Tamiya 47498 TA-08R On-Road Performance Chassis Kit  [47498]

Track-Focused Design for Controlled Handling

The Tamiya 47498 TA-08R is a 1/10 scale electric touring chassis crafted to deliver predictable steering and strong mid-corner stability. Its component layout favours straightforward setup adjustments for a range of driving styles.

Stiff Carbon Brace and Rear Bearing Setup

The TA-08R uses a 2.0mm carbon fibre upper deck to link the bulkheads and increase pitch stiffness, and a 630-ball bearing at the rear helps lock in roll resistance. Aluminium upper arm mounts enhance structural integrity under aggressive cornering.

Aluminium Reinforcements and Drive Train

Aluminium parts in the front direct pulley and rear gear differential reduce flex and friction in the drivetrain. The inclusion of the TRF420 centre pulley with a 71T spur gear keeps rotational stability, while the double cardan front shafts and light universals at the rear transmit power with minimal loss.

Durability Features and Shock Control

Aluminium wheel hubs limit wheel distortion and aid tyre contact consistency, and added ribs on the lower deck stop deformation that can upset suspension geometry. Carbon damper stays combined with Super Short Big Bore dampers give a good balance between absorption and rebound control.

With a sturdy build and tunable layout, the Tamiya 47498 TA-08R suits racers who want a dependable platform for both practice sessions and club competition.
