Unleashing the Power of the Tamiya 58262 Raybrig NSX 2000
The Tamiya 58262 Raybrig NSX 2000 is a standout in the world of RC on-road racing. Inspired by the iconic NSX racers that made waves in the Japanese GT Championships (JGTC) of 2000, this model captures the essence of the real-life racing machine with its stunning blue and gunmetal livery. The TB-01 chassis underpins this kit, designed specifically for on-road performance with a focus on lightweight construction and efficient power delivery.
Performance-Driven Chassis Design
At the heart of the Tamiya 58262 is the TB-01 chassis, renowned for its robust design and effective power transfer. The longitudinally mounted motor and shaft-driven 4WD system ensure that power is efficiently distributed, providing a stable and responsive driving experience. The chassis features a bathtub-type main frame that contributes to its low center of gravity, enhancing stability during high-speed maneuvers.
Sophisticated Suspension System
The suspension setup on this model is engineered for smooth handling and performance. It incorporates a double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers, allowing for superior shock absorption and maintaining traction on various surfaces. This ensures that the Tamiya 58262 can handle the rigors of competitive racing while delivering a realistic driving experience.
Advanced Lightweight Components
To optimize on-road performance, the Tamiya 58262 includes lightweight components such as an aluminum propeller shaft and ring gears. These enhancements reduce the overall weight by 130g compared to its rally counterpart, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI WRC, making it more agile and responsive on the track.
Aerodynamically Sculpted Body
The polycarbonate body of the Raybrig NSX 2000 is not only a visual masterpiece but also aerodynamically efficient. Designed to mirror its real-world counterpart, it includes sponsor decals and color stickers that simplify the painting process, allowing hobbyists to achieve a professional finish with ease.
Customization with Hop-Up Options
For those looking to tailor their RC car to specific tracks or personal preferences, the TB-01 chassis offers a wide array of hop-up options and spare parts. This flexibility allows racers to fine-tune their setups for optimal performance across different racing conditions.
