TT0B Speed Demon

[OSRC]

We've been doing a lot of on road parking lot racing lately. A bit of a change from our normal trail runs. Forgot how much fun it was to go fast!

Always wanted to do an on-road buggy - wider stance, bigger tires, they can handle a lot more power than a touring car. I've got a 5700kv setup here that I tried to run in my XV01 and it was just too much for me. So I started looking for a cheapish buggy to do a conversion just so I could put this motor in it.

Using som E-cash and discounts, I picked up a TT02B MS. I know there are better buggies out there, but I have a TT02 touring car and it's nice being able to mix and match hop-ups between the two.

It's set up with a 15t brushed for now just to sort out the suspension and trims. No hop ups installed yet, the MS is for sure the way to go as it comes pretty loaded right out of the box. Tires are from an older TL01B kit that I clipped off the spikes and sanded down into slicks.


The rear has a custom shock tower that lowers the wing an inch and allows me to run Tamiya'a mini CVA's at 55mm all around.


Front is lowered with the same 55mm shocks and threw some universals in there as well. Ok, I guess I did add 1 hopup!


Ovrerall stance is about the same ride height as a touring car. With the wing lowered, it's pretty sleek looking. I hated the body to be honest and was looking for another but once I got it all painted and set on the chassis, it grew on me. Defintely looks the part for a speed machine




Fun little build, can't wait to get it and and stretch its legs...

That looks much, much better with the wing lowered. It really brings the body together and makes it look a helluva lot better.

Is the rear shock mount made from scratch or did you modify an existing one?

[OSRC]

Made from some 6061 scrap I had laying around.

Nice work. It looks like a factory part.

Liking what I see here. It definitely looks like a go-fast rig. I've built a few speed Maxx trucks but never got a confirmed speed. I've been itching to get a go-fast.
