Tamiya 1/10 TA08 Pro Electric On Road Chassis Kit

Speedy and controllable 2 belt-driven 4WD chassis in TA series!

The Tamiya TA series continues to evolve. This iteration, the TA08 PRO, further evolves on-road touring car driving with this hopped-up chassis. The slim TA08 PRO Chassis Kit eliminates the need for an upper deck, which balances weight and rigidity. Its layout features the motor in near identical position to the TRF420, with the spur gear in front of the motor. Newly designed upper & lower arms make effective use of tyre grip, equipped with laid down SSBB (Super Short Big Bore) dampers. This kit was based on Tamiya's extensive know-how built up through our traditional chassis series and data from racing, and offers plenty of potential for tuning.

Stepped-V chassis moulded in carbon fibre-reinforced resin facilitates rigidity and helps to avoid excessive contact between chassis and track during roll.

This image shows the A-shaped front arms, which work in tandem with Super Short Big Bore dampers. 44mm universal drive shafts are employed.

Here is a close-up on the steering setup, with in-line left and right tie-rods. Suspension motion causes limited toe change, for great steering feel.

The urethane front bumper features cut-away holes. Eccentric body mounts allow a 2mm forward position for easier use of existing bodies.

Angled battery and R/C equipment give optimum weight distribution, and help to bring about excellent roll and pitch flex.

The Stepped V lower deck not only brings about great rigidity, it also removes the necessity for employment of an upper deck.

This image shows off the chassis underside's slim design, helping to minimize time loss from abrasion on the driving surface.

With spur gear ahead of motor, the belts are closer in length to one another, helping facilitate a stable drive with the TA08 PRO.

Holders are used to keep the battery pack securely in place. They feature slits to allow easier use of glass tape for reinforcement.

Gear differentials are the same 37T design as on the TRF420 - change oil to alter their performance. Steel joint cups are highly sturdy.

Rear suspension mounts are attached to the underside, for improved rear rigidity that translates into superior grip.

The rear suspension features a 'toe control' design that sees toe angle alter in conjunction with suspension compression through corners.

A case ensures that cables from the servo, ESC and so on can be kept out of harm's way.

Ten-spoke wheels are moulded in a cool gun metal colour, and add an extra accent to your car.

The kit also features a transponder stay, which will be of particular interest to racers.
