Enter a new top model in the TA08 chassis range: the TA08R takes the 2-belt driven 4WD TA08 PRO chassis (Item 58693) and loads it with a wealth of Hop-Up Options and even more some dedicated parts for great performance and drivability.
About the Model
This is a 1/10 scale R/C touring car chassis kit.
The 2.0mm carbon fiber upper deck connects front and rear bulkheads for pitch rigidity and utilizes a 630 ball bearing at the rear for roll rigidity.
Front and rear aluminum upper arm mounts allow enhanced rigidity and intuitive drive.
The aluminum motor mount has two screw-attached, upper deck attachment points.
Rear body mount uses carbon fiber plates and aluminum posts, and limits body wobble and ensures stable rear traction. Body mount extensions (from Item 54604) allow attachment of bodies of different heights.
Additional ribs on the lower deck limit its deformation for superior suspension performance and help limit damage after unexpected crashes.
Gear units are front direct pulley (aluminum direct coupling) and rear gear differential (aluminum differential joint). Item 42351 TRF420 Center Pulley and 71T spur gear are used at the center for stability even under high load.
The drive shafts are double cardan shafts at the front and lightweight universal shafts at the rear.
Front aluminum pipes and cross joints are lightweight aluminum.
