The entrance and rear TT02 plates have been actually common with TT02 -S racers. For a while I’ve had a whole lot of requests to revise these to work with the a lot better TRF420 model suspension arms. I’ve had these elements prepared for a really very long time however have made a couple of small tweaks alongside the best way and now they’re able to buy from Fibre lyte.
The essential change is that these elements will work with each the std reversible suspension that’s included with the TT02-S / TT02-SR, importantly they are going to now even be suitable with the TRF420 arms which might be provided with the Tamiya 58720 TT02-SRX kit. So not solely will you save weight, additionally, you will have the power to regulate droop. One of essentially the most highly effective set-up choices for an onroad race automobile.
The different addition is that they’re now tailored to make use of the 51644 TRF420 bumper B-Parts. These permit you to transfer the physique ahead for extra nook velocity, it additionally lets you add the 54976 brass bumper posts for weight stability adjustment.
With these elements you’ll save weight, enhance sturdiness and most significantly have extra tuning choices.
These plates are suitable with the next Tamiya TT02 fashions
- Tamiya TT02-S
- Tamiya TT02-SR
- Tamiya TT02-SRX
Fitting directions for the entrance
You want the next

First up you wish to mount the suspension block with the 3x6mm screws. I’d advocate utilizing the N3 blocks with them on the within to have 0deg (Or shut) of entrance arm sweep.

You connect it to the three holes beneath the chassis. The center screw gap is 2mm decrease than the outer holes so I used a 2mm spacer. This spacer will make sure that you get a greater floor space towards the plate, making it safer. So simply screw within the 3x8mm screws. Fit the centre screw first after which transfer onto the outer screws and be sure that it’s straight.

Now you have to construct the entrance bumper. The Tamiya 51644 and 54650 are all you want. I used the elective Tamiya (13404111) carbon bumper assist for added bling (The plastic half may be very comparable weight).
The bumper is connected with the three screws

If you’re nonetheless utilizing the reversible suspension arms, you will want to maneuver the droop screw place to the rear. This is way simpler to get to than once they have been positioned on the entrance.

Now check out a few of the tuning settings you may carry out with the brand new elements.
Changing the entrance arm sweep
Front arm sweep makes your suspension bind because the entrance hinge pin is at an angle. This makes the entrance finish stiffer. This is as a result of as the burden strikes ahead the hinge pin is angled into the other way of the nook. This delays weight switch going ahead however because the suspension binds it applies extra stress on the tyre, creating extra traction and growing your mid to exit nook steering.
- More arm sweep = much less preliminary turning however extra within the nook across the apex.
- Less arm sweep = More preliminary turning, much less on the nook apex
Changing the Suspension pin peak
With the Tamiya blocks you can even change the peak in addition to the width. This adjustments the angle of the suspension pin offering you with rear pro-squat / anti squat.
Front Kick-up / Pro-Dive is the place the entrance of the suspension pin is larger than the rear level. This will provide you with extra preliminary steering, however much less as you go across the nook.
Anti-Dive is when the entrance of the suspension pin is decrease than the rear. This offers you much less steering as you enter the nook, and extra round the remainder of the nook.

Fitting the rear plate
Fitting directions.
You want the next
- 2x6mm CS screws (will be 8mm or 10mm if wanted), to connect the Tamiya suspension block.

That’s it.. all sorted.. So listed here are are a few of the tuning choices that you simply now have to your TT02-S / SR / SRX
Changing the rear toe
As the block is adjustable you may choose a variety of toe-in that you simply want. I’ve offered a chart beneath. You can use the adjustable blocks, or the older suspension blocks you probably have them at hand.
Changing the Suspension pin peak
With the Tamiya blocks you can even change the peak in addition to the width. This adjustments the angle of the suspension pin offering you with rear pro-squat / anti squat.
Anti-squat is the place you decrease the rear suspension level, it principally helps you might have extra steering response, sacrificing a little bit of rear grip.
Pro-squat is if you elevate the rear suspension level, this supplies extra traction and reduces the preliminary steering response.
