I looked back at the ad, and looks like I did use the screw from that servo. Sorry though, I was a bit in a panic thinking I'd lost it. Ill have to find some M3 screws then. Thanks so much!
-
Well I actually JUST found the screw 😅 It got launched a little ways away. Either way, its too short and wont fit with the Kimbrough servo saver, so the second and third questions are still relevant
-
So number one, this is the servo I have in my TT02... SunFounder 20KG Servo Motor Waterproof High Torque Servo, SF3218MG Metal Gear Digital Servo, Aluminium Case, Control Angle 270° for RC Robot Cars https://a.co/d/578xEeD I didnt use the screw or the servo horn that came with the servo, only what came in the tamiya kit. I just bought a kimbrough servo, and as I was installing it, I noticed im missing my servo screw. So now I cant install any servo horn at all. Has anyone else experienced their servo screws backing out/going missing? And also what kinds of screws are they? How long are the TT02 screws usually? Bummed out my car is out of commission for the moment.... Any help is greatly appreciated

Just thought id update, but I did end up cutting the body posts. It does look a million times better!
-
Ok, so servo saver is probably the way to go for now. Thanks so much!
-
Ahh I see. I think I remember someone saying that its worth buying just the aluminum steering bridge will help with steering slop too. Is that right?
-
I have this servo and just the stock servo saver. Though I hear the Kimbrough servo saver is really good. SunFounder 20KG Servo Motor Waterproof High Torque Servo, SF3218MG Metal Gear Digital Servo, Aluminium Case, Control Angle 270° for RC Robot Cars https://a.co/d/6JI7GU9 And agreed on steering over speed, just wanted to get thoughts anyways 😅 I guess its similar to suspension and handling over raw power on a real 1:1 car

Thanks! Great to know! In a separate post, I wrote about how I accidentally bought the wrong pinion set (48p instead of .6 mod) and I somewhat screwed up my spur ON TOP of my already degrading stock pinion. So ill probably be buying a high speed gear spur and new pinion once the old ones completely wear out. The stock TT02 definitely could use some more speed in my opinion, but also could use some steering improvements. In you guys opinion, better steering? Or more speed? All in the name of fun, so no racing or anything. Though Im interested in getting set up for the Racing by post thing going on 😄

Hey guys! First timer here, and im pretty interested in joining. I just got myself a TT02 and have an open parking lot across the street. Ive got some cheap "field" cones which are flat(ter) but not completely flat, but should work. I guess I was just wondering, with the track map/layout, do you each just do your best to replicate all the turns, corners, straights best you can? Or does it have to be super close to what the map is to be valid? Thanks in advance!

Weird sound after installing new pinion gear
EmJayeX replied to EmJayeX's topic in General discussions
TAMIYA AV Pinion Gear Set 22T/23T CR01 TAM50357 Gears& Differentials https://a.co/d/g8gL9cg Will this pinion set be ok? It looks to be aluminum too, but the reviews are good -
Weird sound after installing new pinion gear

Ahh crap, well, thanks guys. Ill make do with the old pinion (and spur ðŸ˜) until it really gives out. Probably shouldve done more research and paid attention to the listing -
So I just got a new pinion gear set 4pcs 48P Pinion Gear 3.175mm Set Hardened 20T 21T 22T 23T 48DP Pitch Gears RC Upgrade Part with Screwdriver https://a.co/d/evuzxrG And I installed the 23t one. I put it in and realized the teeth were a bit shorter than the stock aluminum one? So I tried the 22t position on the motor mount. It fit but was slipping a bit when there was some weight on the wheels. So then I put it to the 21t one and it fit great. BUT....when I started running it a bit, it sounded kinda weird. Maybe like it was meshing TOO tight with the spur gear? Maybe im just freaking out, and Im not used to a steel pinion? Im not really sure and dont really want to have to buy another pinion to replace the stock one (already starting to wear out a little). And thoughts and insight are much appreciated
-
Good idea, thanks! Though I do like what @alvinlwh said about using the body post as some sort of rollover protection.
-
Cool! Its currently out of stock, so Ill see if I can find any other extensions out there. Thanks so much!
-
I ended up just doing another post here with the finished TT02 😅
-
Ahh I see, thanks!
-
Oops, also realized that I wrote "me" instead of "my" in the title....

So I made another thread and I didnt realize I couldnt attach as many pics as I wanted to. So new thread 😅 I recently bought a TT02 kit, the A80 Racing Supra. And this is how it turned out! Ill probably cut the body posts soon, once I figure out the ideal height. Do you guys think its worth not cutting the body posts? Its in "rally mode" right now so if I were to change it back to regular ride height, I wouldnt have enough post to set the body at the right height.
-
Welp, scrap this...
-
Annnd, I dont think I can upload any more pics...
-
Now shocks...
-
Now suspension arms...
-
And now have the chassis, diffs and motor in
-
Then gotta open everything up...
-
Finally finished my first TT02 build! I picked up the A80 Racing Supra and this is how it went!
