Yeah Racing have two new options parts for the Tamiya TT-02 4WD touring car chassis available in the form of aluminium upper suspension mounts and adjustable steering tie-rods. Starting with the upper suspension mount, the part is CNC-machined from aluminium and designed to reduce flex in the gearbox area for a more precise and accurate steering and suspension action. The mount comes blue anodised and in sets of two allowing to convert both the front and the rear of the chassis at once. The second new part is the adjustable steering tie-rod set, again for the TT-02. Designed not only to reduce friction between the steering bellcranks and the steering knuckles, the linkages also allow for quick and precise toe angle adjustment in order to fine-tune the steering characteristic of Tamiya’s entry-level chassis. Included are six delrin ball ends, three left/right thread turnbuckles and suitable ball connectors.
