Tamiya TB02 Rally

Recommended Posts

Body:
(prepainted)Killerbody Lancia Delta Group A Rally, with Killerbody light kit. Magnetic stealth body post kit.

Chassis: Pretty standard TB02, a few blue aluminium parts, and sway bar set. I bought a carbon effect Kamtec TT01 chassis/dust cover which fits my chassis perfectly after trimming.

Wheels: Tamiya Lancia Delta wheels tyres and inserts.

Electrics: 
Arrowmax 13.5t sensored brushless motor
Turnigy Trackstar 60a sensored ESC
Turnigy Trackstar TS-D99X steering servo

Setup:
Yellow(hard) rear springs
Red(soft) front springs
yellow(medium) sway bars, front and rear.
I'll sort out the toe, camber etc when I give it a proper run.

I've only taken it for a very short run on the street but it handles very well, I think I have the suspension setup just right. It's quite heavy with the lights, alloy, and hard plastic dust cover. This gives it realistc looking handling.

I had to remove some plastic from the front a-arms and steering knuckles to give more travel and good droop. It also helps me set the ground clearance, ride height and chassis/body height without the chassis sticking too far under the body which really bugs me with Tamiya cars.

Had to trim the front bumper to stop it protruding.

how stiff do you ride your shocks?

Maybe a little soft for prime handling and a fairly slow rebound to give a more scale ride. But I'll know more when I take it for a drive. I'd love to take it out proper tomorrow, but I don't want to get fined by the Covid police.

whoop whoop

 

 

I think my Shocks are to reboundy & to soft. If you let the car fall from 10 to 15 cm you het 2 little hops.....

Driving a straight line on tarmac is also very hard because it does not have any stabilizers, so the car likes to lean to the outer edge after a turn....
