Tamiya 49418 - 1/10 TA05-R Racing Chassis Kit Competition Edition  [49418]

TA05-R Chassis Summary for Serious Tuners

The Tamiya 49418 TA05-R Chassis Kit is built with competitive on-road racing in mind, packing option parts that improve adjustability and track manners. It is a flexible base for drivers who like to refine suspension, weight distribution, and steering balance.

Build Materials and Weight Benefits

Key elements such as the aluminium center plate, blue anodised aluminium spur gear holder, and carbon fibre damper stays reduce flex while keeping weight low. That combination helps maintain grip and allows tighter entry and exit lines through bends.

Performance Parts Included

The TA05-R arrives with several performance components to simplify upgrades and setup. Included pieces like the high torque servo saver, TRF415 suspension mounts, aluminium spacers, ball connectors, and stabiliser ends boost durability. The TRF Fluorine Coated Damper and 48mm lightweight swing shafts sharpen the car's response during corner transitions.

Reducing Static on Sensitive Electronics

Static build-up can affect steering feedback when metal-geared servos are used. Tamiya advises using the TA05 Lightweight Carbon Lower Deck which helps dissipate static and keeps the radio system stable during runs.

This chassis kit is a strong pick for hobbyists focused on precision and tuning, providing a clear upgrade path and parts that work well in club-level competition.
