Tamiya Plasma Edge II Buggy TT-02B 1:10 RC - 58630

Excellent value, bought for my grandchild who is thrilled to bits.

Yet another awesome Tamiya rc. I'm very new to building these, my second one, and this was a fair bit more integrated than the lunchbox (my only other build) but it was straight forward and extremely fun. I haven't done the body yet as I don't have paint but will be getting that today. She runs, and pretty quick too. I'm not a huge fan of the white shocks but I'll upgrade these anyway, it's only the look against everything else though so just my preference.

This is a Tamiya, so in kit form. Usual high quality Tamiya build. Would have been 5 stars but disappointed to find it was supplied with a Carson esc which are junk and prone to failing and burning up. I would advise immediately using an official Tamiya esc instead.

Very good item easy to build

I bought this over Christmas present to myself, its a good car but it my just be me but one month on and I have 4 bald tires and my car is now minus its rear wing , its not ideally suited to grass unless its short as in has very low ground clearance and the shocks are a little soft I suggest ball racing the gearboxes and a motor upgrade

El pedido llego super rapido y muy bien cuidado. No queria subir la reseña hasta tenerlo casi acabado. Me e tardado lo mio en montarlo en mis ratos libres. Sobre la marcha me e fijado que algunas piezas de plastico sera mejor que las sustituya si quiero competir con el y que no partan con facilidad. como el eje central de transmision y la torre de choque de los amortiguadores, que acabara partiendose con los saltos de la pista de carreras por la dureza de los amortiguadores.ire pillandole piezas para que resista bien. En general es un coche de inicio a TT electrico bueno que con un poco de tuneo sacara un buen rendimiento en las carreras. Se gana las 5 estrellas 😸👍

Reading reviews was either all the parts are here or some more needed. Photos are right from the box so you can order all them at the same time. Looking forward to getting this one running .

Ideal für den Anfänger - recht einfacher Zusammenbau. Kinder sollten von den Eltern dabei begleitet werden.

I am almost done building this kit, with just the shell to paint. I went with an 80A ESC from Surplus Hobby and went with a brushless 3650 / 3900KV motor, and Zeee 5200 3S battery. This RC setup is very fast and handles nice and solid. I want to try it in a large parking lot. so I can go full throttle for more than a few seconds. I had hit a brick lining in a yard and it held up well, nothing loosened up, this wasn't full speed but maybe 10 to 15 mph. I want to note some things to be aware of. 1. Ball Bearing upgrade... I upgraded to ball bearings, tried the Tamiya brand TT-02/TT-02B ball bearing pack and I found that the bearings for the wheel cups were too small in diameter and were loose in the wheel cups. Yes, they would work but are not a good tight fit. If you are upgrading to ball bearings, get the Fast Eddie - Tamiya Plasma Edge II OR Neo Scorcher TT-02B Sealed Bearing Kit which has the proper size ball bearings. 2. During testing the Tamiya ESC was bad, I will need to contact Tamiya for a replacement so I can use the included brushed motor on a basher car. When turning on the ESC there was a sizzling sound and won't go into programming mode to change to brushless, just a flashing green light. 3. There was an extra washer, which was good because I used it to screw in the backplate where you need one screw. Without the washer, the screw just pops in past the backplate. The instructions didn't mention this, but that seems to be where the extra washer Is used. 4. The servo I bought had a screw that wasn't long enough, and the screws in the kit didn't fit. I had to go to the hardware store to get a screw that was long enough. This isn't an issue with the Tamiya kit, but rather something to be aware of with the servo you use. 5. The shell is clear and will need to be painted, so be prepared to buy paint. 6. UPDATE: I tried a generic brand aluminum drive-shaft and joint-shafts. The driveshaft wax not long enough and there is too much play, so much that the front joint-shaft can be pulled right out of the bevel gear that connects with the differential, while installed. **Go with Tamiya brand aluminum driveshaft and joint cups and those fit correct. The plastic driveshaft and joint cups included in the kit fit correctly fine andcseem to hold up well. The aluminum parts ate noticeably lighter. 7. The instructions are great, I started with youtube videos then found I could follow along with the instructions quite well. It took me much longer to build this kit up to this point, but I was taking my time and learned a lot from this build and feel I could get through another build much quicker next time.
