don't have it) but apparently it can be used for other things as well. Ohh, and I think I was one of the people asking about molybdenum - so I have another question: Why the ceramic grease on the spur/pinion then? Because the pinion is metal? Or because of the heat? I got some Tamiya kits that supplied the molybdenum for metal gears.
Very pleased that you enjoyed the video, Mikael, thanks for watching my friend. Hehe - Rob and I do like a bit of fun - it is a hobby after all, and nobody's life is at risk! Yes, the hole in the chassis has lots of adaptors for different suspension systems, you will find a different one for the TT-02B. I like the way these are designed to allow for different toe-in angles. As for the grease, yes I generally use my big tub of lithium-moly for most applications, I find it is fine on the pinion/spur too. However, as this kit comes with the two types, and Tamiya recommend the ceramic for the pinion/spur, I decided to use it. Tamiya doesn't give a reason, but I have read that ceramic greases are specially formulated for high pressure/high temperature applications. I think you made a good guess at the heat reason, as the motor will heat up the metal pinion, the diffs certainly should not become hot!
@@MarkBryanRC Ahh yes, that is what I've been told (maybe by you?) or read - that the ceramic is good for high temp/heat. So, the molybdenum is good for both metal and plastic. ha ha, no, let's hope our diffs aren't spinning as fast as our pinion :-)
Hi Thomas - no, you don't need those hop-up parts for the propshaft, you can just use the plastic parts that come with the kit. Hope this helps, enjoy the build! :)
I’ve literally just ordered a tt02b neo scorcher at the time of this upload haha. Nice video and I’ll keep an eye on these videos😁notification bell turned on of course. Thanks for sharing mate 😂😁👍👍
Cheers, Dan! You will love the Neo Scorcher, I have a couple of well-worn examples, they are a great little buggy and take some serious bashing - have fun mate! : )
Mark Bryan RC I’m going to make it a faster car and I’ve ordered some metal upgrades but what motor should I put in it. I watched the video where you soldered a 17.5t brushless into the neo scorcher but I never found the speed video. Was it fast and would the 13.5t version go faster?
Hi Dan - I haven't done a speed test on the Neo Scorcher yet, you have reminded me that I need to do that one this year! TBH the 17.5 isn't much faster than the Torque Tuned, you need higher gearing, but it is way smoother and the batteries last twice as long. My blue Scorcher with the 13.5 is a lot faster, but you still need to gear it up as far as you can, I have a 20T pinion and it will still pull more. Also, I'm using the TBLE ESC, which I think limits power somewhat. Fast enough for me though!
Mark Bryan RC yeah, I’ve got the high speed gear set aswell and I don’t think I’m going to change the esc because every esc I find there are cases of fire after short use, that throws me off but I think the 64spur with a 13.5 and 2s Lipo should be enough for high speeds. If not I’ll find the biggest pinion I can haha, cheers mate👍
Hey Dan - sounds like you got a good plan! I totally agree with the changes you are making, should go like stink! I like that you are not going too mad with it - any more and you'll start stripping those plastic diff gears!
Mark I'm quite new to rc but can you comment on the use of Moly Grease. Moly grease information states not to use it on plastic because of its oil based compounds. Are Tamiya plastics different?
Hi Andrew, good question! Yes, I have read that there are types of plastic that will slowly deteriorate over time if treated with oil based products. However, as Tamiya include tubes of moly grease in some of their kits for application to plastic gears, I assume that Tamiya parts are unaffected by the moly. I have used moly grease in my kits for many years, and have not had a failure of the coated parts. But if you are unsure, there are many non-oil based grease products to choose from. 👍😊
@@asimchaudhry It's made by Tamiya so I think it is good quality and not too strong - I have had no problems using it, but if you are concerned then use the other one you have. :)
I was thinking about getting one of these kits at a good price. Bearing, shocks & drive - shafts as the upgrades. So is the kit worthwhile ?? Awesome build vid 💯👍 Cheers 🍻 building the kit , is most of the fun for me .
