Yeah's kit is not worthy. EagleRacing is better in every way. I have used both, and the YEAH is good for a shelf queen, but bends when used for racing.

I'll share a picture of a full build (TT02) as i curently have two kits i havent finished. A buggy and a Car.

The steering parts he used in the video (kit) can full-lock during a impact, which can then break CVD's/UNIVERSALS. [buggy suffers the worst]

whats really strange about all the tt02 upgrades is, no one sells a UPPER brace for this kit, but it makes such a performance upgrade.

Totally agree. This is just basically a shelf queen that will get run a few time.
Here's the completed build.

Shelf-queens are FUN to build. Anyone know if a thread exsists for such?

car,buggy,truck,etc... dosent matter, its all about edge of performance and fashion. their is one sad part about all this..

when building such, parts and rarity can drive one mad. I remember building a LOSI MICRO-T with every part blue. since losi killed this line (micro) its impossible to find needed parts anymore so im afraid to even drive it.

current tt2-b in process..

when its complete, it will also have all the best performance upgrades as well.
the steering used in the pictures was a mock up, and will be swapped out for the ANTI-lock versions. The Aluminum arms have delrin inserts to prevent them from bending in impacts and also keep tollerances tight.

i use a tt02-b as a basher, and have found many fixes, upgrades to make it a solid , almost bomb-proof car. (i also think it could hold its own at a worlds level RC event)

(steel ring&pinion gears, titanium pins and screws, upper brace, lower arms brace front&rear ,20-30deg front c-hubs, better driveshafts, etc...)
it takes some serious effort to find tweaks and fixes because i have to translate japanese webpages and then read their forums.

Note: if you happen to have a tt02b, stay away from metal/hardend spur gears. they work great, but actualy hurt performace. Best to stick with the titanium input shafts and delrin spur.
