The TT01 rear upright can be used with TT02B BUT you must replace the upper linkage. This new linkage must be longer and thinner. Also, it will be angled upon installation. The lower mounting point of the TT01 upright needs to be filed a little bit (so to make it 1mm thinner).  

Nitro RC cars are equipped with small two-stroke engines that run on a fuel mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and synthetic oil (the engine is often equipped with a pull-start mechanism for easy starting). They typically have a multi-speed transmission system that allows the driver to control the speed and torque of the vehicle. Some models […]
