About this deal

I really recommend to use sand paper on "cross" which holds gears. There is line where moulds are joined together and gears do not spin freely. Few passes of 800 grit, than 1200 and 2500. There is a lot of upgrades for that model and I really wonder which ones are a must to have (like the metal diff for example). I chose the Plasma Edge II because it reminded me of the old buggies, I don't like the cab forward designs of today. A mate had a Kyosho Outrage BITD which was essentially the plastic version of the Ultima and looks similar to Plasma Edge II. Another mate has just bought the Dual Ridge because he thinks it looks like the Kyosho Salute from BITD which his brother raced This exciting shaft-driven 4WD R/C buggy assembly kit creates the Plasma Edge II. The Limited-Edition version seen here comes with Gun Metal color finish. The body sit on top of the TT-02B, which is a dedicated off-road buggy chassis that offers hassle-free assembly and maintenance, as well as superb controllability. 47446 Tamiya Plasma Edge II – Gunmetal ABOUT THE TT-02 B CHASSIS: The ball bearings are now installed and I hope I will receive the damper stays very soon to install everything and test the new behaviour.

the part-delivery can be used by the customer within the scope of the contractual designated purpose, That to me sounds like the ring gear on the rear diff which is the major weakness in the TT02B drivetrain. It will keep going for a while yet if its intermitrant. You have a few options. The kit comes with a 17T pinion. If you do install the 68T spur that comes with the high-speed gear set, you won't be able to use the 17T pinion since the smallest pinion that can be paired to the 68T spur is a 18T pinion.

I wouldn't spend the money on the steering kit, the plasric works fine but there is a bit of slop in it. Personally I keep my TT02Bs as standard as possible and just do necessary things for durability. Put the money you would spend towards a better kit to start with. The DB01 is an option, otherwise you're looking at a different brand. The standard kit 70T spur allows FDR down to 7.28 only, which is not great. This triggers the need of the high-speed gear set to push it further down. Gear Ratio=10.71:1 (with kit-included pinion gear) ●Type 540 Motor ●Requires an Electronic Speed Controller (sold separately) i already broke a servo, so is the servo saver a must ? Or another servo with more torque? Which one ? The listed values are top-speed, acceleration is another matter. Higher-powered motors will feel a lot more punchy throughout.

there is a number of nicely build TT02B’s buried in the build threads it may be worth looking at those as well. You can't fit a 28T or 29T pinion with a 68T spur on the TT-02 with Tamiya's motor mount (mounting holes just allow up to 27T).I would avoid GPM, 3racing or Yeah racing buggy dampers they are all pretty terrible and won’t really be much of an upgrade over the Tamiya plastics, and will probably be less reliable, it’ll just be wasted money. Visit my buggy damper thread for the lowdown on Tamiya dampers. Gear Ratio = 10.71:1 (with kit-included pinion gear) ★Type 540 Motor ★Requires an Electronic Speed Controller (sold separately) Motor. I see heat sink and motor mount. Both of them will be too expensive. Which one will be better? the plastic dogbones work well, but they can limit steering and suspension travel so while not needing replacing immediately it’s something to put on the long term list.

TRF chassis are amazing and will keep up with the best from other manufacturers in onroad - TRF has given up on offroad so aren't developing the cars. I have the TRF102 and the build quality is amazing, and the car is competive at the club despite me being slow. The TA07MS or TRF419XR or TB Evo 7 would all be fantastic cars, get them all. The TT-02B chassis is the buggy evolution of Tamiya’s popular 4WD entry level unit, the TT-02 chassis. Front/rear gearboxes include 4-bevel differentials for smooth operation, and are sealed to ensure that dust can't get inside. May be a silly question, but for bashing only, is it not overkill choosing an excellent model such as the TRF ? I mean, will it be more difficult to break with all the reinforced parts or due to the performance increase, it will still finish to break hard ? (Anyway the steering will be more precise so it could be more manoeuvrable ?). Just a simple thought what is the best compromise : upgrading a tt02 or choosing a better model which btw seems to match my expectations in term of parts and performance... but for bashing humone_hit I totally understand you, but I do not have any plans to go for more powerful motor and LiPo batteries. Someday it will happen, I am sure, but not for now and not with two models I have. I confirm the ball bearings kit is NOT the same up to a certain point. Indeed, the size of the bearings for the wheels are slightly smaller than the one for the TT02B. Thus on my Tt02, I was only able to install the driveshaft and the diff ones. I have to say one thing: it will be slow build. I do not see reason to hurry and just think twice before I do or upgrade something. I did some mistakes with my DT-03 and I want to avoid them during this build.
