TT-02 Chassis: A Foundation for Performance and Growth
The TT-02 chassis is an evolution of the popular TT-01, designed to provide an accessible yet robust platform for hobbyists. Its four-wheel-drive, dog bone drive line, combined with a gear-driven differential, ensures stable handling and reliable power delivery. The fully independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers maintain grip on various surfaces, making it ideal for on-road adventures.
Customization and Upgradability: Unleash the Full Potential
While the TT-02 is an excellent starting point for newcomers, it also offers a wealth of upgrade options. Enthusiasts can enhance their model with Tamiya's Hop-Up Options, such as high-performance dampers, precision bearings, and upgraded motors, to boost speed and agility. The adjustable gear ratio, track width, and wheelbase further allow for tailored tuning, making it a versatile choice for competitive racing or casual fun.
Assembly and Setup: A Gateway for New RC Hobbyists
Building the Tamiya Lancia Delta Integrale on the TT-02 chassis is an educational experience, perfect for beginners. The assembly kit format encourages learning mechanical skills, from installing the 540-brushed motor to configuring the bell-crank steering mechanism.
