Off-road favourite Tamiya 58707 - 1/10 XV-02 Pro Off-Road RC Chassis Kit  [58707]

XV-02 Pro breakdown for rally tuning

The Tamiya 58707 XV-02 Pro chassis kit delivers a shaft-driven 4WD platform aimed at drivers who like to tune handling and gearing. It combines durable components and accessible adjustments so you can setup the car for different rally conditions.

Why the shaft drive matters

Switching from belt to shaft drive moves the motor to a front midship position and gives equal-length prop shafts. That layout reduces drivetrain twist and makes tuning more predictable. The kit includes two 39T diffs and a 40T gear, so you can configure over-drive or under-drive setups to shift driving balance as needed.

Build details and durability features

Construction uses a bathtub frame with a protective polycarbonate cover, plus well-placed caster blocks and aluminum dampers for consistent response. Longitudinal battery mounting helps with weight distribution, and metal motor mounts and shafts are fitted where strength matters most.

Practical differences from the XV-01

The earlier XV-01 used a belt drive and a 10 degree caster angle. The XV-02 Pro takes a different route with a shaft drive and 6 degree caster, aiming for steadier steering and improved composure over rough terrain.

A solid choice for sport rally builds, the XV-02 Pro balances tunability and robustness for club days and more serious event practice.
