This kit contains lower and upper chassis with accessories. Front and rear shock towers with 
accessories  are  sold  separately.  All  parts  are  made  of  CNC  machined  carbon  plate  2,5mm 
thick. It is also possible to make the kit of glassfiber. 

To  be  able  to  use  this  kit,  you  need  to  have  mounted  Yeah  Racing  knuckle  arms  -  #TA01-
006BU (

link

) on your car. If you have another knuckle arms, please contact us. There is also 

need to have driveshafts allowing big steering angle. Dogbones are highly not recommended. 
Steering and upper arm turnbuckles need to  be jointed, as  in  the pictures. With this  kit,  you 
can  change  battery  position  to  achieve  required  weight  distribution.  Recommended  battery 
position  is  transversal,  right  behind  servo.  Lenghtwise  position  possible  too,  but  in  some 
cases, connectors could be hard to acces.

 Please check first, that you have Tamiya TA02. Distance on your original chassis mounting 
holes should be 208mm. Otherwise you have probably TA01 which has longer chassis.

1)

 

Screw the lever extender to servosaver. In case you have OEM saver, drill second hole 
in it to fix its position. Tuning or Hi-Torque saver recommended. 

2)

 

Screw servo with countersunk screw and nuts. Servo has to be on the top of upper 
deck, see pictures. 

3)

 

Screw upper plate to front and rear gear case as shown in the picture. In front, upper 
plate is above the case, in rear it is under the case. In rear part, put M3 nut inside the 
hole as in the picture. It will help you to keep the nut in its position. 

 

4)

 

Grind rear end of chassis as shown.  

 
 
 

5)

 

Mount lower plate to gear cases. Use spacers between lower deck and gear case. It is 
possible to glue on spacers to lower plate for easier handling, but be careful about

correct position. These spacers are lowering the gravity center and helping to keep 
bottom line of your car without edges. 

6)

 

Screw knuckle arm levers, each with two M3 screws. Watch orientation in next 
picture. 

7)

 

Use threaded rods to extend your steering rods and mount them as in the picture. 

 

 

8)

 

After placing your electronics, check weight distribution. If it’s not 50:50 between 
front and rear axle, add some weight where it’s needed.

 Shock towers from this kit are made to allow more choices of damper mounting. They also 
allow to fully utilize working range of dampers, so car is able to touch the ground. If not other 
mentioned,  shock  towers  are  designed  for  OEM  dampers,  but  wide  range  of  dampers  is 
produced as well. In that case, dimension of fully pressed damper length  between centers of 

mounting  holes  is  required  information,  dimension  of  free  length  /  not  pressed  damper  is 
useless  in  this  case,  because  it  is  important  that  the  chassis  can  touch  the  ground  when 
dampers are fully pressed. 
When  using  this  shock  towers,  use  dampers  with  ball  ends.  This  shock  towers  are  also 
providing more roll of chassis.

1)

 

 Mount front shock tower with use of included mounting block. 

 

2)

 

We recommend to use longer ball ends (for example #53601). OEM ones could be too 
short with new position of your upper suspension arm. 

3)

 

If you will use outer holes in shock towers to mount upper suspension arms, you can 
skip this. When using inner holes (recommended at front axle) cut a little your gear 
cases as shown in the picture. 

 

4)

 

Use washers to mount body holders. Cut slightly the edges of mounting part of body 
holders.

Battery holder is produced in two versions, one for transversal and one for lengthwise position 
of  short  LiPo  battery.  When  using  some  of  battery  types,  there  could  be  difficult  to  access 
connectors  in  case  of  lengthwise  position.  There  is  also  produced  transversal  battery  holder 
for standard  size  LiPo  battery, short  LiPo is  recommended anyway. Holder fixes battery  in 
rear / front, left / right axis, not in upwards direction. One part of holder is fixed, second part 
is sliding to be able to change the battery easily. See pictures at the end of this document.
