Finally after months, it's in the UK.
After the initial excitement of the TT-02B, it revealed itself to be unsuitable in stock form as a decent buggy, hopups were also really slow to be released......so I sold them on.....never to buy another....
Then tamiya release this, the Quadtrack.
Because of my dislike of the chassis I thought it was a bit overpriced but being that it's available, it's an involved build with 54 steps and probably the new record holder for a tamiya off road vehicle with the most ball bearings (92?) That I bought it anyway!
UPDATE 29/07/2021
Build started.......
UPDATE 14/08/2021
Quadtrack complete and tested, a few things changed from the manual.....
Full 92 ball bearings installed
Steel pinion 16t
CVA ver2 oil shocks (50519 size type) used
Standard 540 27t motor instead of included 35t installed
One small strip of velcro used on each side for chassis cover, no need to use as much as manual says.......
Kept the tracks to all smooth type with initial build and running on tarmac
Servo steering range reduced to 80% to stop stress of endpoints.
Left off the extra screw on motor cover to increase air flow.....
Replaced the screw pins on the hubs to shafts (see pic)
The screw pins on the actual tracks remain, unsure if you could use anything else here......?
It's a great build and a smooth runner, the tamiya silver can I installed was hot after 20mins run time...

92? Even for Tamiya that's completely bonkers Will be an interesting build though.

Well, quadtrack is not my cup of tea, however, I would really appreciate TC member's genuine feedback after built would be so helpful!! Keep us posted!!

Had to google it to see it on youtube, love it. Also great new part options for TT-02's. Could do a half track army truck

How long did the tracks take you?
taffer
The tracks took approx half an hour per 'wheel' from trimming the tracks to assembly
