    Just got one of these. With a Tamiya 17.5t Brushless motor on 2s and using a 19t pinion I got a top end of 17 mph. Having dynoed the motor the 17.5 turn only put out 18000 or so rpm which is lower than the torque tuned. Going to try a 15.5 soon.

  • @ericwood2790
    @ericwood2790 4 роки тому +6

    Looks nice I actually like it , the BZ motor , bearings and the high speed gear set would make a big difference. The thing I don’t like about the tt-02 is how much debris gets into the chassis when your driving it . Great video Glenn . Time to get serious and do some upgrades 👍

  • @pcaunceuk
    @pcaunceuk 4 роки тому +2

    Great video as always. I'm liking this TT02B. I bought a DF-02 a few weeks back with the same bodyshell so this video has bumped it up towards the top of the restoration ladder. I'm a big fan of the TT01 chassis and I've been thinking of adding a TT02 to the collection. After watching this I think a TT02-B is now a must-have..!! Keep up the great work Glen... 👍

    I agree, that looks really cool and a well balanced buggy. With a few hop ups, i.e bearings and quicker motor I think it could put in some quick lap times at the track.
    I too would like to see some GPS speed times before and after bearings. I think bearings would improve the speed and throttle response quite a lot.

    Hi Glenn! I looked this vid. You need to upgrazthe tt-02... It's awesome at the end. I updated the speed gear and some Carbon fun. And it needs a alloy shaft. I runn it on a 17t modelcraft cheep motor but fast like hell. Also i locked the front diff.

  • @Mini-z1994
    @Mini-z1994 4 роки тому +2

    Adjustable turnbuckles, ball bearings, perhaps undertray, bit stiffer shocks.
    The tt02b tends too flip forward in jumps so watch out for that.
    I'd wait with the aluminium propshaft until you upgrade the power on this it should hold up for a brushed motor still, specially with low grip.
    If you can measure the motor temperatures at the next video feel free to do so too see if you can go up in pinion gear size on the tt02b without it affecting the stock motor temperatures very much.

    Great video as always Glen. Been waiting for this one to see how mine compared. Looks like we came to the same conclusion. Needs a bit more grunt and turning circle is a bit wide. Already put a speed precision 10.5t and Hobbywing 10BL60 sensored brushless setup in mine and it rips pretty good now. Got a motor mount to fit and then I'm going to look at strengthening the internals I think. Be interesting to see what upgrade path you take.

      @@TAMIYALegends I am a brushed guy. The switch of my TEU302BK is broken and i change this ESC for a Dynatech 02H upgrade to a german LRP F1 Bullet ESC. This ESC have a powermeter, so you can trim the power from turtle to warp drive. At the Moment i use the Graupner Speed 500 BB Race VS (Dynatech 01R). Now i know why this esc have the Name Bullet. You have so much more power on the Motor. If you have the Chance to change your esc to a nowak or other race esc´s, do it.

    Im sure Tamiya intended for you to fork out for all the hop ups costing more than the car itself

    Nice car, but you need to throw those bushings in the trash and get some rubber-sealed bearings!

    Good little buggy. Looking forward to get this little sprinter. With brushless motor and some experiments.
    But shakiness of the video makes me dizzy. Get a gimbal or a cameraperson :-)

      The purpose of a hobby grade off-road RC buggy is to drive wherever and however you want. There's no right or wrong way to drive the car. Moreover, this video is supposed to be a test run. The video maker just demonstrated how the car performed after he's completed building it straight out of the box, and gave his opinion on it.
