Overview

Please Note:

The body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate style paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or may cause damage to the body shell's surface.

Tamiya's TA08 PRO Chassis Kit redefines on-road touring car performance by eliminating the upper deck for optimal weight distribution and rigidity. Borrowing design elements from the TRF420, it positions the motor and spur gear strategically. Newly designed upper and lower arms enhance tyre grip, while laid-down Super Short Big Bore dampers provide exceptional shock absorption.

The TA08R is a limited-edition version that adds a plethora of key Hop-Up Options right out of the box, along with a few parts only available in this edition. The included aluminium and carbon fibre hop-up parts, usually sold separately and sometimes exclusive to this option, enhance the chassis's performance and visual appeal right out of the box.
