I did these front links and also made rear links that ran from the knuckle to the upper rear arm mount on the diff, made such a big difference and with some homemade tie-rods gives adjustable alignment in every direction
If you use 0.3mm shims with 5mm ID on the upper plastic arms where it fits to the gearbox cover and 0.1mm shims on the lower arms it removes the slop from that point. The shims only need to fitted to one side and mirrored for the rear. Ive raced at a meeting twice now and it has made such a difference. They will also fit on a TT-01. Core-RC make a set.
Great job. Looks great as well. Some part numbers would be helpful for the newbies like myself 😃 I ordered the 5x8x0.1 and 5x8x0.3mm shims as a first step, lets improve 😃
Wow! It really works well with mine too!! Very sturdy movement. I love mine TT02 so much better than other high-end machines now. Thank you thank you!!
Thanks for this trick. I did it today putting ball joints and a washer on top. Mines coupled with a steering kit though. Slop be gone! My turnbuckles end up being 57mm
This is a much needed mod on ta01 and ta02 chassis. Interestingly this is kinda what you call a compression strutt. I have them on my actual mk2 escort and they replace the anti roll bar.
Actually in this orientation, as with your Escort they are tension struts. Compression struts would run from the suspension arm rearward to the chassis. They work wonders on Escorts, as you are no doubt aware. You can also lower the front attachment point slightly and gain an element of anti dive.
I’m building the 1/10 Subaru Impreza 99 Monty Carlo as we speak and I’m to the part where the shocks are assembled . I absolutely could not believe what I was putting together ...I’ve never seen in all my 42 years “ new bright “ shocks on a Tamiya rc or any hobby grade for that matter . Am I crazy or are these things junk ? Won’t even lock together right witch leaves slop witch hinders drivinig witch risks a good curb or parked car collision ... sorry fail bullshit Tamiya wtf . ( I rebuilt em with traxxas parts ) are all TT-02 chassis come like this one ?
These front links only hold the front arms firmly at certain angle. If the front arms lowered a bit, the clearance becomes larger and the links dont fix tightly anymore
It was some Chinese after market part that came with blue aluminum knuckles, but ball bearings weren't fit so I just ended up using O ring spacer which is same as that you use for TT02 kit
@@simpleisthebest73 also where did you get you tie rod that attaches to the bumper? I like your set up. I have the rcaidong steering upgrade but still some play from the friction balls in the arms
Thank you for your help! One more question..as you were showing your steering adjustments above and underneath what size bolt nuts and screws did you you use to make it more solid?
@@Syx696 it's a tap screw from hardware store just found in my tool box, and nut is from DF02 hop up parts aluminum oil damper set. Just extra parts from it. You can find anything that fits. Whatever it works. Good luck friend! 😉
These are all just leftover parts from my other RC kits. Plastic spacer is from CVA damper parts, and I use long hollow screws or cut off screw head as turn buckle linkage, and just need some ball connectors.
@@evanmehlhose6793 don't worry about that. That blue front upright spacer came with Chinese aftermarket aluminum front upright, but ball bearings didn't fit. So, I just only use spacer. You can just use plastic parts came with the kit.

With the 0.1mm shims for the lower arms do you no the inner diameter hole? I have all yeah racing bits and find the slop is quite bad on the rear

Bloody brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing!
You are more than welcome! Thanks for watching.

