If it wasn't fun, why would you do it!?!?! So fun, great track - great club - great atmosphere... New track layout for the Winter Series coming soon... stay tuned.
@@BadTimeRacingSport yes it looks like a really good club with the way people wait for a car to catch up if they caused a problem, That is really good sportsmanship!
It was a box spec class, however the club no longer runs this class. If you’re in Auckland let me know and I’ll get you the contact details with the club, and they can guide you 🫡
I find the TT-02B a better buy than the TT02. The car version breaks hubs and pops dogbones out. The buggy version is much tougher. Big crashes generally just have the dog bone half pop out, which is fixed by holding both wheels on that axle and twist the wheels in different directions. The lower spring holders often pop out too. That's really all the issues I've had and the kids race them pretty hard. I've never had any issues with the diffs, and I run them as pre the instructions.
Yes, it's pretty straight forward. I would recommend spending some extra money on a bearing kit - which is easier to install during the build rather than trying to strip down later. The kit doesn't need special tools, but make sure you have a screwdriver that fits the phillips-head-screws nicely. There is a semi-assembled kit, but either way - take your time, and look at the pictures. Good luck! Have fun!
Hi Tyrin Coles. My advice would be to check the classes available at your local track before purchasing. Have a chat to the drivers, and you'll get a feel for the brands they race - it's a good indication of what parts are available in your area (and at the track). Otherwise there's nothing stopping you from racing the TT-02B on clay. They're pretty rugged.
@@tyrincoles4713 Try not to get too deep too quickly. You can spend a whole bunch of money in this hobby, and especially racing. Choose a beginner class, have some fun, stick to the same class for a year - then decide if you want to upgrade. As long as you're having fun, it's worth it.
A proper racing chassis is generally going to more durable. They are made to handle some big jumps, aka crashes. The Tamiya is pretty durable with the current power train, and parts are cheap. If you need more speed I’d invest in a race chassis.
I love this concept of an affordable spec class where the emphasis is on the driving and the fun!
So do we! Even Formula 1 has spec tyres. It keeps the emphasis on fun rather than $$$

What are the rules/specs for your TT02B class
The club got too big and sadly abandoned spec racing. It’s sad, because I agree they are fun!
Fantastic 😊👍
That look like alot of fun and what a nice track?

Are any hop-up options allow or is it a box-stock class?

It is this tt02b reliable?? As I know all tamiyas are weak, on off road tracks and carpet it is even very ruf for plastic differencials.

Hello friend, is it easy to assemble this tamiya tt 02B kit? Greetings (its my first rc build Kit)

Do Tamiya have racing chassis’s and can you race them on clay tracks

My local hobby as the parts. But i get what by our saying. I really like that buggy. I’m really liking the tamiya cars I just getting into the hobby.

You right. I’m really liking the rally/touring class. I I’ll start there
How durable are these? Wouldn't mind getting the kids one but if better to get a competition 4wd for duality I would rather go that route.

Nice
Thanks!
I'm TT02B 🤪. I've spent way to much money on mine and have no place to run it. Sure wish we had a track and a TT02B class to run around here.
Where abouts are you @66Barracuda? Racing sure is fun!
