Overview of the TA05IFS-R for Setup Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 49491 TA05IFS-R Chassis Kit brings the TA05-IFS concept to a more adjustable platform for hobbyists who focus on cornering balance. It blends straightforward construction with parts that allow meaningful handling changes.

How the Inboard Front Design Helps Handling

The inboard front suspension uses horizontally mounted oil dampers to lower the nose profile and tidy airflow under the body. That arrangement also tightens steering response so drivers feel subtler mid-corner inputs more clearly.

Flexible Suspension Layout and Optional Parts

The TA05IFS-R includes reversible suspension configurations front and rear to tune understeer or oversteer tendencies. The option parts list covers items such as the ball differential pulley, centre pulley and carbon reinforced pieces for improved rigidity and drivetrain smoothness.

Yes, with the right tyres and damper oils the inboard layout can perform very well on carpet, giving precise turn-in and steady mid-corner grip.
Standard RC modelling tools are sufficient, but a quality hex driver set and a gear mesh tool make the build and setup quicker and more accurate.
Begin with cambers, ride height and damper oil to establish baseline handling, then move on to roll centre and differential adjustments as needed.
Many of the common wear items and option parts for the TA05IFS-R are available through hobby stores and online suppliers, making maintenance straightforward.
