Four different gear ratios can be applied with the use of three separately-sold types of pinion gear, To be honest, I do not understand that pursuit after more speed and power. I run my cars on tight, technical asphalt courses and for me, 540 TT motor is enough. I prefer to focus on precision and technique, not on going straight without control. There is also the TB range which is the shaft drive version at the same level as the TA cars. The TB05 Pro looks cool with different motor positions. The TB04R is a fully hopped up TB04. So for the gears, after some runs, I don’t ear anything ( I put everything in place again), but the FF01 is now doing some weird noises...I will investigate. I would avoid GPM, 3racing or Yeah racing buggy dampers they are all pretty terrible and won’t really be much of an upgrade over the Tamiya plastics, and will probably be less reliable, it’ll just be wasted money. Visit my buggy damper thread for the lowdown on Tamiya dampers.

Touring cars are generally run with FDRs in the 5.5 to 7.5 range (the kit standard 8.27 is too short). The Tamiya RC Plasma Edge II Buggy from our great range of radio controlled buggies, is the first off-road buggy to be released on the new TT-02B chassis platform. The 4WD TT-02B is based on the TT-02 entry level multi-purpose platform designed to be easy to assemble for first time R/C kit builders. This is one of a great range of rc cars that are available both online and in store. Gear Ratio＝10.71：1 (with kit-included pinion gear) ●Type 540 Motor ●Requires an Electronic Speed Controller (sold separately)

Specification

I chose the Plasma Edge II because it reminded me of the old buggies, I don't like the cab forward designs of today. A mate had a Kyosho Outrage BITD which was essentially the plastic version of the Ultima and looks similar to Plasma Edge II. Another mate has just bought the Dual Ridge because he thinks it looks like the Kyosho Salute from BITD which his brother raced

You can't fit a 28T or 29T pinion with a 68T spur on the TT-02 with Tamiya's motor mount (mounting holes just allow up to 27T). and 0.8 are referring to tooth pitch, essentially the size of the teeth. You need the spur and pinion to match. Some people change the TT-02 to a finer pitch/smaller teeth for quieter running, but I'd guess unusual in a TT-02B. I've been running a 7.5t (5100kv) motor on 3S LiPo in my TT-02 and no complaints from the standard plastic diffs, although I have shimmed both differential pinion gears (about 0.3-0.5mm of shims if I remember correctly) to make the mesh between the pinion gear and crown gear tighter and avoid skipping teeth. If the diffs eventually fail I'll source replacements or upgrade to metal diffs, no big deal as they as they are readily available (Tamiya part #51531). This R/C model assembly kit creates a stylish version of the Plasma Edge II shaft-driven 4WD buggy,Gear Ratio = 10.71:1 (with kit-included pinion gear) ★Type 540 Motor ★Requires an Electronic Speed Controller (sold separately) TRF chassis are amazing and will keep up with the best from other manufacturers in onroad - TRF has given up on offroad so aren't developing the cars. I have the TRF102 and the build quality is amazing, and the car is competive at the club despite me being slow. The TA07MS or TRF419XR or TB Evo 7 would all be fantastic cars, get them all. one_hit I totally understand you, but I do not have any plans to go for more powerful motor and LiPo batteries. Someday it will happen, I am sure, but not for now and not with two models I have. May be a silly question, but for bashing only, is it not overkill choosing an excellent model such as the TRF ? I mean, will it be more difficult to break with all the reinforced parts or due to the performance increase, it will still finish to break hard ? (Anyway the steering will be more precise so it could be more manoeuvrable ?). Just a simple thought what is the best compromise : upgrading a tt02 or choosing a better model which btw seems to match my expectations in term of parts and performance... but for bashing hum I really recommend to use sand paper on "cross" which holds gears. There is line where moulds are joined together and gears do not spin freely. Few passes of 800 grit, than 1200 and 2500.

I am also trying not to do things "for future". I did this with my other hobbies and really regretted in many cases.

The 70T spur can give you plenty of gearing options for the buggy-size tires.Special feature 4: Lightweight and rigid FRP damper stays sharpen the suspension, and offer a range of setup options. The TA07 and TB05 appear to be different to the earlier TA and TB cars. They haven't been released as kits, rather the base model is the Pro. This comes with TRF dampers but no body. The R is released later with more hopups. The TA07MS has been released now which is basically a TRF car. I expectvthe TB05 will get the R morel, but the TB Evo 7 is basically the MS version so not sure if there will be a TB05MS. The earlier TA and TB cars also had kits which had CVA dampers but were an alternative to the TT car as a starter kit. This exciting shaft-driven 4WD R/C buggy assembly kit creates the Plasma Edge II. The Limited-Edition version seen here comes with Gun Metal color finish. The body sit on top of the TT-02B, which is a dedicated off-road buggy chassis that offers hassle-free assembly and maintenance, as well as superb controllability. 47446 Tamiya Plasma Edge II – Gunmetal ABOUT THE TT-02 B CHASSIS: Carefully inspect all the gear teeth for damage. Usually when gears start skipping one tooth gets chipped or bent and it continues skipping only on that tooth, causing more and more wear each time it skips.

Diffs ready. I mounted almost all parts on drill and sanded edges, to remove all imperfections and excess of material. Probably it will not make any difference, but at least I know that I done everything I could. Somehow, I think that big two gears inside diff need some sanding. They touch diff body and should be perfectly smooth. Straight from box, they have quite a lot material on edge. It is like plastic "hair" on edge. This exciting shaft-driven 4WD R/C buggy assembly kit creates the Plasma Edge II, and includes stylish polycarbonate body and rear wing parts.

Bathtub-type frame features longitudinally-placed battery and R/C mechanism placed flat for a low center of gravity. The standard kit 70T spur, with FDRs that can go all the way down to 7.28, is already great for a buggy. with the polycarbonate body and wing pre-cut and painted in iridescent purple/green, which shifts colors depending upon the angle it is viewed from. There is a lot of thread about the Tt02b but they are pretty old for the most. If someone knows a good place with all the parts number he would recommend, that would be very appreciated. My plasma edge II is now equipped with a brushless motor, 12t 3100kv and a 22t pinion. I use NiMH and am very happy with the performance for the moment.
