GreatDane 70 Posted April 12, 2016 Still no Team Hahn Racing MAN TGS Euro Racing Truck in sight. Does anyone happens to know the wheelsize on the MAN TGS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted April 12, 2016 No idea on wheel size, modelsport have some info here. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-team-hahn-racing-man-tgs-tt-01e/rc-car-products/397247 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted April 26, 2016 I was also curious about the wheels and tyres, that manual hasn't really helped though! It shows the same part number (51588) for the wheels (x4) and the tyres (x2) which is odd. Perhaps a typo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9325 Posted April 26, 2016 Interesting... I was half-expecting this to be some kind of hoax! Will be interesting to see if there's a resurgence of interest in truck racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted April 26, 2016 Is it wrong that my thought process was how cool it would look once the truck has had some damage - seeing as the bumper and cab are separate pieces it could look rather realistic! Looks a bit fiddly attaching the front body pins... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted April 26, 2016 One of the biggest surprises to me is this kit is released on a TT01E chassis, not a TT02. I thought the TT02 replaced the TT01E. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9325 Posted April 26, 2016 I had this conversation at my race club last week, nobody could explain it. Did the TT01E have different wheelbase options to the TT02? Maybe the truck wheelbase worked better on the E. Also may be something to do with the offset of those wheels not fitting over the 02 hubs? This is pure guesswork, I don't have both side-by-side to compare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted April 26, 2016 I suppose the one benefit of getting a TT01E chassis is the internal diff gears will be metal instead of plastic, but the center prop shaft will need to be upgraded to eliminate chatter with hotter motors. The body set instructions do say the body can be used with either TT01 or TT02 chassis. I can't find any info on the tires and wheels other than what looks like a new part number, 51588. I'm looking forward to this release. Tamiya found a way get some of my money with the Grand Hauler, Heavy Dump Truck, and now this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatDane 70 Posted April 26, 2016 The tire OD is 70mm courtesy Rcmart. I think Tamiya should release this truck, and info that follows, asap :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved that game dearly :,) Alas, a racing truck would not be a good fit in my fleet, so for now I will pass... you know, until I justify it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally, I got my hands on a set of tires and can now inform you guys that the Team Hahn Racing Truck tyre fit M-chassis wheels perfectly. Bonus info: Some time ago, I did have an Tamiya Tam-Tech Hornet buggy and fitted the buggy with M-chassis rear tires, thus the Truck tyre does also fit Tam-Tech rear wheels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted August 15, 2016 Another bonus to this truck, is that the box is printed "Racing Truck" and the Team Hahn Man is just a sticker on the box, which implies Tamiya will be making more liveries for this truck, or even better, more truck variants! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
