Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Porsche body pre-painted?

No, the body comes clear and requires masking and painting with Tamiya Polycarbonate spray paints.

Does the kit include a remote control?

This specific kit generally requires a separate transmitter, receiver, steering servo, and electronic speed controller (ESC).

Can I use LiPo batteries with this car?

Yes, but ensure your ESC is compatible with the voltage and discharge rates of LiPo batteries.

How hard is the TT02 to assemble for a beginner?

Tamiya manuals are legendary for their clarity, making this a great kit for beginners who follow the step-by-step instructions carefully.

Are upgrade parts available for the TT02?

Yes, there is a massive ecosystem of factory Tamiya and third-party 'hop-up' parts available to improve speed, handling, and durability.

What type of paint should I use for the body?

You must use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate (Lexan), such as the Tamiya PS series.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle pulls to one side

Adjust the steering trim on your transmitter and check that the front wheel alignment (toe) is set correctly.

Excessive noise from the drivetrain

Check the gear mesh between the pinion and spur gear; ensure it is not too tight or too loose, and inspect for trapped pebbles.

Vehicle is slow to accelerate

Ensure the battery is fully charged and check the motor connections for loose wires or oxidized contacts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-detail scale reproduction of the classic Porsche RSR
  • Extremely durable and forgiving TT02 chassis architecture
  • Extensive aftermarket upgrade availability
  • Excellent instructional manual suitable for hobbyists

Cons

  • Requires assembly of both chassis and body
  • Standard friction dampers may need upgrading for competitive racing
  • Requires separate purchase of radio system and battery
  • Plastic bushings are standard; bearings recommended for long-term use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly of the TT02 requires precision tools, specifically a set of hobby-grade hex drivers and side cutters. When building, ensure all plastic parts are trimmed cleanly to prevent binding in the drivetrain. To maximize longevity, it is highly recommended to replace the included plastic bushings with metal ball bearings during the initial build to reduce friction. Regularly check the drive shaft and differentials for debris after running, especially if driving on outdoor pavement. Keep the chassis away from water, as the electronics are not waterproof, and store the vehicle in a cool, dry place to prevent the body paint from fading over time.