Mechanic After Hours brought me here...I may try this. THNX.
Move your front shocks to the upper position for better turn in 😊
thats actually genius , thanks mate :)
Brilliant! Thank you for this!
Thank you!!
And thanks I’m going to try the steering DYI
Thanks! Great video. 🙌
Thanks very much my friend!
日本語で失礼します、ノッキーさんの所でコメントされていたので、気になって見に来ました。
フロントトルクロッドが思っていたよりもずっと洗練されついて驚きました、ボトム時にキャスターが立ち上がる方向になりますね、自分も此方が好きですが、ノッキーさんはキャスターが増えるのが好みの様ですので、次回TTの動画が楽しみです、他のラジコン動画も気になる物ばかりですね、ベンツ190の海外仕様キットは自分も欲しかったのですが、日本仕様は昔スペアボディーで販売していたディーべルスアルトがキットで発売された物を購入しました。
タミヤのポルシェシリーズは自分も集めていますので、何処か親近感みたいな物を感じています。
コメント有り難う御座います！私自身もノッキーさんの動画をいつもご覧に頂いって降ります。この仕様はキャスターにも影響されます。
This setup also help adjust casters setting!
I'm glad that you realized that lol
really like this video bro, what shocks are those you have on this TT02? they look good !
Thanks my friend! These are Tamiya shocks that I bought 25 years ago in Japan.
Great ideas.
Best top secret release for TT-series
Thanks for your comments! Have a merry Christmas!
Thanks 👍
Bro you’re a legend!
lol Thank you!
Well done thanks
great video thank you!!
Thank you friend!
Will need to do this too mine 👍🏻
Love the car. Also what dampeners are you running?
Thank you! Those are Tamiya’s
@@simpleisthebest73 Thanks, Anyway you can find the part number for those?
@@victortakeda9338 these are bought more than 20 years ago… sorry..
How come you installed the dampers upside down?
Yeah totally right and it is a great mod for any rc on road or off ....

Good to know
These front links only hold the front arms firmly at certain angle.
If the front arms lowered a bit, the clearance becomes larger and the links dont fix tightly anymore
Good point!
My TT02 is very solid without those links, no movement at all. And for the best steering use tt02 type s part number 54965
What is the part you've used to connect the turn buckle the top of the knuckle? The blue part.
It was some Chinese after market part that came with blue aluminum knuckles, but ball bearings weren't fit so I just ended up using O ring spacer which is same as that you use for TT02 kit
@@simpleisthebest73 trying to figure out what I can use to connect it to the knuckle without the having the part you have.
Nice job....the original TT02 front suspension is too loose... the bottom arms are nice , but upper arms and knuckles joint.......
Yes, exactly! That's why I came out with this idea.
What kind of tires are those?
What are these called?
Why are the shocks upside down? Is it better with handling at all?
Lowerling cg but it has a oil leak problem.
TA-02で、かなり前に、サードパーティーから、同じような効果のある商品が、発売されていましたよね。
コメントありがとうございます！ そうかもしれませんね。。
have new sub :-))
Mounting the shock upside down actually hurts performance of the shock, just a FYI
Thanks for the advice. I will reverse it again if I ever get in any sort of race.. lol
Its a toy mate.
Why would it hurt the performance?
@@TheBod76 Sprung weight vs. Unsprung weight.
Where did you get the blue pieces on the steering parts.
It’s from aftermarket TT02 Steering knuckle arm set, but ball bearing didn’t fit so I just use the spacers
What's with the upside down dampers. I've seen these a few times
I just copied some other drivers too. I think it help reduce oil leaks, and it look different! It’s cool to be look different lol
What did you use or what can I use for the friction balls In the suspension arms?
It's just the normal one that come with the kit. I'm not sure if I answered your questions right.... sorry if that wasn't help..
@@simpleisthebest73 also where did you get you tie rod that attaches to the bumper? I like your set up. I have the rcaidong steering upgrade but still some play from the friction balls in the arms
@@brentg2642 those are just leftovers from other Tamiya RC kits or Tamiya Hop-up parts.
Hi. What size wheel tire are you using?
I’m sorry.. I don’t have the spec of the tires.. I believe they’re med narrow Chinese aftermarket parts
What is the size and length of the ball connector you used?
5mm ball connector/ 25mm, 15mm turn buckle end..
Thank you for your help! One more question..as you were showing your steering adjustments above and underneath what size bolt nuts and screws did you you use to make it more solid?

Thanks again my friend!!
😳💪👍
Those stabilizers. Aren’t necessary at all. You should adjust the steering link heights. The slop the stabilizer stops first change performance.
Thanks! I will keep that in my mind 😌
This might not be applicable to my TT02 Type S...
Unless i am wrong.
このタイヤとホイールはどこのものですか？
イベイーで買った物ですが、中国産だと思います。ご視聴有り難うございます🤗
Why are you running with the shocks up side down
I thought it would help to store it for long time.. not really sure it will work..
