My 7 year old son has made his debut in racing, VTA. Here is his new body for his TT02-S

The second dm-01 I did. Still have a third NIB. 5200 track star with bundle esc. Slipper. Pink dn-01 wheels. Louise Maglev tires or should I say tyres. Hop ups to trf  201. Love the straight black paint.

M-06 full blue bling build. This is way to expensive. Way to much money in the chassis. But was fun and now picking a body for it. Was a vw bus kit but didn’t open one pack of hardware to build this. Prob have a m-06 in the box without the base chassis. Prob have 250-300 in blue on top of the kit, picked up the mini wheels and thats it.

Finished (99% I'm currently painting the part that goes over the rear licence plate) my Rally Beetle! Stock besides mini cvas and bearings. Thanks to this forum for the help. I read a post about building the rear shocks with the spacers and short ends so they wouldn't be too long. 

 

It's first test drive went well, I can't wait to try it out on some dirt!

Just got my Camaro and Bud racing truck bodies out of the loft to put on my TT02-S. Thanks for the inspiration. The best looking muscle car ever built IMHO

Which brand body do you own? HPI or Protoform

The Bud  truck is a £20 off the Bay and the Camaro is Protoform. Wheels and tyres are VTA. Neither is fitted properly as I need to sort out the body posts, also been to source a motor.

Where does he race? Not in the UK by the look of your mains sockets.😎

Just been looking at some video of VTA racing, seems to be a good entry class. I like the thought that if it’s not in the rules it’s not in the spirit of VTA😀

I don’t race but with a 13.5 t brushless set up it’s a real cool car park runner. We don’t have the weather or the circuits that you have in the states so car parks it is!!!

Crazy fast comical with slammed suspension and some new R31 House wheels and tyres.

IMG_4855.JPG

Those R31 kart have become really popular recently. Do the wheels come from them. Do the do front and rear or are they 12 mm hex front and rear

You can order the wheels and tyres separately, but they are both by r31 House. Unsure if the tyres fit on other wheels. They fit standard tamiya hexes and are one size only (BIG!)

Got mine from RCMart, and the wheels come in black or white:

The rules are meant for close racing and back in the day when they required motor was a Novak 25.5, it was very close. Once Novak shut down, they opened up the motor selection and speculation started with which motor is the best. It is still relatively close and as you mentioned perfect entry class

@Bwaaatch. Do you have any more pictures of this one?  Would be cool to see how you lowered it.  Nice buld!

Originally did it like this: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=135504&id=48472

Have since lowered further with shorter Yeah Racing QUTUS big bore shocks and some wider hexes at the back (and narrower ones at the front). Not a lot of suspension travel, but obviously this only runs on flat ground, so that's OK.

Had to do some shimming to get the dogbanes to stay in place at the extreme angle.

Ant I can't pretend it handles brilliantly. But it is rather exhilarating … until you smash it into a gate, then things look different …

Love those R31wheels and tyres. I have them on my CB Grasshopper 

the rear wing is cool I have a couple of F1 wings I’m looking at trying to mount

@paullyjay - Wonder if tires would fit TXT-2 Agirios, you would not happen to know?

I don’t know.... (I think you asked the wrong person)... But, I have seen this knocking around on the interwebs, so something must be possible!
