Boost TA02 handling with a carbon conversion

The Tamiya TA02 is well suited to a precision upgrade using the Tamiya 47479 - 1/10 TA02 Carbon Chassis Conversion Kit. Replacing the bathtub chassis with carbon upper and lower decks provides a firmer platform that helps steering precision and consistency during aggressive driving.

Performance and build highlights

The conversion pack contains parts that focus on stiffness and reliable mounting:

Carbon Fiber Upper and Lower Decks: High rigidity plates that form the double-deck chassis and carry the Tamiya twin star emblem.
Carbon Damper Stays: Front and rear stays to give more repeatable damper geometry and improved shock control.
Metal Components: Supplied front bumper support stay, aluminium spacers and a strengthened steering mount to lower flex under load.
Additional Parts: Includes nylon tie bands, a caution sticker, double-sided mounting tape and small parts needed for assembly.

How much lap time improvement can I expect?

Lap time gains depend on driver skill and setup, but you should notice crisper turn-in and more predictable handling thanks to the increased chassis stiffness.

Do I need different screws or hardware for the carbon plates?

The kit includes necessary small parts, but you may prefer stainless steel or thread-locked fasteners in high-stress areas for added security.

Is the carbon conversion suitable for club racing?

Yes, the conversion gives a stiffer, more consistent platform that is commonly used by racers who want precise feedback and easier setup changes between meetings.

How should I protect the carbon from damage?

Avoid hard impacts and use protective bumpers or foam where appropriate. Inspect mounting holes regularly and replace cracked plates immediately.
