Plasma Edge II Performance and Heritage

The Tamiya 57897 - 1/10 XB Plasma Edge II (TT-02B) carries the classic Plasma Edge DNA with updates for contemporary off-road use. This ready-to-run model keeps things simple for pilots who want reliable performance without lengthy setup.

Body Style and Chassis Details

This version features a refreshed shell and new sticker set to modernise the look while retaining the original shape. The TT-02B chassis adds longer arms, CVA shock units and reinforced bumpers to cope with harder impacts and rougher tracks. Its straightforward layout makes servicing and part swaps efficient.

Off-Road Grip and Handling

Equipped with 4WD and fully independent double-wishbone suspension, the Plasma Edge II balances traction and composure over rutted terrain.
