TB Evolution III chassis evolution in detail

Hobbyists who value setup options and predictable handling will appreciate what the Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III brings to the bench. Building on the TB family and the 1994 TGX nitro lineage, this kit focuses on balance and adjustability for both stock and modified sedan racing.

Layout choices that improve driveability

The TB Evolution III uses a staggered motor and battery arrangement to help control torque steer and to refine throttle feel. By placing the motor on the right and batteries on the left, the design achieves a more neutral balance for consistent corner exits.

Tuned chassis and adaptable suspension

The slim double-deck carbon chassis enhances steering speed while a new centre drive shaft and aluminium spur adaptor reduce drivetrain vibration. Suspension parts derived from the 414MII include adjustable blocks so you can dial in roll centre, anti-squat and anti-dive for different surfaces.

Weight savings that sharpen handling

Targeted component rework, including lightweight diff outdrives and revised bulkheads, trims about 40g from previous layouts. The lighter package improves agility and responsiveness on technical courses.

The Tamiya 58299 TB Evolution III provides a flexible foundation for drivers who want to refine handling through setup. Lightweight construction and thoughtful driveline choices make it suitable for competitive circuit work and serious hobby builds.

Basic modelling tools and a small set of metric hex drivers will cover most assembly steps, though a setup board and ball-end hex drivers help for precise alignment.
Adjust roll centre with the suspension blocks, tweak diff settings and experiment with tyre compounds to match low or high traction tracks.
Yes, the platform is designed for serious touring competition when paired with appropriate electronics and tuned setup, and it adapts well to both stock and modified rules.
Regular checks of diff condition, drive shaft mounting and suspension bearings will keep handling consistent. Clean and lightly lubricate rotating parts after each session.
