Tamiya 84205 - 1/10 TB-03 VDS Drift Spec Chassis Kit  [84205]

Mastering the Art of Drift with Tamiya's TB-03 VDS

For those passionate about precision drifting, the Tamiya 84205 TB-03 VDS Drift Spec Chassis Kit delivers an unparalleled experience. Building on the legacy of the TA05-VDF, this model introduces a shaft-driven 4WD system that enhances direct response, making it a top choice for dedicated RC drift racers.

The Engineering Behind the TB-03 VDS

The TB-03 VDS features a robust 2.5mm carbon fiber lower deck, complemented by aluminum center front and rear gearbox braces for enhanced structural integrity. Its layout is meticulously designed for drifting, incorporating a 2-piece propeller shaft along the chassis centerline. This configuration strategically positions the battery pack, motor, and radio gear on either side, ensuring balanced weight distribution.

Precision Suspension and Steering

This model boasts a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system equipped with short reversible suspension arms, similar to those found in the TB-03, TA-05 Version 2, and TRF series. The inclusion of TRF aluminum threaded shock bodies and Teflon piston dampers provides superior damping performance. Meanwhile, the parallel geometry steering system allows for symmetrical steering angles, facilitating seamless counter-steering maneuvers.

Performance-Driven Features

The TB-03 VDS is equipped with a front ball differential and a rear direct coupling (spool), enhancing traction and control during drifts. Aluminum turnbuckle shafts, universal shafts, and hex wheel hubs contribute to the vehicle's durability and precision. Additionally, the hi-torque servo saver and steel diff joints ensure long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.

The Tamiya TB-03 VDS is ideal for seasoned RC drift enthusiasts seeking a high-performance chassis with customizable features. Its precision engineering and drift-optimized design make it a standout choice for competitive racing.
