Tamiya TA08 Pro Chassis Kit

The Tamiya TA08 Pro Chassis Kit is a 1/10 scale 4WD RC car kit, built on Tamiya’s TA08 PRO chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.

Key specifications

• The battery pack and servo are positioned on a slight angle (about 10 degrees) to reduce surface contact while cornering and facilitate optimum weight distribution
• Spur gear is positioned in front of motor which produces stable drivability
• 2 belt-driven 4WD uses TRF420 oil-filled gear differentials and steel TA07 differential joint cups
• A-arm suspension arm gives your model a low centre of gravity, enhanced with laid down dampers
• Camber and caster angles are adjustable by turnbuckle shafts and lower arm spacers respectively
• Comes with Super Short Big Bore size shock dampers
• Universal drive shafts and full bearings included
• Rotating body mounts by 180 degrees switches between standard and 2mm advanced body positions. This feature allows the user to change the balance of the car with any selected body

Tamiya kits are designed to be built with hand tools and a clear manual, which is what makes them a common first build as well as a shelf favourite.
