As always.. been waiting for this video today Glenn. Personally, i don't think your videos need to be "short" as you keep saying. Anywhere between 15 and 20 mins is not a problem as there is a fair bit to cover. Thanks for your effort making these.
Looks nice and blingy! Looks like if you put the ball in backwards on your servo horn it will make the steering rod more in line with the steering crank.
great video build series again , i would be happy too run that at our club ,, just one thing i would change the steering link on your servo saver end too behind so it runs at 90* too the steering bell crank arms ,this will give a better feel when driving as its a one too one ratio , when you have these strange angels the steering can feel strange left too right , but your shock settings with droop look spot on out the box and the chassis looks killer
Yes i was already scrolling through the comments to see if anyone already noticed. Put the ball end on the servo horn on the other side, the bump of rod already hits the steering bridge otherwise.
Excellent Glen!!. I’m really enjoying the TTO2B.. You have done a great job with that.. I must get mine finished now.. This weekend must be the Finnish line!!!. Looking forward to seeing it run👍👍👍
Just some further information about that motor gear meshing, i have a standard tt02b with that exact motor and the standard plastic motor mount. I also found i needed to set the fixing position of the motor, to 1 tooth less than it actually had to get proper mesh of the pinion/spur gear. I had a different brushless motor in it before that, and it just had it in the normal position that the pinion size was and it was good. I think the screw holes in that motor might not be exactly spaced correctly apart.
Nice build, tt02b r underrated in my opinion... You should try the gear cover replacement from Fibrelyte. You are then not restricted on motor mount, spur and pinion size. Also motor mount with a slider instead of holes give better adjustment for meshing. 👍👌
Hi Glenn, I use Savox servos in all my race buggies. Yes they make funny noises and they can be power hungry causing some issues with weak BEC circuitry. But they are bomb proof to the point that I don't bother with servo savers. I enjoy your channel, it keeps my brain occupied and stops me from doing stupid stuff as I'm having a tough life right now. 👍
Coming along nicely Glenn and lots to unpack in this series. Proof will be out on the track. I think it is great to see an entry 4wd buggy being taken up to see how it can compete with the big boys. Good luck on the track 👍🏻🙌🏻
Love your videos most of parts from Japan have arrived a few more to order and decide on motor doing something very similar to what your doing keep up good work
Glenn you may want to leave a little more play in the prop shaft as the as if the chassis flexes when running (and it will) if it is too tight it can put lots.of stress on the drivetrain 👍
I would turn the battery to have the cable face forward(forward-outward so actually turn around and upside down). It its still tight you can cut down the ledge on the forward side a little for the cable. I just glued distance rings on my battery straps after checking with all batteries. It looks like you have the rubber gromets on the servo, i know that gives piece of mind but i screw my servos down without them and they are mounted so much more stable. If the servo moves 2 mm side to side your not gona have good steering i think. Its either have it vibration protected or live with a shortend servo livetime and have better steering.
Great video Glenn, always interesting seeing tt02 builds, with so many upgrade parts available almost no one does theirs exactly the same. About the steering, one extremely good bang for buck upgrade is the tamiya TT02 low friction step screw set (part number 54550), its dirt cheap & makes a surprisingly big difference reducing the steering play further.
1:02 => The lighter orange motor is good for 1/14 or 1/12 cars but not so much for 1/10 Buggies IMHO. When I changed to a Robitronic Razer Ten combo (60A 4600kv) in my Durga, I was VERY impressed. The 20 EUR price difference is REALLY worth the money !!! I have bought 6 or 7 combos after that and put them in all my (almost) Shelfie 1/10 Buggies. I can strongly recommend these...
