That thing flies out the box... He still prefers his hornet though 😁 Mine is a vintage 1994ish era Chassis with modern brushless gear internals/ output shafts and full ball bearings throughout. Also runnning the Bigfoot wheels. So basically the same Truck as your Son’s ( with a different body ) in fact I was running the Titan XL5 at the time So virtually the same truck as him. Curiousity ? Which Bigfoot did your green t him ? The Classic Bigfoot #1 body or the modern Stadium style Bigfoot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must admit it is fun to drive, but I had to buy the aftermarket wheelie bar as the thing just lifts and rips the back end of shell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayRider 311 Posted January 8, 2021 I have just put a 10BL120 with a 5.5t motor into my TT02 and can not wait to do some runs tomorrow, hopefully they wont be so much ice about so I can put down some good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakratfink 949 Posted January 8, 2021 Also have the wheelie bar on mine. I’ve since upgraded to a GoolRC brushless system and it is even more bonkers now . If you haven’t already invested in ball bearings kit he ( or you) will get even more enjoyment out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then swp into schumacher kd @Kelleye You want the speed tuned gear set and a 25 t pinion in your Top Force, with those fitted and a 8.5 t 2 c combo mine is very quick, I don’t have a gps unit to test or I would be all over this like a rash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stock RTR bigfoot gives u a 50% option on the esc which I use for him otherwise could be dangerous... 😬.. Agree the thing is bonkers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think the tt02 chassis is one of tamiyas best for speed if u fully modify... I started this chat based on my tt02b which is fully upgraded... Its a cheap entry base model with so much potential... The key is removing the gear cover and buying a fibrelyte brace, gives u so much more pinion options... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These were pretty much the standard for speedrunning up until a few years ago, most people these days tend to use the skyrc gps or a gopro with racerender.

Wooders28 4703 Posted January 9, 2021 I run one if these, they're light ,compact and once on the laptop, give you a Google earth overlay of runs. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=441960 Plus, quite sturdy!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mud4fun 1696 Posted January 9, 2021 I use the same one as @Wooders28, got mine from modelsport. We manage to fit it loose inside most of our body shells/chassis. Not needed to velcro it to outside yet as it is reasonably compact. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have modified the front and rear to make it more stable, as well as modified the suspension. I admit that it is not the norm for speed runs but I bet it will give a few people a run for their money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
