Tamiya TA08 Pro RC Touring Car: The Choice of Champions for On-Road Racing!
Ideal for experienced kit builders and racers
High end racing technology
Highly adjustable chassis design
The Tamiya TA08 PRO Chassis Kit represents the pinnacle of touring car performance. This 1/10 scale chassis is designed for serious racers who demand the absolute best in handling, speed, and adjustability. Building upon the legacy of the TA series, the TA08 PRO incorporates a range of advanced features and refinements to deliver an unparalleled racing experience.
The TA08 PRO features a slim, carbon fibre-reinforced resin chassis with a stepped-V design that provides exceptional rigidity and minimises contact with the track during cornering. The motor is positioned similarly to the TRF420, with the spur gear in front, resulting in a balanced weight distribution and a stable drive. Newly designed upper and lower arms, along with laid-down Super Short Big Bore (SSBB) dampers, maximise tyre grip and responsiveness.
The chassis is packed with features that enhance its performance and tunability. The steering system utilises in-line left and right tie-rods, minimising toe change during suspension motion for a precise and consistent feel. The angled battery and R/C equipment placement optimises weight distribution and improves roll and pitch flex. The rear suspension mounts are attached to the underside of the chassis for increased rigidity and grip, while the 'toe control' design further enhances cornering performance.
With its combination of advanced design, high-quality materials, and extensive tuning options, the Tamiya TA08 PRO Chassis Kit is the ultimate choice for serious racers who are looking to dominate the track.
The carbon fibre lower deck features a unique V-shaped (Stepped V: SV) design that optimises rigidity, lowers the centre of gravity, and reduces interference with the road surface. This innovative design eliminates the need for an upper deck, resulting in a lighter and more efficient chassis.
The double wishbone front suspension, with A-type upper arms and SSBB dampers, delivers precise handling and a smooth, responsive ride. The steering system features a straight-line tie rod arrangement that minimises toe angle changes during suspension movement, providing predictable and straightforward manoeuvrability.
The drivetrain features 44-size universal drive shafts for efficient power transfer, and the same high-performance 37T gear differential as the TRF420. The differential's effectiveness can be adjusted by changing the oil viscosity, and durable steel joint cups ensure long-lasting performance.
The urethane bumper with front holes and eccentric body mounts allows for 2mm of forward body adjustment, providing a customisable fit and improved compatibility with different body styles.
The angled battery and RC unit mounting configuration contributes to a low centre of gravity, reduced weight, and optimal chassis rigidity for enhanced handling and stability.
The spur gear's position in front of the motor minimises the difference in front and rear belt lengths, contributing to balanced power delivery and stable controllability.
The car utilises the same high-performance 37T gear differential as the TRF420. Fine-tune its effectiveness by adjusting the viscosity of the enclosed oil. Durable steel differential joint cups ensure long-lasting performance.
