Sideways Precision with Tamiya 49458 - 1/10 TB02D

Built for drivers who prefer measured, technical drifting, the Tamiya 49458 - 1/10 TB02D Drift Spec Chassis Kit provides a solid base for setup and progression. The platform is straightforward to tune and resilient under repeated practice sessions.

Chassis Layout Focused on Balance

The TB02D's TB-02 bathtub frame and longitudinal motor placement concentrate mass centrally, aiding smooth weight transfer during flicks and long slides. The shaft-driven 4WD system ensures even power distribution, which helps keep the car predictable through corrections.

Drift-Tailored Components Included

This kit ships with parts that speed up getting on the pace: 24mm wide drift tyres for steadier slip, a blue aluminium motor heat sink to control temperatures, TRF Special Dampers finished in hard black for consistent damping, plus an aluminium propeller shaft and on-road tuned hard spring set to sharpen handling.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive System: Shaft-driven 4WD
  • Tires: 24mm Wide Drift Tires
  • Motor: Sport-tuned Motor
  • Special Features: Aluminum Propeller Shaft, TRF Special Damper
  • Compatibility: Fits most 1/10 scale R/C car bodies except wide tread and short wheelbase bodies

With a focus on controllable slides and tuneability, the TB02D is appropriate for drivers refining drift lines and for those upgrading from a basic on-road chassis.

What surfaces suit the TB02D best?

Smooth asphalt, sealed car parks and dedicated drift pads offer predictable breakaway characteristics. Avoid very rough or loose surfaces for consistent tyre grip.

Is the TB02D good for indoor practice?

Yes, its compact 1/10 scale footprint and tunable handling make it useful in larger indoor halls or gym setups where smooth floors reduce tyre wear and allow controlled slides.

Can I swap in different springs or shocks?

Absolutely. The kit responds well to spring and shock oil changes. Swapping to softer or stiffer springs is a common way to fine tune roll and grip balance.

Do I need special tools to build it?

Basic RC tools like hex drivers, pliers, hobby knife and thread locker are sufficient. A small set of metric spanners and a soldering iron are helpful if installing electronics.
