could do, The R is for sale. What is it you would like to know specially, might help me take the right picture?

I'm not too familiar with the TT02 chassis' parts. I have a brand new AE TC4 club racer that I want to trade. Someone is offering me a used (but not abused) TT02R for straight swap. But I read in some threads that the TT02S is a much better chassis. I'd like to know which parts are needed to replace to make the R version an S. Will it take a lot to change and make me spend more rather than selling my TC4 and buying an S instead? Hope to see pics side by side and close up pics of their differences.

 

Thanks in advance!

Above is my build thread of the Type S when I did it so some pictures there. 

Essentially speaking there are the following parts that come with the Type S:

C Parts 51352 Steering Uprights

F Parts 51293 Front Carriers

E Parts 19008170 Rear Uprights

D Parts 51297 Suspension arms x2  (Front and Rear)

BB10 53539 3x3.0mm Spacer x8

BB11 53539 3x1.0mm spacer x2

BB15 19805681 3x48.5mm Shaft x4 Suspension Arm to chassis pins.

BB16 53825 2.6x25mm Shaft x2 (suspension arm to Upright/Carriers)

BB17 53825? 2.6x22mm Shaft x2 (suspension arm to Upright/Carriers)

BB18 19805800 3x32mm Turnbuckle shaft x4

BB19 50875 5mm Adjuster for above

BB22 51048 Drive Shafts x4

BB23 19804237 Gearbox joint x4 (I think these are the same as the R actually)

BB24 19808192 Wheel axle x 4 (These are different to the R - perhaps in length as the arms are different)

BB25 19804387 Front suspension shaft adaptor x2

BB26 19804838 Rear suspension shaft adaptor x2

BB27 13450618 Front suspension plate

BB28 13450619 Rear suspension plate 

BB29 14305646 Front Damper stay

BB30 14305647 Rear damper stay

There are some other parts as well but you need to look at the manual to get a full list!

in the pics below the Type S has the ESC with the Fan on top with the Slick tyres as opposed to no fan and tyres with tread.

Thank you!

I see you upgraded the steering, damper and shaft of the S to aluminum. Looks very nice. I'm also inspired by the TT02KR custom build by wrcc (rctech). I'm thinking it would be nice to mix and match parts from the S and KR versions. wrcc is selling his custom parts (mostly carbon fiber parts).

Already have the DF-02 Metal Diffs in the TT-02B

Hmm......

Now those are rarer than unicorn poo...

[TurnipJF]

Really? I just bought mine off eBay.

[gizard]

Got my metal DF-02 parts bag from Modelsport and the cases from Timetunnel. 

[ursamajor]

Everywhere I look, they are out of stock.

Model sport has zero results for DF02 parts bag a, and zero results for DF02 differential.

Bought one 2 months and shipping was 5 bucks. Df02 bag A is showing as in order currently.

Awesome!  Thanks.

I do have another question.  Tamiya calls them differential gear case covers.  Apparently my google-fu is weak, because I, for the life of me, can’t find the DF02 white gear covers.

Is there a number for them?

If you don't fancy waiting for a special order, the same parts (albeit possibly in black) are also included in 51004, which is far more readily available.

[ursamajor]

You guys are lifesavers!  Fusion had the white 51004’s in stock as well.  Can’t wait till they get here!
