Tamiya 1/10 XM-01 Pro 4WD Electric RC Rally Car Kit

Tamiya's 1/10 XM-01 Pro comes equipped with oil-filled gear differentials (both 39T and 40T included) for smoother handling and precise power distribution between wheels. This translates into more consistent performance, particularly through corners and on varying terrain. The ability to switch between gear sizes lets experienced drivers fine-tune the handling characteristics to match their preferences and track conditions.

The XM-01 Pro features an adjustable wheelbase designed to accommodate various M-chassis bodies, giving users a multitude of customisation options to achieve their perfect rally car aesthetic. Additionally, varying wheelbase lengths offer subtle handling differences – a shorter wheelbase provides nimbler cornering, while a longer wheelbase offers enhanced stability on straights and rougher surfaces.

This protective cover shields the XM-01 Pro's chassis components from dirt, moisture, and debris, extending the lifespan of those vital parts and reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Its inclusion of wheel well covers further contributes to a clean, aerodynamic design, while adding an additional layer of protection for the chassis.

The new hub carriers and rear uprights on the XM-01 Pro allow adjustment of the car's ground clearance. This feature is essential for adapting to different racing conditions – a higher ground clearance setting suits rough terrain, while lowering the ride height can provide an advantage on smoother, high-grip tracks.

The inclusion of aluminium shock absorbers offers improved durability compared to their plastic counterparts, crucial for withstanding the rigours of off-road racing. Additionally, these high-quality shocks allow for precise adjustments to ride height, spring tension, and oil viscosity – key factors in fine-tuning the car's suspension behaviour to your liking.

The XM-01 Pro comes equipped with ball bearings throughout its drivetrain, significantly reducing rolling resistance compared to basic bushings. This efficiency translates into increased speed, improved acceleration, and longer battery run times. Additionally, ball bearings minimise friction and heat buildup, contributing to the overall longevity of the drivetrain components.
