Let’s Drive: TT-02 on the Trails

I wanted to see what the TT-02 would be like on some nature and bike trails. I switched back to the stock tires for this run. They look more realistic. Let me run the car lower and give the car more slide action.

A few things stood out:

Wider, softer ground with leaves, bridges, and some rougher sections. The TT-02 actually looked pretty at home out there.

Bike Trails:

The harder dirt and clay made the car more unpredictable, although I didn’t know why at the time. The trails had better obstacles and jumps for a more realistic rally look.

Much tighter, but the wooden turns and hills made for a really fun challenge.

What I Learned:

  • Driving: The small jumps and bumps were handled well, but this wasn’t the right place to judge the suspension because I hadn’t driven the trail before.
  • Stock tires = better sliding and a more realistic look.
  • The TT-02 is pretty fun away from the track.