Thanks for the great comment - and yes, the TT-02-S is definitely recommended by me, it's one of my favourites. It comes complete with the metal bearings, metal driveshafts and cups, and oil shocks - no need to buy them! I agree, the build is a big part of the fun of our hobby. :)
Hehe - thanks my mate! No way am I gonna sack that gut, have you seen how good his camerawork is? Just awesome dude! I'm hoping I can help him out one day and pay him back with a spot of my (inferior) camera operating skills LOL!!! All the best my friend, catch you laters! :-)
Hehe - yes, something like that! Well, as you know, Alf is my son, and as a teenager he got a bit bored of filming his dad prattling on about toy cars! No, seriously, he is studying hard for his GCSE's (bless him) and doesn't have much time to spare - although he has mentioned doing some shooting with Rob and me in the summer holidays. I really hope he does, plus he's a bloody good RC driver and I could film him giving one of my cars a good thrashing!
Haha mate! So glad it wasn't just me! It took blooming ages to get that bumper and screws through into the plastic - off camera of course - good job as there was lots of swearing! Thanks for the comment mukka!

Ohh, and I think I was one of the people asking about molybdenum - so I have another question: Why the ceramic grease on the spur/pinion then? Because the pinion is metal? Or because of the heat? I got some Tamiya kits that supplied the molybdenum for metal gears.
I never use that moly grease it just is to messy for me!
Very pleased that you enjoyed the video, Mikael, thanks for watching my friend. Hehe - Rob and I do like a bit of fun - it is a hobby after all, and nobody's life is at risk! Yes, the hole in the chassis has lots of adaptors for different suspension systems, you will find a different one for the TT-02B. I like the way these are designed to allow for different toe-in angles. As for the grease, yes I generally use my big tub of lithium-moly for most applications, I find it is fine on the pinion/spur too. However, as this kit comes with the two types, and Tamiya recommend the ceramic for the pinion/spur, I decided to use it. Tamiya doesn't give a reason, but I have read that ceramic greases are specially formulated for high pressure/high temperature applications. I think you made a good guess at the heat reason, as the motor will heat up the metal pinion, the diffs certainly should not become hot!
@@MarkBryanRC Ahh yes, that is what I've been told (maybe by you?) or read - that the ceramic is good for high temp/heat. So, the molybdenum is good for both metal and plastic. ha ha, no, let's hope our diffs aren't spinning as fast as our pinion :-)
Hehe - I get where you're coming from Steve - it is nasty black stuff! :D
Hello im buying the same kit , are the first 2 packets you showed needed?
Hi Thomas - no, you don't need those hop-up parts for the propshaft, you can just use the plastic parts that come with the kit. Hope this helps, enjoy the build! :)
@@MarkBryanRC ahh ok thanks ! Should be here before the weekend :) have a local rc circuit near me so its going to be a onroad build.
I’ve literally just ordered a tt02b neo scorcher at the time of this upload haha. Nice video and I’ll keep an eye on these videos😁notification bell turned on of course. Thanks for sharing mate 😂😁👍👍
Cheers, Dan! You will love the Neo Scorcher, I have a couple of well-worn examples, they are a great little buggy and take some serious bashing - have fun mate! : )
Mark Bryan RC I’m going to make it a faster car and I’ve ordered some metal upgrades but what motor should I put in it. I watched the video where you soldered a 17.5t brushless into the neo scorcher but I never found the speed video. Was it fast and would the 13.5t version go faster?
Hi Dan - I haven't done a speed test on the Neo Scorcher yet, you have reminded me that I need to do that one this year! TBH the 17.5 isn't much faster than the Torque Tuned, you need higher gearing, but it is way smoother and the batteries last twice as long. My blue Scorcher with the 13.5 is a lot faster, but you still need to gear it up as far as you can, I have a 20T pinion and it will still pull more. Also, I'm using the TBLE ESC, which I think limits power somewhat. Fast enough for me though!
Mark Bryan RC yeah, I’ve got the high speed gear set aswell and I don’t think I’m going to change the esc because every esc I find there are cases of fire after short use, that throws me off but I think the 64spur with a 13.5 and 2s Lipo should be enough for high speeds. If not I’ll find the biggest pinion I can haha, cheers mate👍
Hey Dan - sounds like you got a good plan! I totally agree with the changes you are making, should go like stink! I like that you are not going too mad with it - any more and you'll start stripping those plastic diff gears!
