Experience Cutting-Edge Engineering with the Tamiya 47498 TA-08
The Tamiya 47498 TA-08 chassis is not just another RC car kit; it's a testament to Tamiya's dedication to innovation and performance in the world of on-road touring cars. Designed for enthusiasts who crave precision and adaptability, this 1/10 scale electric-powered model is packed with features that push the boundaries of what RC touring cars can achieve.
Revolutionary Design Elements for Superior Performance
At the heart of the TA-08 is a new 2.0mm carbon fiber upper deck that provides unmatched pitch rigidity by connecting the front and rear bulkheads. This design feature, combined with a 630-ball bearing at the rear, ensures roll rigidity and stability during aggressive maneuvers. Aluminum upper arm mounts enhance the chassis' integrity, making it resilient against the forces encountered in high-speed racing.
Advanced Components for Enhanced Control
The TA-08 isn't just about rigidity; it's also about control. The front direct pulley system and rear gear differential, both enhanced with aluminum components, deliver silky-smooth power transfer. The TRF420 Center Pulley and 71T spur gear maintain stability even under high loads, making it an ideal choice for racers looking for consistent performance. The inclusion of double cardan shafts at the front and lightweight universal shafts at the rear ensures that every ounce of power is efficiently translated to the track.
Stability, Durability, and Flexibility
With the TA-08, Tamiya introduces aluminum wheel hubs that minimize wheel deformation, providing stable tire grip throughout your race. The lower deck is fortified with additional ribs to prevent deformation, enhancing suspension performance and reducing the risk of damage during unexpected impacts. The chassis also features carbon fiber damper stays and Super Short Big Bore dampers, delivering exceptional shock absorption and ride comfort.
