would be interesting in seeing some info JJ

there are lots of ebay options fro 12mm hex for £5 i'm only using for "bashing" (which i'm assuming is donuts and chaos in the street?) JJ

what about these>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Aluminum-7-0-Wheel-Hex-12mm-Drive-With-Pins-Screws-4P-HSP-HPI-Tamiya-Car-Blue-/152062440268?hash=item2367a0b34c:g:EusAAOSwiYFXGHIv JJ

sweet - thank you JJ

today = velcro, tie wraps and mud JJ

been velcroing and getting dirty haha JJ

steering is still binding to some degree and i don't know if its me doing it subconsciously or accidentally but the trim settings change ordered some alu bearings steering parts from Oz and an alu servo horn from china (99p whoop whoop) i'm loving the car though and its soooo fast but i'm so tempted to go LiPo and brushless (maybe thats a crimbo pressie) Poor monsterbeetle is unloved this week haha JJ

Looking good - how did the build go? Issues? Have you gone brushless yet? JJ

ok - ccol ta JJ

are the Hex 12mm?? i've seen them on ebay from china for under £5 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-10-RC-Wheel-Hex-12mm-x-4-Blue-HSP-102042-/172314408925?hash=item281ebd37dd:g:Ci8AAOSw3mpXF6FO JJ

can people post links to what they are buying etc..... its a minefield out there JJ

hi - sorry to drag up a 2yr old thread i too am having this issue of the steering not recentering onm my TT02B MS unless full left lock is applied its manageable but...... so am considering the steering hop up and also an alu servo horn - am i heading in the right direction? JJ

another Q if I may.... looking for screw spares (i have very few) can i jut buy screw bag C for the kit? (TT02B) JJ

Thanks - all reall valuable advice ill try and make sure my chargers go off when they are done - I know how volatile batteries can be (lithium sulphur I deal with at work and they need to be stored like you store munitions) JJ

Question RE chargers...... do they REALLY need turning off when the battery is charged? Given mine charge in the garage, i forget they are in there. JJ

very cool thread JJ

this is very true but i did used to like the "kick down" for top speed haha i guess the trouble is all the instructions with radio gear (i have 1 set of afhds cr3p and 3 sets of acoms technisport) and they are all soooo basic and don't really explain much so i'm fumbling my way through with help from the internet JJ

This is my garage.. i only have 3 cars (at the moment), the lunchbox is shelfware while the beetle is for thrashing around. The TT02B MS will soon become a neo scorcher and take the place of the hovercraft on the top shelf. I don't have many spare screws or parts (which I need desperately) but will utilise the work bench more when I do. previously they were behind the sofa or in the loft im happy now and so is SWMBO JJ

Such a tease ha JJ

just set the end points for the steering servo to 80% to see if that helps still struggling with 2.4ghz gear and ESCs (crystals and 3 speed speed controllers used to be so much easier) what other issues i've come across is initially the car was slow forwards and v fast backwards and controls were backwards. reversing the radio gear (from reverse to normal) just made the controls correct but still slower forwards. So swapped the motor connections around and reset the radio gear (back to reverse) but then when i changed batteries it didn't seem to remember the settings. Still learning.... JJ

enjoying getting back into tamiya 2 weeks before my 40th bday the RR lunchbox is staying as shelfware the RR beetle has had a good run and battering and loved every minute the TT02B MS has been unpacked today from ebay, ESC and radio gear fitted and scared the kids on the street JJ

ok - here is my issue.... i can't get the car to track straight full lock right seems to create an issue with the servo saver sticking maybe and then it veers off to the right until full lock left seems to free it off and it runs straight again thoughts?? JJ

Well the TT02 MB arrived this week along with the sport tuned 540 now i have a dilemma, the TT02 MB comes with a firebolt 15T - should i swap it out for the 540 ST? I also have a steering issue on the TT02...... good place to discuss it here?? JJ
