- It's no surprise that Tamiya made it back to the top of my list of favorite RC's. The TT-02 platform has been around for years and years, and isn't going anywhere. It's a great buggy, a great touring car, a great rally car, and you can drift the heck out of it if you want to.

Heck yeah! My favorite chassis! The TT-02B. Mostly because of nostalgia.
You can't go wrong with a TT-02B, can you? The bodies, the hop ups, they're a total blast! 👌
Now THAT'S how to do an unboxing video, Fil! Informative and fun at the same time! You know I love my TT02B, it's a much better spec than the road and rally versions. The longer wishbones with steel hinge pins and C-hub steering are so much better, not to mention the oil shocks! I'm with you on that body, very, very spaceship vibe cool! Agreed, the silver looks great and maybe a bright gunmetal?!?!?! Have fun with the build, if you can get 'em a turnbuckle set is a great first upgrade. Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Thanks Mark, I'm glad you liked it. Just having some fun, ya know. Gotta keep the TT02's alive and in people's living rooms. I like your gun metal idea! That's such a great colour! Hmmm... 🤔👍🏻
Nothing beats an old Mot0rola for chassis stiffness. 😂
Haven't heard a fully formed adult saying 'pew pew pew pew pew...' in years. That gave my old chuckle muscles a bit of a workout so it did. 🤣👍
Hahaha funny you say that. My wife had a really good laugh at the "pew pew pew" joke too. 🤣🤣🤣
G'day Fil🤠🙋♀️
Yehhh we'll take 2 please👌, not expensive and look like a tonne of fun. Your speed run challenge was enough to prove this platform is awesome🏅. Run 2 of these same spec and you'd have a great race.
Nice new mobile phone mate🤣👌. I think these are coming to Oz so maybe in future we can grab one. Thanks for sharing your unboxing mate👍🦘🇦🇺
2 it is, mate. They're on their way! Haha! 👊🏼 -- You said it pal, 2 of these, same spec, you've got a fun race day right there. The versatility of this chassis is a Tamiya designers dream. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid, and best of luck trying out your new mobile phone! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, the classic love-hate dance that I have with the TT02B!
Buy - Bash - Sell, three TT02Bs down the road, and this vid just just tempt me to buy the 4th one 😝
No no I need to be strong resist the temptation, be strong and save money, my poor wallet.🤣
great unboxing Fil 👍
If you listen closely, you can hear the TT02B's calling you... "Buy us... We're so much fun... Buy ussss...." 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc 🤣
Lovely unboxing Fil! There is nothing wrong with a TT02B and if I am honest it keeps up with plenty of big boys out on the OR. Great place for people to start in RC kits. Love the body on this one 🙌🏻
The aliens that designed this body found I spiraling in 80's minivans, I think. Wacky cab-forward designs are still some of my favorites. 😁
The tt02 platform in general is great whether on road or buggy form
It really is a lot of fun! 👍🏻
TT 02 and TT02B are great chassis's to build on I find people Diss the TT02 but I find it a lovely chassis, loads and loads of fairly priced hop ups, but there's no need to buy every one, I did the speed gear setup and an aluminium prop shaft, and honesty it's as good as every other tamiya, Hpi, Kyosho, Schumacher that I own. Great video mate 👊👍🇬🇧
They are a great bang for the buck RC kit, aren't they? Nice to hear you can hang with the Schumachers, too! 👍🏻
Great video Fil I think this will be my next build 👍😄
Thanks Paul! You can't go wrong with the TT-02B. Inexpensive, tough, and fun! 😁
great unboxing. i really wish i hadn’t sold my plasma edge .
They really are great buggies! 👍🏻
Almost 20K! Well done Fil, well done. That winning personality of yours is really starting to pay off.
Hey, thanks RJ! I appreciate your support, my man! 😁👍🏻
TT-02/B a clever platform and works well.
Absolutely! Super versatile, tough, and fun! 👍🏻🍻
l thought damn Fil has got hold of a Blazing Blazer or Preditor X10 or Marui Ninja or something alike! but no you show us this thing! Iol joking aside l think this buggy looks cool l agree its really neat looking and of course its a TT-02B can't go wrong right!
Great vid Fil l would go boxart too! Keep the fun dude just brilliant!
Hahaha I'm glad I got your blood pumping this morning, James. Even if it was all just for another TT02, lol! But hey, how do you make an unboxing video fun after a kit has been unboxed 1000x??? Lol! 😂👊🏼
Great presentation Fil.
These white shocks're the onöy thing I'm not a fan of. The rest's really cool
Thanks Dirk. You know, I was thinking of dying the white parts... Maybe, we'll see how it goes. 😏
Whoa, dude . Excellent Into. (In my best Bill and Ted voice) fantastic work fill. The TT02 is going to have a place in Tamiya history with the greats.
Haha EXCELLENT! 🎸 🎸 🎸
Yeah I figured after besting up on the TT02 so much in the Fazer series, I'd balance out the force and show it a little love in a different series. 😂👊🏼
I enjoyed building my 1st TT02 but I replaced all the hardware with allen/hex bolts and a steering with servo saver and link kit, drive shaft, high speed kit steel balls for the font shocks and bearings.
A very good call! The lack of bearings in Tamiya kits is still a bit of an annoyance, but at least they're relatively inexpensive now days. The steel balls make a big improvement in slop reduction, too! 👊🏼
@poorboysrc I used the black balls 🙈 on the body mount post I put the inside body pins down two holes and put the black ball end on top of the pin. This way they pin won't scratch my body and it's nice and snigger no body movement, give it a go 🍻
@@kanenstuff that's not a bad idea! And a great way to make use of those black balls. 👍🏻
Drinking coffee and watching poorboysrc , what a treat. Excellent vid Fil ! You have a great weekend bud.
