https://www.thercracer.com/2021/03/new-tamiya-touring-chassis-ta08-sneak.html
Tamiya has given a sneak preview of its exciting new mid range racing chassis coming soon. It looks very much like a mix of the TC-01 and TA chassis philosophy. Here is some early info taken from the video
- The new chassis is a dual belt design not single belt like the TA07.
- The chassis has rear Active toe suspension
- The pulley is forward, but not in the middle of the chassis.
- It has TRF420 servo mount and bumper mounts
- It is super low profile (SSBB shocks)
- The arms are based or from the TC01 chassis. Upper arms are new.
- Centre spine (GRP / Aluminium)
- Chassis is V shaped.. this might make it very stiff and not need much of spine.
- Rear belt is on the motor side, this makes the motor stick out more than it should
I will be excited to see more. The car is like a TA07 / TC01 hybrid. Taking the lightweight simple chassis design of the TA series, and taking the arms etc from the TC01..
I love a quick plastic Tamiya tub car. Here is the video, let me know if you spot anything else. Official info coming from Tamiya on Friday 12th March.
