    TT02 Speed Run Project

    I've heard that one drawback to high speed runs with the TT02 design is the slop in the steering linkage.  What was this upgrade all about?  

    As for adding weight to the nose...it seems like a supplemental wing  on the nose might be a better choice.  You probably wouldn't need much. 

     

    I just did a quick Google search to find the Kv of a 4.5T motor... is it really 9300kv?!  That's pretty wild. 

    I've have a Arma Typhon motor in mine which isn't a great match.  It's something like 3300kv.  I've been messing with gearing and with the highest speed combo with 48p gears that I can fit, I'd guess that it's around 50mph.  Not great. 

    Yeh the stock steering is a bit naff. I got a fasttrax steering upgrade but there was soo much play in the are i ended up keeping some parts of the fasttrax steering and fitting some of the stock steering. No slop anymore. 

    Yeh its a fast wee motor. Dont know how long it will last though haha 

    I use 64dp gears in mine, currently running a 70t spur and a 27 pinion. Did have to alter the gear cover to fit them in.

    Got out for a quick run this morning and got 87mph. Still a long way to go but not to bad for a basically stock TT02. 

    Didn't take a camera with me so don’t have the speed to get into the speed run thread but there is always next run. Got some tuning to do then back out or a another run.

    Garage find

    Hey,

    Was having a clear clear out of the garage and found this in a cupboard. Remember buying it from ebay years and years ago but couldnt tell you the chassis. Does anyone know? Going to restore it to a good working condition then sell it off. The shell is in good condition for being buried under stuff in a cupboard. Hope you enjoy the restoration.

    Hi ya.

    Really cool thread. Loving the cool body shells :) 

    Quick question, which will be the best chassis for speed runs - TT02 Type S or F103GT? 

    Both have Absima Thrust 1:10 Brushless ESC and 10T Motor Combo, so are pretty quick.....

    Any advice gratefully received. 

    Thanks 

    Dan

     

    Hey Dan, 

    I am not to sure on the F103GT chassis as i haven't ever had a play about with one. Same with the TT02 type S chassis. I know it differs from the TT02 but not sure on how much they differences make. 

    If using the F103GT you just have to be a bit kinder to the throttle with it being a RWD,  Also with it being a basically direct drive to the back wheels could work out as an advantage. Less energy losses in the drivetrain than the TT02. 

    Best thing to do it strap a gps to the cars and give them a run each. 

    Cheers

    I have though about dish style wheel but they are very hard to find in foam tyre form ( or it could just be me that hasnt found them ) 

    Had the car out for a test tonight. The steering just does its own thing. Going to upgrade the steering mechanism as soon as i can get parts to see if it helps any. 

    The Kv and gearing seems fine so far, ran for about 5 minutes with plenty of hard acceleration and the motor was hot but not overly so going to go up a bit with the pinion. But on the upside tonight i upped my PB with the chassis to 48 haha

    Got a couple of updates, fitted the new 68p gears. Running a 82t spur and 45t pinion.

    Found a shell that i am going to get sprayed and fit. Looks pretty aerodynamic ( well more that the standatd TT02 ) 

    Locked the front and rear diff using silicone

    Mocked up an upper deck with carbon fiber. Need to wait until my thicker carbon fiber arrives to make the proper one. 

    Tamiya high speed gear set fitted

    Teflon coated bearings all round

    CVA mino shocks fitted

    Thanks for following

    Noob getting into racing

    in RC Racing Talk

    Hey racers,

    I have been thinking far to much while being stuck in lockdown and now fancy getting into racing. What advice would you give to someone that is thinking of getting into the racing scene?

    I have always only really ever done bashing and speed runs but fancy a new challenge. I was swaying more to the buggy side of racing but not fully committed yet. Any good but cheap starting chassis? 

    Thanks in advance

    Hi everyone one,

    I have made up a few decals for my rc car shell and i am going to put them on etsy. I always had a hard time finding speed run decals.

    https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/810063915/100mph-stickerdecal

    I can cut out pretty much anything you need.

    Going to make other designs for the mph stickers. 

    Let me know if anyone is interested. 

    Cheers

    Marc

    Here is a picture of the basic 100mph decal i got made. ( ignore all the others )

    Got to test the TT02 a bit tonight. Noy enough to get any real speed but managed to get 43mph on about quarter throttle so promising numbers. 

    Stock 82t spur gear and 21t pinion. High speed gear set on its way so i can change the gearing up a bit.

    Not much to update on this, put a alloy prop shaft in and started measuring up to make a top deck when the carbon fibre arrives.

    Tempted to make a carbon fibre undertray aswell just to see what the difference would be. Suppose it would turn it into more of a pan car that a TT02.
