Hi all, have been away for a while but I am back to try to complete this build thread before my first child arrives imminently...! I'll break with tradition and post a teaser picture of the final result, instead of incrementally going through the build sequence steps and photos I really enjoyed this one. It's a TT02B MS kit at heart, with various body (reverted to Neo Scorcher main body) and wheel modifications. Will be updating over the next few days. I'll also post all of the hop ups and parts used here soon.

Hi all, Introduction thread for myself.. Started my Tamiya addiction 20yrs ago with a TA01 traded from a school friend, soon upgraded to a TL01 and immediately started the hop up journey.. Dragged it out of the attic acouple of years ago and started tinkering again. Decided for my birthday last year to get something more modern with spares still floating around for and decided on a TT02B MS, not the most advanced or capable buggy I know, but the hobby to me is constant evolution and tinkering rather than buying RTR. So after a year of annoying niggly little problems I think I finally have nailed it and have a reliable buggy to start modding intently! Current spec is: MS basics (Ball Raced, GRP Uprights, Full Turnbuckle Set, Ally Prop & Cups, Steel Driveshafts, GRP Batt Holder, 0.5 Toe-in Rear uprights) - Think thats all.. Absima CR3P 2.4Ghz System Leopard Brushless 13T System Tamiya Alloy motor mount Lipo 2s 5200mah Tamiya High speed gear set Tamiya 64T Spur Tamiya 22T Pinion Tamiya Diff lock block in rear G/B White Wheels and road tyres I've just taken delivery of the metal diff parts bag from df01, i have been getting a cracking noise from the gearboxes under heavy braking, gonna change rear first to see if that resolves it and to try and narrow down which gearbox is stressing currently.. Previous problems I've resolved are screws backing out of suspension mounts. . Glued... Motor stuttering, new motor bought, still stuttering, massive blue splash seen at the connectors, replaced with 5mm gold bananas.. Sorted! Forgetting to charge Lipo after use, on number 5 now, not ruining another one now! Lesson finally learn! So hi to all, I'll catch you around the site!
