Hey all,

Just wondering if any of you mechanically minded folk would be able to help me diagnose an issue I've been having with my CR-Z.

Issue description

I've had an intermittent issue with the rear parking sensors over the last 2 years - potentially caused by water ingress and became intermittent during hot and cold weather.

In the last 6 months when turning the car on (with the parking sensor button turned on) it comes up with a "Check system" and a picture of the rear of the car and sensors.

When the button is turned off - the message & warning light goes away.

Fix attempt & further investigation

I noticed the LED on the button itself had blown, and after replacing it the light works again (hurray!) but the check system message pops up.

I've taken the rear bumper off, removed the the sensors and cleaned them and tested them - same thing.

I have noticed the rear of three of the connectors have cracking on the soft rubbery plastic part which potentially may have let water inside.

However... when all sensors are disconnected the image on screen shows check system and all 4 sensors. When all sensors are connected the image on screen shows check system and only the far left and far right.

Self hypothesis

I've determined the next step and resolve for the issue is to replace the two sensors displaying with the issue message. Would you agree?

Also my shark fin cap has come loose - so I think I just need some silicone sealant and effectively glue it back down if I remember correctly?

Ta!

Hey everyone,

A month and a bit ago some knob drove his buggy straight into the side of my TT-02 Type S whilst on its first run. Luckily/sadly the only thing that had gone wrong was a 3x48.5mm shaft holding the lower rear suspension arm in place.

I've ordered a 4 pack of the part I need but in the UK they are out of stock everywhere and back order dates are currently end of August.

I've seen similar dimensions for shock parts on other models and some non kamiya models too but wanted to ask here first.

Pics for help!

Thank you for your help!

(SPB531) Picked it up as the nylon band isn’t the most comfortable when hot and humid outside. Thanks all for the inspiration with showing yours on mesh bands it certainly suits!

Hey all - long time listener, first time caller.

Just wanted to share my first ever RC chassis & body build with you all as you’ve all been a great resource of knowledge, experience & peer pressure to help me get to the finish line!

I’ve previously raced 1/10 touring cars as a teenager in the world of brushed motors, but never built my own car!

There’s a few small things to do - namely source a new trigger for my KO EX-10 Eurus as that broke…

- TT-02 Type S
- Driveline hop ups
- Blitz MK9 bodyshell to match my real car
- Hobbywing Quicrun G2 4000kv
- KO PROPO EX-10 Eurus radio

I’ve learnt a lot through the process and looking forward to giving it a rip soon!
