It's nice to see people using Tamiya stuff for speed runs. It's a lot more challenging than making an Arrma Limitless go fast lol. I've been working on a TT02B speed run build. byuld.
It really is. I've finally started understanding how to help keep the cars from taking so much damage on bad wrecks too. That seemed the biggest set back with the Tamiyas at first. Waiting on parts after every crash definitely slowed progress down. It'll be awesome to see how you fair with the TT02B. I have 2 other TT-02's for speedruns but still need a TT-02B for high jumps(to see what it does) I'll look out for some of your TT-02B videos. That's a build I'm in to for sure.
@@shadow7037932 that looks awesome! I've been working on some steel shafts for my big motor TT-02 (TP Power 4070 motor). The carbon looks super trick though.
This is a great idea. I've been focusing on wood so I can overlay with epoxy and hopefully have something that I can use for carbon fiber bodies and well as vacuum formed polycarbonate. Would the wet carbon on 3D print work for that as well?
@@craziestmonkey yes. You can do a wet layup CF on wood mould. Just make sure to prep the mold with with a good mold release and practice with some fiberglass first lol.
It has handled well overall. It's also much heavier than a standard kit style build. That helps. I do find that the loose weights do seem to help as a hacked mass damper system.

@@craziestmonkey I just made a custom carbon fiber drive shaft for the TT02 a month or so ago. It's been working well. i.imgur.com/osb6vHw.jpg

Nice work on setting up these cars. I think the paint job on the body came out real nice.
Thank you. It's been fun trying to figure out these details.
Oh if you're looking in to making molds, look in to 3D printing them. Then do wet layup carbon fiber on top of the mold.

Nice! I wonder how much the pogo front shocks affect the overall performance of this model. Also, would you recommend alternative rubber tires for it?
