Tamiya TT-02R Vs. TT-02 - Unboxing and Comparison - What Hop-Ups Are Included? The Best TT-02 Kit? 

Definitely a great deal. I would pay more if they added these hop-ups in the standard kit too. I'm surprised they haven't done that.

@@eekrc I think many buy these kits because of a special body and aren't so much interested in tuning. But ball bearings, oil filled shocks and the msin drive train are absolutely necesarry.

Yes! That's awesome! Have fun with it...the great thing about the TT-02 chassis is that parts are so cheap, and always available. It will probably be a lot of fun with a brushless setup and those high speed gears. 👍

Yeah, the friction shocks look fun. But that first time you hit a small bump, and you lose control and scratch or damage the body? You will be wishing you used oil dampers 😂 it is a good deal, I'll be building it soon. Might start it tomorrow. Thanks for watching!

Nice! Perfect chassis kit to start with. Have fun with it! You going to be part of the Poor Boys RC speed challenge?

Awesome! They are a lot of fun to work on and really stick to the road well. If you have any questions let me know. Have fun with the build!

I was thinking about picking one up and doing a comparison video on that too. I think the best one to get is the Type SR. Best cost per usable hop ups included. But they are discontinued unfortunately. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! The R kit is the way to go...I think it's the best bargain in the TT-02 kits. Adding hop ups separately gets so expensive...I learned my lesson the hard way... 😂

@@BORGIEVENTURA Yes! Love the Civic body. The TT-02D comes with different hop up parts...Sport Tuned motor, motor heat sink, drift tires...I don't know all the differences but unless you are looking to drift it's not worth getting. The TT-02R or Type SR have better hop up parts.

@@eekrc thanks - newbie here!! watching more of your videos, learning alot from it. more please haha 🙏🏻👍🏻

@@BORGIEVENTURA Yes! I'm glad it helps, I'm always happy to hear that. The TT-02 kits are great. Cheap to buy, easy to build and repair. That is why there are so many out there. I appreciate you watching! If you have any other questions let me know.

Hey Rex! Thanks for watching! Hopefully you like some of them...wish I could post more but other life stuff gets in the way 😂

@@Shinigamix07 In my opinion I would look for an XV-01/XV-02 or MF-01x chassis, they are more suited for rough terrain. The TT-02 is best lower to the ground on road. I've driven TT-02s off road, and I just wouldn't recommend it...rocks get in places and causes issues with the steering, and the drive shafts. You would probably spend more on parts making it a rally other than just buying the rally chassis kits too.

Yes! 251 or 257...it's in the TT-02R manual.

😂 Thank goodness it's not the nuts you are thinking about...that would definitely not be an upgrade.

If you want to replace the front and rear diff with the oil diff then yes, you would need 2. I would recommend trying it with the original gear diffs and if you feel like you need an upgrade then do it. Also I use the Tamiya Anti-Wear grease for the diffs because it is thicker and sticks to the gears making them more "limited slip"...but everyone has their own preference. Either way it's a great kit. Thanks for watching!

@@333UNLUCKY Yes! Mine came with a 27t pinion.

@@eekrc thank you

Everything is included, these kits are mostly plastic other than the hardware and hop-ups included. You need to buy a body, ESC, and motor. I have a video building the Toyota Celica. That might help you.

In my opinion the R is better, I don't think the S comes with the hop up center drive shafts, motor mount, or high speed gear set. It does come with the frp uprights and better mounts for the suspension but the original one is stiff enough. Good question!

Very good question, as far as I know they should be interchangeable, but you might need different hardware. Maybe you can look at the 2 manuals and see what's different.

Right! At first I was thinking maybe the kit doesn't come with one? But that doesn't make sense. I have to call Tamiya, I'm sure they will send one out...if not I'll demand a TT-02SRX lol.

@@eekrc I have adapted and installed 2 new, larger bumpers (front and rear) in my RC car, so I can avoid major damage to the body!
