TT-02 TypeS Build

[gizard]

Here is a basic log of my build of a TT-02 Type S build I did recently with a fair few hop ups which I fitted along the way:

1. Fitted Aluminium Propeller Joints and Shaft Along with High Speed gear set with 64T spur.

2. Fitted front one way unit and a ball diff in the rear, I already had built these and used them in another chassis - so not photos of them in build!

I have subsequently removed the front one way and packed the standard diff with Traxxas 500k diff oil. The reason for this is that unless conditions are ideal braking from a high speed is rather unstable!

3. Not shown here but have fitted TAMIYA 54611 Motor 10.5T Brushless 540 - TBLM-02S, with TBLE-02S ESC and Tamiya Fan. Tamiya Aluminium heat sink and motor mount, along with 29T pinion which was tricky to line up with the high speed gearset instructions not making a lot of sense.

4. Fitted front and rear lower arms which required a few shims to reduce slop.

5. Fitted the universal shafts - again I had already made these up so no pics. Also fitted kit FRP Damper stay and Ball joints

[gizard]

6&7. Fitted TRF 42102 Damper set - I have since fitted the gold kit softer springs.

[gizard]

8. Fitted Aluminium steering set and bridge along with 5mm Clamp hubs.

I have a F430 body already painted to from an earlier TT02R build. the car is pretty fast with this brushless setup and handles quite well so far - run only of block paving atm. there is quite a noise from the pinion and spur though.

The high speed gear set has instructions to tell you which holes to use for the 29/64 combo or you could just order a Yeah racing adjustable mount.

Yes I deed look at that - and the suggested option H if I remember correctly was too much of a loose fit - can't remember what it is currently on - will check when I get home. other as you suggest the - yeah racing one might be the only option.

That plate is reversible. I know that's been brought up before that is not very clear in the instructions. 

[gizard]

Well I have tried it in both planes. : this is how the instructions seem to suggest it should be for 64 / 29 which is not right as they don't even touch!

 

[gizard]

And here is how I had it: - there is still a little bit of a gap and it's quite noisy

Interesting thread. Following.....

And does position 18 make the mesh too tight?

yes just tried it!!!! - even with the little play before fully tightening it is too tight. 

[gizard]

19 seems to be the only option - maybe they are just noisy full stop - but the TT-02B I have with the 68t high speed setup is quieter - although currently uses aluminium pinion - I guess 64t to 29t steel is noisy.

That looks too far away to me. I would get the motor mount with the slot so you can set it properly (apologies if you have already said you are further up) before running it again. My cars don't make much noise...

[gizard]

does look like I will need to get the yeah tt-02-013bu - annoying that the Tamiya Spec stuff does not work... anyone know where you can get yeah stuff in the UK?

[Macinnis]

Here is mine 

That's the yeah racing mount. I used a piece of paper as a mesh guide.

Do you have the bottom screw in the correct hole?

[gizard]

Yes diagonal opposite - I re-fitted again yesterday and with the slop it seems to mesh better - but still very noisy.... - need to find a place in the UK to buy the Yeah racing one I think

I got mine from RC Mart on eBay, shipped from Hong Kong.