Wonderful, that's how Saturday mornings should be! Haha! Enjoy your builds this weekend! 👍🏻
Cheers to that! ☕☕👍
@@poorboysrc will be working on the HotShot. Going with box stock bushings because it will be a shelf queen 👸
The Dual Ridge has to be the most alien looking of all their RCs. The have a lot of fantasy styled but this one by far is the closest one to needed rocket boosters on it! I love the odd style of it and mine is proudly on display! Have fun with the build. I did mine in the metallic silver from Traxxas paints but I think you guys have them as OnPoint paints up there. Same stuff different can.
Yeah it's like a classic Tamiya character car, but from an era when they weren't really making funky character cars. Lol! 😆
Oh wow Fil I've never seen such a thing! Oh hang on there is one on my shelf here 🤣 Yeah these are nice and handle well. One thing I'd say is that the bevel gears at the ends of the prop shaft do wear out or break before too long if you go brushless on these. Hasn't been a problem with the TT-02 rally cars because I guess the little wheels don't put so much strain on everything but defo an issue on the buggies with brushless. Have fun with the build and best wishes to you 😁👍👍
You've spotted one of these extremely rare birds before, have you? Lol! 😆
Good tip on those prop shaft joints, Pete. I'll keep my eye on 'em. I don't think k I'll be going brushless on this one, but you never know... 🤔😁
Entertaining edit! I just started racing the TT-02BR, pretty fun buggies!
Thanks dude, I know how you appreciate a fun edit. Haha. 😁👊🏼
Sweet I'll have to get one at some point 👌
Yeah you can't go wrong with it. Funky designs, cheap, durable, and highly upgradable! 😁
Box art.
Yeah it does look really good in box art, doesn't it?
@@poorboysrc you ever seen the keen hawk it looks best inbox art and they need to bring it back.
@@bradkalman2353 yeah it's been a while since I've seen one, but I agree, both kits look good in box art.
I just painted the Dual Ridge, and I've gotta say, I love it! It's not box art though! I'll have a little video on it for you guys in a day or so. 👍🏻
It would be heaps better if it was based on a fazer mk2 chassis right Fil? 😉 😂
Jokes aside, I know I'm not the hugest fan of the TTO2 touring car chassis, but the buggy version does seem to get a lot of love, especially from the UK guys.
Apparently these things perform extremely well, probably aided by the pew pew pew Tie fighter rear wing! 😂
It's certainly a quirky body design, very Sci fi looking!
Interested to see how this one does once built.
Thanks for sharing matey. 😊
👍 👍 👍
Oh, pop this body on a Fazer Mk2 chassis and you've got a legit spaceship! To the moon!!! Haha! 😄
I'm hoping thebTT02B lives up to the hype. It's got a strong following and to be fair, for under $200 CAD, it's a pretty great little buggy. I'm hoping it performs half decently. 🙏
@@poorboysrc
To the moon!!! 😂.....
Or, to the death star perhaps? 🤔
Certainly looks like a fun build and run mate..... look forward to seeing what you do with it fella! 👍 👍 👍

OK let's build it! I like the futuristic body. Maybe call it Wild Stallion!
Wild Stallion, yes!!! Haha! You know, I was actually thinking of doing up a Lunchbox Van like Bill and Ted's van... 🤔😆
@@poorboysrc That would be most excellent!
I have this an it's a beast. It tracks like it's on rails, Very competitive in it's class
The TT02B's are pretty tough from what I hear. This one will get some hard miles put on it for sure! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc I recommend adjustable steering gear, th original links give weird toe out.
I think its time for a truck version!
That would be pretty sweet. And I'm sure it's doable! 👍🏻
I wonder where the driver has his feet in this buggy.
A great question. We should reach out to PDC Design Works and ask them to explain themselves. 😉👊🏼
Hop up!!!
Where to start? 😆
Haha i am just amateur rc car hobbyist but you can strongly consider to change out the shock tower... the stock one really bend... there one tt02b shock tower hop up with come with front and rear with adjustable control bar?
@@TheDevilcup yeah I've seen the adjustable turnbuckles and carbon fibre shock towers. I may upgrade, I may not. I'll run it stock, first. Then go from there. I just built it today and I'm really loving the paint! 😄
Is that kit a new purchase or one that's been waiting in the wings. As I didn't know it was available UK.
I purchased it recently, but I've had my eyes on one for many years. The Dual Ridge has been out forever, it's just not very common, as the alien spaceship body seems to be hit or miss with Tamiya fans. 👍🏻
Im gonna have to say it, im not a fan of the shell. BUT, i have backtracked at times once ive seen them built up 🤔
Yeah it's out there for sure. I think it's gonna look great when it's all put together. 😁
First 😊
I've been beaten.
You beat Paul! 😳
😳😳😳
The cab forward bodies are what I don’t like about these. I’m old school and prefer tge standard buggy look
Yeah they seem to be love/hate with people. 👊🏼
That body 🤢🤮
But the TT-02B is great. Too bad you got fixed piston heads for your shocks. Great sniff 👍
Yeah I knew we'd get some haters of the body. And I totally get it, it's out there! Haha. Personally, I love it. It's my favorite body on the TT02B. Lol! 😆
