John's TT-02B MS Build

[gordondude24 9]

So here we go. I just received my TT-02B MS from Tower a few days and it appears to have gotten a little bit of intrest in the "postman" thread so here comes a more detailed thread on it.

This is gonna be a slow build because I am waiting on some parts to come in from Japan. So far I have coming:

Tamiya high speed gear set.

Yeah racing aluminum motor mount.

DF-02 Metal parts bag A.

I also plan on the aluminum steering set at some point but figured that is not a must have at the moment.

Anyway, on to the pics.

Inside the box

What makes it an MS? Here are some of the things it has that a regular TT-02B does'nt.

Pink wheels. (actual 2.2 wheels)

FRP battery strap, rear damper stay, front damper stay.

Steel dogbones.

Bearings.

Blue turnbuckles.

Aluminum rear hubs.

Steel axle outdrives and axle stub ends.

Aluminum propshaft and ends.

Oil filled shocks.

Fancy decals.

There may be more, but im not a TT-02B expert.

More to come.......

Awesome, another fellow TT-02B owner to compare notes with! Welcome, John! I'm looking forward to watching this bad boy come together.

Any thoughts to which motor and esc you are going to use?

I think im gonna get the trackstar 13.5 combo.

Apparently I have to upload my photos to photobucket before I can post any more pictures. I'll get it figured out soon.

Went ahead and cutout the body and painted it. Colors needed are PS-1 white and PS-16 blue metallic.

I must say that the graphics decals were some of the hardest I've ever had to apply.

They come in multiple pieces and all have to line up together with each other and the body lines and windows to look right.

Anyway, I think it turned out ok.
