TT02D Type-S???

[EmJayeX 21]

Has anyone heard of the TT02D Type-S??? I just saw Thercracer do a review of it. Does anyone own one? If so, what do you think of it? From a beginner drifting standpoint? Is it THAT much better than a (mostly) stock tt02 with drift tires? 

Also, where to find it for sale, in the US?

I think theyre discontinued, I tried to find one not long ago.

Id suggest just buying a Type S and putting drift tyres on it

Neither the standard TT02, nor the Type S have enough steering angle to drift that well. My Type S had a habit of sliding into everything.

The TT-02D+S is basically a Type S with a few nice bits thrown in and "drift" tires.

None of these variants come with front universals, I've heard helps improve the steering angle.

MST RMX, now that is a proper drift car.

Also RWD and much more realistic drifting, but also a lot harder to drive than a basic 4wd with drift tyres which behave a lot differently and quite unrealistic, but much easier

Oh man, ok...thats a bummer. I feel a little late to the party with rc stuff lol

I was just asking about the TT02D Type-S out of curiosity. I enjoy my TT02 and I really enjoy some occasional, basic drifting every now and then. But I also enjoy postal racing and wanted a decent touring car that could also drift some. I just know the TT02D Type-S had a lot of adjustablility compared to the stock TT02. So just wondering 😅

Thanks again!

Try a 3R Sakura D5S. Cheaper than a TT-02 made to Type S standards. Pretty good out of the box with not much need for hopups.

Does that mean if you do it right, you can get it to be done and complete (body, paint, motor, esc, etc) and itd be cheaper than a complete TT02? 

Im seeing Sakura d5's for about 100 bucks for a chassis.