The ESC in the 50A and 60A Combo is the same as far as my eye can see. The fan is high rpm and can be used to cool motors etc. These fans almost cost 10 EUR online. ESC is sealed and works much smoother
Hi Glenn, Good video as always, not sure if it’s been pointed out but swap the ball stud the other way in your servo saver so the servo link sits straight ;) looking forward to see it go. Missing my tt02b ms now ha ha
Meshing - I had the exact same problem last weekend with the stock mount, simply didn't match the 68T spur and pinion combination shown in the matrix - easy fix but annoying nevertheless. IMO the instructions are incorrect. Top vid for TT02B owners, ta
Great content as usual. Not much to add to the mods already done Personally I would fit aluminium front C hubs or steering knuckles as the plastic ones might possibly break easy in a crash. As I said before I would shim the steering with 0.1mm bearing grade shims in 3 or 4 or 5mm internal diameter whatever works to take the slack out a tiny bit.
Savox servos always talk to you, just to let you know there happy an alive. You're going to do performance motor and ESC as well you should look into Castle creations That's what I race with my electric program. Even though im a Nitro guy, you always mention here recently that the video needs to be short? Is there some reason for that or you just want them to be sure? Cuz I think we all would probably not mind if it was to 15 or 20 minutes longer. I watch all these videos while I'm wrenching on my race kits. It also for watching the first place that means we enjoy it to begin with, but anyhow good job , I like to performance stuff!!!!🦀🦀🦀 Just about forgot to say I like the jacket. Very sharp. Also maybe you could do the 801 kit Maybe when you finish putting in the dry stuff you could make that a performance kit as well cuz I would be interested in seeing that!
That looks class, definetly got that race buggy look. Looking forward to see it run. I guess you'll need some sort of approved motor /esc combo if you're going to try and race in a specific class.
Looking good Glenn, however, there is one extremely important part that you're missing. You're going to need to get the hop up servo mount. The steering on these are it's biggest downfall. The plastic mounts are horrible and your servo will wiggle all over the place. I've run mine with the standard mount and it goes all squirrely. Got my Tamiya aluminum mount coming in the mail today.
So I’m confused. So my TT02D comes with a 22T pinion. According to the chart you have in your hands if I use the high speed gear set the overall speed will be less than using the standard 70T spur. Is that correct? Going from a 7.37:1 to an 8.04:1?
Coming along nicely Glenn, I have just installed a new DS3218 PRO servo in my car using the same brushless combo as yours, however the new servo seems to be power hungry and when driving the car fast sometimes the servo is un responsive for about 1 second! this is heart stopping when I am approaching a curb at 50mph and can't steer away! the servo works fine when not driving or under half throttle, I think your ESC is rated at 5.5v and 3A like mine, I wonder if the servo is drawing too much current?
Looking good sir! Just notified the steering link rod is at a strange angle, could you not swap the ball end around on the servo so it points backwards then the link rod would be straight 🤔
Motor mount is probably meant for the stock spur gear? I mean, if you change the spur, the motor mount holes dont line up anymore, as you essentially change geometry.
Ha ha, you get carried away... TT-02B TRF! That's cool! I like that highspeed gearset, do you know, is it also 0.6mod like the stock gears? I always get confused if it is or if it's 48dp... It's annoying they never write that on the pack or item description on the webshops... I would assume it's stamped into the gear, but that's hard to see when shopping online... Looking forward to see it running, even if it's crap weather!
I think the spur that comes with the high speed gearset is actually 0.5 Mod, I've just finished a specced up build and I've put in a 48 pitch pinion and it has a very loud whine. I think I'll put an RW Delrin 48 pitch spur on, as I only have two 0.5 mod pinions in my whole assortment, and 48 Pitch is kept in most hobby shops for ease.
@@madsrcbuggy Tamiya do make 0.5 mod, but only a few cars use it, the Super Astute and Dark Impact are two I know of, I think some of the more advanced touring cars also come with it or it is an option.
I gotta say I’ve never liked those wheels before but they look great on this car somehow 🤷♂️ Not important but wondering how it compares weight-wise with the new Avante. About the same I’d guess?
@@TAMIYALegends It also doesn't have to be on-the-nose promotion. Maybe the track is a family business.... Maybe the area has "r/c racing tradition" or history.... The owner could say a few words about the place. Could be nice content.
