Dojo Dave 889 Posted July 15, 2015 So, hop ups, bling by any other name... I've already decided that I will hop up the steering and front hubs, and then some turnbuckles, it comes with shielded bearings and I have some sealed ones in my box... universals I'm on the fence. If I buy everything in my cart I'm doubling the cost of the car and I havent bought paint yet...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volvotech 101 Posted July 15, 2015 Wait, it comes with bearings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted July 15, 2015 Some hop-ups are well nigh essential for a TA-02 that is due to see any significant running. I would say bearings (if not already provided), propshaft and motor mount fall firmly into this category, with steering rack perhaps also worthy of mention.

chickenman242tk 266 Posted July 15, 2015 got mine this afternoon can confirm no bearings supplied , bushings only. stella were selling a bearing kit for around the 10 dollar mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duvetdo 71 Posted July 15, 2015 Mine arrived today, just 6 days after ordering from Stella standard delivery. No probs with UK customs either. Very impressive. Ordered the bearings to come, too. Great looking kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dojo Dave 889 Posted July 17, 2015 So ordered a few bits today from Asia tees.... Drive shaft, bearings , front hubs...oh and tamiya tape, then ordered a few bits of the bay stealth body mounts and my color ( colour) of choice this time ps 23. Thinking about light buckets and exhausts.... Had thought about the Gulf racing Porsche colors but figured I wouldn't drive a car in those colors so why would I paint my new project that way..

vtecboost 17 Posted July 17, 2015 What would be a good brushed motor set up for this chassis, or would brushless be a better set up? It would be mostly just to have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pininfarina 1009 Posted July 17, 2015 Maybe a sport tuned? Or something 23T depending how big is the circuit. Mine is about a sport tuned 27T? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted July 19, 2015 So RC Mart and Stella are both sold out now. Not many on ebay either. It will be interesting to see if there is a second production run and what spares become available from the usual sources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typical people buying and buying kinda ruins it for those who just want 1 kit to actually build James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted July 19, 2015 Tamico still have them available at a price similar to the HK sellers with a guarantee of no customs charges to pay. http://tamico.de/Tamiya-Porsche-911-GT2-Club-Sport-TA02SW-Bausatz-84399 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
