TA08 Pro Breakdown: Tunable On-Road Platform

The Tamiya TA08 Pro is aimed at builders who prioritise setup flexibility and composure at speed. This 1/10 touring chassis kit combines a low centre of gravity with accessible tuning points to help you refine handling.

Chassis Evolution with Practical Gains

Replacing the typical upper deck, the Stepped-V main chassis improves weight distribution and adds stiffness where it matters most. The arrangement enhances steering precision and helps maintain traction through direction changes.

Stable Gear and Motor Placement

The TA08 Pro uses a motor and spur gear configuration similar to the TRF420, positioning the gear train ahead of the motor to stabilise the car at velocity. This setup benefits drivers when pushing for consistent lap times.

Suspension That Responds to Tuning

New upper and lower A-arms paired with SSBB dampers reduce roll and support better tyre contact. With adjustable camber and caster, you can tune the chassis responsiveness to suit different tyres and track conditions.

Quick Balance Changes with Body Mount Options

The reversible body mount system lets you switch mounting positions to alter balance and aerodynamic bias without major rebuilds. That adaptability is handy when experimenting with setup strategies.

Whether you are refining a club racer or testing track setups, the TA08 Pro gives practical tuning paths and a confident ride quality for on-road competition.

After building, check gear mesh, belt alignment, and damper oil levels. Regularly inspect bearings and suspension pins for wear to keep handling consistent.
Yes, the TA08 Pro supports aftermarket aluminium components for parts like damper mounts and uprights, which can improve durability and tuning precision.
Begin with manufacturer-recommended SSBB damper oil and mid-range spring rates, then adjust rebound and compression to match track grip and corner speed.
The motor and spur layout, combined with the chassis geometry, gives the TA08 Pro stable behaviour at speed, making it suitable for faster circuits when setup is optimised.
