Do you have the sensor cable in? It will only work with the sensored motor etc installed in brushless mode.

Yessir, tried 3 of them, and 2 motors (13.5, 17.5). It's got to be a programming issue of some kind. Only thing I can think of to try is to program it with the motor completely disconnected - they were already all soldered up when I tried before.

EDIT - that did the trick for whatever reason. Programmed it without the motor connected, soldered it back together and now works like a champ.

Switching between brushed and brushless modes is a headache on the tble02s but if you keep trying you eventually get it lol.

Just finished building a TT02 Type S. Very happy with Tamiya's choice of hop ups for this kit

I was referring to all the 'type S' parts that it comes with as hop ups haha. I feel like Tamiya has pieced this tt02 kit together very well, the 3 degrees of toe in the rear in particular makes a huge difference in handling.

I do plan on adding low friction step screws for the steering once they arrive.

Are you referring the stock tt02 or stock tt02s? The replacement parts for the tt02s have 3 degrees of toe.

Tamiya TT02S Steel Suspension Mount Set #54634,
I was referring to the stock Type S. The 54634 parts include revised mounting plates that incorporate the mounting holes for the rebound stoppers. The rear plate in the 54634 pack is now 3.0 degrees. I don't know if Tamiya made a running change to the regular Type S kit as I have a very early kit. I did find a noticeable difference when I put the 3.0 degree rear plate on with the rebound stoppers. Calmed the rear down just right.

You put the block in the front diff. Locks the front end and will give you more acceleration out of the corners. It will make the car understeer more than a gear diff. You can use different weight oils to mess with how the car turns in. I think I have 150k oil in the front diff of one off my tt02's and it's a good mix between the two. The 150k leaks out a bit so I wouldn't go any thinner than that.

I think these shocks are like 57-58mm long. And the kit shocks are like 62mm end to end. Your ride height woul be very low ~ 4-5mm my guess. Good for racing on a prepared surface.

Kit shocks are 61mm, the 42273 short shocks are 57mm. Tamiya 54000 M-Chassis shocks are 55mm and give a ride height of 5mm on Sorex TC tyres. Kit tyres are taller so you'll get a small increase in ride height. With the 42273 I'd guess the ride height would be about 8mm so they're probably a good compromise.

In that case, the stock tt02s probably is still 2.5deg rear toe as my rear toe plate looks the same as the ones from the earlier kits.

I didn't find any real improvement from using the low friction step screws as far as steering slop is concerned. Might as well get the ball raced aluminium parts next time
