So here is why sooner or later you'll have to replace the feeble plastic parts the standard TT02 Tamiya chassis. Years ago the standard plastic parts that came in RC combo kits were made much better. You really had to suffer a hard crash for it to break, such as to the curb. I've driven the TT02 as standard without any up grade parts for just a couple months. As I thought the weakest part of this chassis is around the wheels. Just a few hours of drifting and the "front uprights" gave out. The uprights gave out just under natural stresses. Well it's time for the upgrade!

Here is what I'll be replacing it with.

| Square brand aluminum front uprights |
These weren't cheap but they add a mighty cool touch of class. They are solid machined peace of aluminum. Cheers to durability!!!

Square TT02 Front Upright for Tamiya
The rear sets are on a four month back order. Really popular!

I decided well why stop there let's additional upgrades for called for so installed ball bearings new gear box joints and disc breaks. Just a few extras and the chassis has a new appeal.