Mark
I'm quite new to rc but can you comment on the use of Moly Grease.
Moly grease information states not to use it on plastic because of its oil based compounds.
Are Tamiya plastics different?
Hi Andrew, good question!
Yes, I have read that there are types of plastic that will slowly deteriorate over time if treated with oil based products. However, as Tamiya include tubes of moly grease in some of their kits for application to plastic gears, I assume that Tamiya parts are unaffected by the moly. I have used moly grease in my kits for many years, and have not had a failure of the coated parts. But if you are unsure, there are many non-oil based grease products to choose from. 👍😊
Keep going on
Cheers!!!! :D
Hi. Do you use tamiya thread lock? I have the tamiya AG (red) one and also have the tubed blue one. Which one should I use?
Hi. Yes I do use Tamiya thread lock, the AG but I don't think it really matters which you use. 🙃👍
@@MarkBryanRC I was told the red one is too strong. Is thst true?
@@asimchaudhry It's made by Tamiya so I think it is good quality and not too strong - I have had no problems using it, but if you are concerned then use the other one you have. :)
I was thinking about getting one of these kits at a good price. Bearing, shocks & drive - shafts as the upgrades. So is the kit worthwhile ?? Awesome build vid 💯👍 Cheers 🍻 building the kit , is most of the fun for me .
Thanks for the great comment - and yes, the TT-02-S is definitely recommended by me, it's one of my favourites. It comes complete with the metal bearings, metal driveshafts and cups, and oil shocks - no need to buy them! I agree, the build is a big part of the fun of our hobby. :)
Nice start to the build series Mark. But I would sack that camera man for laughing and sniggering. Hope he didn't cost too much? 😎
Hehe - thanks my mate! No way am I gonna sack that gut, have you seen how good his camerawork is? Just awesome dude! I'm hoping I can help him out one day and pay him back with a spot of my (inferior) camera operating skills LOL!!! All the best my friend, catch you laters! :-)
@@MarkBryanRC But what happen to your former camera man Alf ? Did he quit because of low pay and found better jobs elsewhere ? :)
Hehe - yes, something like that! Well, as you know, Alf is my son, and as a teenager he got a bit bored of filming his dad prattling on about toy cars! No, seriously, he is studying hard for his GCSE's (bless him) and doesn't have much time to spare - although he has mentioned doing some shooting with Rob and me in the summer holidays. I really hope he does, plus he's a bloody good RC driver and I could film him giving one of my cars a good thrashing!
Perfekt!
Thanks very much! : )
I bought long suspension arms to modify my stock TT02
These arms are more expensive than a stock TT02
The Type-S suspension arms are far better quality than stock!
😀👍
😀👍
the only thing i was steaming over was fitting the rear arms , not easy with two hands .. and if once wasn't enough i built two of these ..lol
Haha mate! So glad it wasn't just me! It took blooming ages to get that bumper and screws through into the plastic - off camera of course - good job as there was lots of swearing! Thanks for the comment mukka!
@@MarkBryanRC perhaps you should build an xray 2019 t4 , much better experience .... i know i know your a tamiya fan .. :P
Thanks for the info - I have never seen that kit (being a Tamiya fan!!!) - but I will check it out! : )
@@MarkBryanRC i have an unboxing video on my channel latest upload
Cheers matey - been and looked at that already! :)
👍
Thanks Chris - hope all is well - have a smashing weekend mate! : )
Great Channel, great reviews...much greater videos of your/the cars. But please...when the "Hand-Cam" is on, clean your "Smoking Finger" ^^ :))
Hehe - thanks bud, really pleased you like the channel, your words are very much appreciated. ...and I thought someone might comment about that when I first watched this video back - the paint on my finger hehe!!! But seriously - scrubbing brush at the ready!!! : )
@@MarkBryanRC ...my self beeing a long time smoker...now nearly 5-6 years without...but back in the days...Lemonjuice helped me out..hehe!
But now back to your, to our great hobby...Go On With Your Nice Channel Buddy...
Good on ya Bud - I need some of your willpower! Respect to you - thanks for the lemon juice tip! Yeah, love this, our hobby - and a very good weekend to you! : )
