Get Rolling with the Plasma Edge II on the TT-02B Chassis

The Tamiya Plasma Edge II TT-02B is aimed squarely at people wanting to learn RC off-road basics without a long, complex build. It pairs a largely pre-assembled TT-02B structure with the bold pre-painted Plasma Edge II body in purple and green, so you can be track-ready faster while still learning setup skills.

Balanced Chassis for Easy Handling

The TT-02B platform brings a shaft-driven 4WD system and independent double wishbone suspension for predictable behaviour across rough ground. CVA oil shock absorbers help manage bumps and jumps, and the mirrored suspension parts make adjustments and repairs more straightforward for new users.

Adjustable Ratios to Match Conditions

By changing pinion gears you can dial in the drive ratio to match local conditions. That flexibility lets you favour stronger acceleration for technical sections or higher top speed for faster layouts, making the Plasma Edge II adaptable to many driving styles.

Semi-Built for Confidence and Learning

Key elements such as the lower deck, gearboxes, motor and dampers arrive assembled to reduce initial complexity. This semi-built approach helps newcomers focus on setup and tuning rather than struggling with every small assembly step.
