TT-02 Platform Overview

The TT-02 platform balances simple construction with dependable on-track behavior, making it popular among pilots refining their setup. Its four-wheel drive layout helps with traction and stability, while the symmetric layout keeps assembly and servicing straightforward so you can spend more time dialing in handling.

Scale Styling and Finish

The tough polycarbonate shell is ideal for precise paintwork and scale livery recreation, offering a satisfying paint and trim project for builders interested in authenticity.

Assembly is straightforward for those with basic modelling experience. The TT-02 has clear steps and parts are well organised, but plan a few evenings for careful painting and trimming the polycarbonate body.
A compact 540-size brushed or brushless motor, mid-range ESC and a 2S LiPo or 7.2V NiMH pack will perform well. Choose a servo with good torque for precise steering response.
Yes, the polycarbonate body arrives clear and trimmed on the mounting points. Use polycarbonate-safe paints and thin coats to preserve the crisp lines and decals.
The TT-02 supports common upgrades like aluminium shock towers and stiffer springs to tune handling. Many hobby shops offer compatible parts to improve durability and response.
