    The front universal driveshafts are made out of steel (black) and the rear universal driveshafts are made out of aluminum (blue anodized) Probably has a front spool.

    My TB Evolution IV also had blue shafts in the rear. They are much lighter than the steel ones.

  • @nickrobertson2450
    @nickrobertson2450 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Think the rear shafts are light weight alloy ones while front will be harder probably steel ones as they take more load/stress.
    What I noticed was the lower turnbuckles at the rear, are they the lower arms? Or to adjust the rear toe in?

    I'm still running my TA06... Have a small fortune invested. Unlike with many of Tamiya's off-road options, it seems their track cars get complete redesigns every couple years. The problem I see with this is parts availability. Once a new TA or TB is released, all the parts for the previous one get really hard to find. For example, I can't find new belts for my TA06 anymore. I think that the next time I build a track car I'm going with a TRF 420 or 419 as those models are much more stable.

    • @RCKickschannel
      @RCKickschannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It must be frustrating for racers when parts start to dry up and you have invested so much money and effort into getting a chassis just how you like it. It’s not like collectors as we only drive cars slowly now and again and most of the time it’s sitting on the cool wall.

    I have an original X-ray T1, raced it at my local club. It’s been in bits for ages though and is a bit beaten up. The club closed years ago. It was fun in the day though. I should one day get it back together as a shelf queen, I have a new bottom chassis unused for it.

    We have a new onroad track coming near me... going to try it with some TT02 AND kyosho Fazer Mk2 cars.... if we get into it heavily over the next year or so, this chassis is something I'd look into, as it's not super expensive like the other Carbon and Aluminum TC chassis kits...
    I honestly have decently high hopes for enjoying onroad, but definitely won't go all in on 600-800$ kits any time soon....

    I'm definitely interested in this chassis, last 'racing' chassis I had was a TA05 IFS and TA05 Pro, many years ago. Sold all of my RC gear years ago when I moved, now I regret it so much. It'll be interesting to see how much Tamiya charge for this one though......

  • @beanbagbeanbag
    @beanbagbeanbag 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Reason for the different shafts is they use an aluminium one on the rear and a steel one on the front, due to the extra load from a direct coupling, which is typically used these days instead of a front diff.

    • @karlkling439
      @karlkling439 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes I'd love to see one built. Very interesting design.
    I wonder why the V-shape though? It will raise the COG upwards very slightly for sure overall. But maybe it also moves the weight inboard slightly, which helps the turning as a trade-off against COG? I'd love to see one live though. Surely it only has one diff & front spool?

    I need to know more details about the chassis before I say I’d want to see it on the channel so far I’m conflicted on wanting one I haven’t run a competitive Tamiya touring car since my TA04R (My FF03R was more just something different to run) I am in the market for a new 17.5 TC 🤔

    Not a huge belt drive fan. More than likely will not pick this chassis up unless it goes to a shaft driven configuration.

    • @perfectsplit5515
      @perfectsplit5515 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Belt and chain drives always have issues with tensioning and slack. Which do not exist with shaft drive. It is ironic that every 4WD world champion buggy from 1985-2003 was either belt or chain drive.

    The blue anodized in the rear are light shaft for more rotation speed the front are heavy shaft I almost have all the ta0's accept ta01 and ta02 I even brought ta07 pro ta07 ms and msx I collect them the ms and msx are going to be worth a lot

    • @Triggered-RC
      @Triggered-RC 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Godidear
      @Godidear 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah they do cost a lot but the way the rc game is now its crazy when the ms and msx are no longer here the value could double or triple these are very high end cars and the msx comes with 2 chassis carbon fiber and aluminum tamiya cars has value damn near all off them lol and that's wild and for that reason I dont mind spending that type of money and the Ta07 is a popular car and uses other trf series parts so parts for the ta07 will be around for awhile parts or no parts they still will have value just look how much the want for vintage vehicles the rc game is like this once it goes out of stock the value goes up and this is not only with rc this is with everything yeah this is our world today everything is profitable even your life lol

    Look at what’s included in prior “Pro” kits: not much, unfortunately. Tamiya doesn’t even include tires in the “Pro” kits. They throw in a bit of blue anodized items and call it good at an RTR price.
    I’ll likely get one as I love the Tamiya of old, but present Tamiya is anything but the Tamiya of old. I want them to succeed and I want to give them cash for exciting products, but this isn’t it.

    • @crnkin2
      @crnkin2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      unfortunately it's par for the course these days. Schumacher, TLR, TA etc all do the same thing. I think it's because a lot of racers actually prefer it this way as they need so many different tyre compounds, different turn motors (and therefore gearing) etc

    • @bravo0105
      @bravo0105 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, there’s no doubt of that.
      Yet Tamiya used to have a mid-grade offering, between TT chassis and Pro/TRF, of TA and TB chassis kits that included a body, tires, inserts, and full ball bearings.
      Where’s the novice/casual hobbyist to go after a TT chassis?

    • @ChrisCO930
      @ChrisCO930 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@bravo0105 I run a TB05PRO for that purpose, I wanted something better than a TT chassis but not as specialized as the race touring cars. The TB05PRO has been fantastic, I got it at a great price, very durable (I run it on 8.5t 2S), works under scale Tamiya bodies and is a step above the TT chassis. It would be hopeless in a race class but that's not why I have it. If the TA08 is as expensive as most of Tamiya's other recent releases then I am not sure what the point is.

    What is the actual point of this thing? It is no good for racing other than a Tamiya spec class which very few run outside of Japan and in all other markets it will most likely start nudging the price of the more competitive chassis. Are Tamiya going to use this to underpin some bodied kits for consumers who want a bit more than the very toy like TT based vehicles?
