Welcome to the first part of my Tamiya TT-02 Type-S build, where we complete the steps 1 to 13. The TT-02 Type-S is a fantastic 1/10 RC kit, and promises to be a good performer. But can I adapt it for rally use to make the most of the Tommi Makinen Lancer Evo body that I have lined up for it? It's going to be fun finding out. Hopefully, you might find a few hints and tips about building this Tamiya as we progress through the build stages!


As always, a big thank you to my friend, Rob, for all his help and advice making this video. I hope you visit his awesome RC and modelling channel here:    / @robbrennanrc
