@@eekrc I think many buy these kits because of a special body and aren't so much interested in tuning. But ball bearings, oil filled shocks and the msin drive train are absolutely necesarry.
just built my first stock TT02, seems so bulletproof, the steering seemed stiff but the servo was able to handle that, got the TT02 SRX, hope the steering comes out better, looks like a great deal the TT02R, great price, I actually prefer the friction shocks, because the way the car bounces, but I will of course use the oil shocks.
Yeah, the friction shocks look fun. But that first time you hit a small bump, and you lose control and scratch or damage the body? You will be wishing you used oil dampers 😂 it is a good deal, I'll be building it soon. Might start it tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
hey,i’ve just build my first tamiya! it’s an tt02r model! now available for 99€ in germany! good deal i guess,i put a brushless system on it!🤩 can’t wait to drive and test it because that weather still real mess outhere!😢
Yes! That's awesome! Have fun with it...the great thing about the TT-02 chassis is that parts are so cheap, and always available. It will probably be a lot of fun with a brushless setup and those high speed gears. 👍
I was thinking about picking one up and doing a comparison video on that too. I think the best one to get is the Type SR. Best cost per usable hop ups included. But they are discontinued unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
@@Shinigamix07 In my opinion I would look for an XV-01/XV-02 or MF-01x chassis, they are more suited for rough terrain. The TT-02 is best lower to the ground on road. I've driven TT-02s off road, and I just wouldn't recommend it...rocks get in places and causes issues with the steering, and the drive shafts. You would probably spend more on parts making it a rally other than just buying the rally chassis kits too.
Everything is included, these kits are mostly plastic other than the hardware and hop-ups included. You need to buy a body, ESC, and motor. I have a video building the Toyota Celica. That might help you.
I just built a TT-02BR and now looking at a SRX or R for the hop ups but if you go with a cheap kit for under 100 and buy Yeah racing stuff it kicks the price to half of the hop ups! So yeah thats where im at but seeing as i have a F104 pro, TT-02BR, XV-01 Pro, I think it would make more sense to get the TT-02R instead of a Regular tt-02 for the collecting factor! I just made a vid myself got a couple of RC cars
Absolutely! The R kit is the way to go...I think it's the best bargain in the TT-02 kits. Adding hop ups separately gets so expensive...I learned my lesson the hard way... 😂
Whats the diff between this and the tt02d? I have the yellow honda civic arriving this friday and im going crazy excited - but this kit seems very neat!!!
@@BORGIEVENTURA Yes! Love the Civic body. The TT-02D comes with different hop up parts...Sport Tuned motor, motor heat sink, drift tires...I don't know all the differences but unless you are looking to drift it's not worth getting. The TT-02R or Type SR have better hop up parts.
@@BORGIEVENTURA Yes! I'm glad it helps, I'm always happy to hear that. The TT-02 kits are great. Cheap to buy, easy to build and repair. That is why there are so many out there. I appreciate you watching! If you have any other questions let me know.
Definitely looking at getting this kit, going to add a few extras as well but I’m very new so could use some advice. Going to add the oil differential unit but what I can’t find out is do I need 2? I thought I did but can’t find the answer anywhere
If you want to replace the front and rear diff with the oil diff then yes, you would need 2. I would recommend trying it with the original gear diffs and if you feel like you need an upgrade then do it. Also I use the Tamiya Anti-Wear grease for the diffs because it is thicker and sticks to the gears making them more "limited slip"...but everyone has their own preference. Either way it's a great kit. Thanks for watching!
Very good question, as far as I know they should be interchangeable, but you might need different hardware. Maybe you can look at the 2 manuals and see what's different.
In my opinion the R is better, I don't think the S comes with the hop up center drive shafts, motor mount, or high speed gear set. It does come with the frp uprights and better mounts for the suspension but the original one is stiff enough. Good question!
Right! At first I was thinking maybe the kit doesn't come with one? But that doesn't make sense. I have to call Tamiya, I'm sure they will send one out...if not I'll demand a TT-02SRX lol.
They put a lot of hop-ups into the kit. And really necesarry ones. I agree, this is definitivly woth buying.
Definitely a great deal. I would pay more if they added these hop-ups in the standard kit too. I'm surprised they haven't done that.

I ordered one and it arrives tomorrow!! I can't wait, lol. So here I am looking up everything on it. Making a speed run car with it
Nice! Perfect chassis kit to start with. Have fun with it! You going to be part of the Poor Boys RC speed challenge?
Just order a tt02 r super excited
Awesome! They are a lot of fun to work on and really stick to the road well. If you have any questions let me know. Have fun with the build!

What esc and motor did you put into it?
Can the TT-02R be built with a 251mm wheelbase? I want to put the new Tamiya GT 3 body on it.
Yes! 251 or 257...it's in the TT-02R manual.
I got the type s a bit less alloy but the geometry is much better and some of the trf parts will also fit...
I was thinking about picking one up and doing a comparison video on that too. I think the best one to get is the Type SR. Best cost per usable hop ups included. But they are discontinued unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
Would the R chassis be a good kit for a rally build?

Ist da wirklich alles dabei bei dem TT-02R Chassis Kit oder muß man noch Tuningteile dazukaufen? Ich sehe da noch viele Plastikteile......?

Hey buddy does it come with a pinion for the motor?
@@L.U.C.K.Y333 Yes! Mine came with a 27t pinion.
@@eekrc thank you
blue nuts sounds like a great deal? I had blue nuts once and it was very uncomfortable.
😂 Thank goodness it's not the nuts you are thinking about...that would definitely not be an upgrade.
There the same size right
@@andre9263 Yes, both 1/10th scale and 257mm wheelbase.
Sheesh, just blasted through a few videos, ive missed a lot on your channel! 🤦🏻♂️
Hey Rex! Thanks for watching! Hopefully you like some of them...wish I could post more but other life stuff gets in the way 😂
I just bought a used TT02R to go alongside my Fazer MK2. I was wondering, do the carbon shock towers for the S fit the R?
Very good question, as far as I know they should be interchangeable, but you might need different hardware. Maybe you can look at the 2 manuals and see what's different.
So, tt02s or tt02r who better?
In my opinion the R is better, I don't think the S comes with the hop up center drive shafts, motor mount, or high speed gear set. It does come with the frp uprights and better mounts for the suspension but the original one is stiff enough. Good question!
Strange, i got a bumper in my box

@@eekrc I have adapted and installed 2 new, larger bumpers (front and rear) in my RC car, so I can avoid major damage to the body!
Anyone know the difference between the TT-02S and the TT-02R as there isn’t much stock of the ‘R’ version in UK at moment seems to be more of the ‘S’
