    Help! I've lost my servo screw!

    You've got to be a bit careful, as that servo has  a metal (Looks like brass) output shaft, and came with a machine thread screw (Looks like an M3 from the advert). Tamiya assume that the servo has a plastic output shaft and supply self tappers, which may destroy the threads in your metal output shaft of your servo. The good news is that M3 screws are easy to find on Ebay or a similar site, you just need to figure out what length you need for your kimborough servo saver.

     

    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!

    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

    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

    TT02 High Speed Gear Set Worth It?

    It's good for its price, I'd play around with your servo saver and servo adjustments before going down the expensive bellcrank hop up route. A good portion of the TT02s slop comes from the stock servo saver.

    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 vote for better steering before upping the speed, what servo/servo saver are you using?

    I have this servo and just the stock servo saver. Though I hear the Kimbrough servo saver is really good.

    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

    On the original topic, the TT-02RR uses the 64/29 combo with the high-speed gear set and a Torque Tuned silver can, and is much faster than a standard TT-02. The motor gets much hotter, so you’ll probably want to get an aluminum motor mount and a cheap clip-on heat sink.

    My TT02 has a Traxxas Titan 12t geared 64/27, and is plenty fast. It’s probably faster than a stock TT chassis with CVA shocks needs to be, which is about right for horseplay. With a decent servo, shocks/bearings/servo saver, and a geared up silver can, the TT-02 is a fun and reliable chassis.

    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

    in General discussions

    Posted

    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

    If I plan to stick with a body, usually I leave 3 or 4 holes above where the shell sits. This keeps a decent scale appearance while still leaving adjustability for different wheels or ride heights.

    If you trim the posts, try to make them as round as you can to prevent scratching your shell, especially one as nice as the one you painted!

    Good idea, thanks! Though I do like what @alvinlwh said about using the body post as some sort of rollover protection.

    Most of us use Imgur to host pictures, then post a hotlink which displays them here, just set your pictures to private when you upload them to Imgur or the Imgur community will complain as it's mostly a site for memes. Then you can upload unlimited images here. 

    Would be nice to see it finished.

    Ahh I see, thanks!

    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.
