Losi XXT-CR

Hi. I bought a TT-02 Type S to go carpet racing. I like how the car drives and I'm getting on quite well with it. But I've had a few parts break, I'm searching for more durable upgrades. First part is 'Tamiya 51332' TRF416 C part The second part is 'Tamiya 51293' TA-05-IFS F Parts Are there any aluminium upgrades for these? Both bits have broken through quite minor brushes with the track edges. As an addition to the above, when these parts have broken, the dog bone driveshaft goes flying out. Thankfully I've managed to recover it so far. But has potential for being lost. Are there any CVD upgrades I can look at for the TT-02 Type S? Thanks.

Hey netsmithUK, I'd like to use the tcphotos. I still can't login. I signed up ages ago, so you have my money. The password reset never sends me anything..... have tried many times. It is a gmail account, it isn't being blocked by anything I can see, so must be your end. Or your domain is flagged by Google to prevent delivery.

How things are so different in N. America compared to the UK... the only tracks local (as in 2 hours drive in any direction) to me, are all temporary in a school or village hall. What a joy to have a permanently setup track. Hope you enjoy your practice session.

I have a B6. Bought it when I got back into RC's, that was 2012 I think. And it came from eBay.

tbh I've never melted an XT60 with a soldering iron. Although for soldering plugs a 100w would seem over kill if you can't adjust the temperature. A 25w iron will do fine. I have melted loads and loads of Deans style T connectors...., never to the point of not rescuing them. But they melt very easily when soldering them. I bet there isn't. I'm on plenty of committees and all the time everywhere they make stupid rules without ever considering reality or facts. I just can't agree with this, it just doesn't make logical sense and is devoid of any facts or proof.

I don't agree at all with this. eBay and Amazon are market places, so lots of sellers. No reason to avoid entirely. And places like Modelsport often sell the exact same items, but you may well pay more for them. And yes, they can still be junk sometimes too.

No idea how you managed that. Yes they are a little bigger, but I run XT60 in many models, including down to 1/18th scale as well as a lot of RC Planes. They are fine and a lot less fiddly than the Deans. I'd also say the non genuine Deans can be horrid too. I do use Dean for brushed motor wires instead of the flakey Tamiya bullet connectors. But mush have maybe a 100 items with XT60's on.

These would work great. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144758032319?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=a0t7achztxw&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=D-qw6ZliQpm&widget_ver=artemis&media=COP

That will trade top speed for acceleration though. Depending on what the op is doing, this might not be the best option.

Agree. And Not even new, well over a decade or more for XT60 and I've not normally had an issue buying LiPos or ESCs with XT60 pre-fitted. And if not, its always easy to swap over with a soldering iron.

Spektrum LiPos work the same as all others, I wouldn't treat them as any more idiot proof. XT60 on the ESC is good connector and you can actually plug an EC3 battery into an XT60, so gives even more flexibility. As for more punch, what sort of Tt-02? Buggy. quadtrack, touring car, etc? What sort of use? Bashing or Racing? Lots and lots of options. Do you have a budget in mind?

Not sure I really follow, if you want silvercan performance, use a silvercan. They get great runtimes anyway. Using a tiny motor in a vehicle way too big, just means you are running the motor hard and hot. I have a Fusion SE in my GF-01tr, as a crawler. Can't say I've ever found a brushless to be too powerful, you just match the motor turns with your performance and gearing goals.

Thanks, paint is PS-32 Corsa Grey. GF01FT is built and running:

I'm not an expert by any means. And obviously if this is true, then great. Bit odd of them to mention "Attorney" if they are in the UK though..... solicitor yes, attorney no. Also there still seems to be a listing on Companies House.... It does say dissolved, but no idea how this would impact intellectual property and if you can reuse the name. I'd assume someone somewhere still owns the assets/IP of the former company, even if the company itself no longer exists.
