TT02T vs. TT02 - What makes the truck sit higher?

Recommended Posts

What makes the Sandshaker sit higher than a regular TT02 car? I was looking through the manuals, and it looks like they both use the same suspension arms, but different drive shafts and wheel axles. I don't get how that gives the Sandshaker more height? Is it just longer dampers?

My plan is to build the Subaru XV into a rally car, but with a little more height and chunkier tires. Basically, a Subaru body on the Sandshaker chassis.

From memory its the way round that the hub carriers are fitted. It does explain in the manual of how to set the hieght either high or low.

That gives about 5mm as per the TT02 Rally Cars plus then the additional rally block tread over TT02 road wheels. 

The Sandshaker also has considerably greater diameter tyres and a longer damper setup.

Thanks for the replies. I'll read through the manual more thoroughly about setting the height.
