I've got over a dozen RCs. Only one hasn't broken (not counting the crawler in this) & that's my Infraction 3s. I've beat the brakes off that thing & it just goes. All RCs break.

TLDR version:Boy, I really got that guy riled up. Butt hurt is such a terrible pain to deal with sometimes
I really love that there is not a single solitary period in his reply until the very end

Tamiya fanbois just kill me
$60, last I looked.This should be a meme right here with how often I've seen it, I even attempted to find a better alternative to help people who get suckered into TT02s.
Joe: I just spent $200+ putting together a TT02 kit, why doesn't it go straight?
Tamiyafan555: You need the $50 aluminum bellcrank upgrade.
Joe: Is there a cheaper alternative? I kinda got bills to pay...
Tamiyafan555: No I've been in this hobby for over 70 years and owned over 5 thousand RCs Tamiya are best because they're unique (proceeds to talk on and on and on about nothing).
Joe: (Lists TT02 on eBay so he can get his kid a Traxxas Slash).

Yea...it ain't worth it. I had a fancy TT02 Type S and neither the aluminum steering, better suspension arms, Tamiya aluminum servo saver, nor the digital HiTec servo could fix the steering.$60, last I looked.
Alright so I guess Ill just deal with that issue with mine since $ upgrades don't fix it?Yea...it ain't worth it. I had a fancy TT02 Type S and neither the aluminum steering, better suspension arms, Tamiya aluminum servo saver, nor the digital HiTec servo could fix the steering.
Oh, according to that moron you didn't assemble it correctly.Yea...it ain't worth it. I had a fancy TT02 Type S and neither the aluminum steering, better suspension arms, Tamiya aluminum servo saver, nor the digital HiTec servo could fix the steering.
Lol, yea sure, it's totally not the lack of a proper "bridge" over the bellcrank system to keep things in place. Just look at the TT01E or any other on-road chassis.Oh, according to that moron you didn't assemble it correctly.
It's fun to try some cheap hack work on these, like gluing the servo saver or using a screw/nut setup for the bellcranks instead of wood screws.Alright so I guess Ill just deal with that issue with mine since $ upgrades don't fix it?
Just hose it off and don't plug a battery into it for a while. Let it dry out in the sun a few hours. Should be fine.Once I get my cars back. Ima get cheapo Amazon tires and put the aluminum wheels on. Getting a new body for it and I'll make it look good. For the shelf. Lol. Really don't have interest in it.
It was fun for like 4 battery packs and it got boring. Especially because I can't drive straight.
Took it through puddles and mud one weekend. Need a air compressor to get into those tight spaces to clean it up.
Cleaning is so much harder than an off-road car.
4tec 2.0 or 3.0 or fazer is what I was looking at. Ideally. Or find a used belt drive kit so I can race during the winter. Onroad track is closer and no tolls, while the off-road track is father away and has 2 tolls.

That was my experience with all of my on-roaders, they get dirty quickly and cleaning them can take a while.Cleaning is so much harder than an off-road car.

Me and @luke66 are trying to figure out what body I should get. I was looking at hpi bodies but they don't fit. The hpi body was 200mm long and 255mm wheelbase vs my TT is 257mm wheelbase and 400 something mm long.That was my experience with all of my on-roaders, they get dirty quickly and cleaning them can take a while.
I'd go with a 4Tec 2.0 or a short wheelbase Fazer, that will keep your bodyshell choices open.
Some HPI bodies should fit, there are a fee that will fit a "TL01" which uses the same wheelbase as your TT02.Me and @luke66 are trying to figure out what body I should get.

I guess bushings do have a place.Just hose it off and don't plug a battery into it for a while. Let it dry out in the sun a few hours. Should be fine.
I've heard that bushings are better for the beach, thing is, you're supposed to grease plastic bushings which ends up attracting dust...I guess bushings do have a place.
You should be able to run plastic bushings without grease as they are self-lubricating but a thick grease actually prevents dust from getting into tight cracks.I've heard that bushings are better for the beach, thing is, you're supposed to grease plastic bushings which ends up attracting dust...
I would have put a larger motor in.With my tt02 build. With the plastic bushings in the wheel hub I had to put lots of grease to make it spin semi freely
