lowspot 299 Posted August 31, 2021 I have somehow missed this.I love the TB02 and have converted a normal one into a "R" with all the nice goodies and titanium screws. I can highly recommend the reversible lightweight suspension set #53899. You have a better adjustment for the wheelbase and it doesn't create a weird wheel gap at the wheel arches.ย The chassis tub is almost impossible to find but they pop up here and there, mostly in Japan. Hope to see an update soonย ย btw: here is the suspension link:ย https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/option-parts/rc-reversible-lw-sus-set/ unfortunately very hard to find and not cheap and you need new drive shafts :-) nevertheless an awesome update. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I managed to pick up a BNIB reversible kit for dirt cheap. It was so cheap I thought it was a scam, but it arrived in one piece and its all there. ย Got a couple of options for drive shafts. Just wanting a new chassis as mine has a couple of cracked screw holes and it is scratched. Very tempted for the Fibrelyte carbon frame kit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always set the bar high. Think I did a fairly good job of the TB01. I see no reason why this one can not be the same.

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted August 14, 2022 So the rebuild of the TB02 is complete. I can make a start on tracking down the last few parts I want for this build. ย ย Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted November 4, 2022 So I couldn't find a TB Evo 3 top deck, so I bought the TB02 top deck from Fibrelyte. Always been a huge fan of their work. The quality is expectional and this piece is no different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted January 27, 2023 So I've removed the Ultimate tag from this thread as my pockets are not deep.
