TA08 Pro Overview: Precision Chassis Engineering

Built for control-minded drivers, the Tamiya TA08 Pro refines the touring car formula with a focus on balance and tunability. This 1/10 kit provides a solid base for racers aiming to improve setup consistency and handling predictability.

Modernised Chassis Concept

The design abandons the classic upper deck and adopts a Stepped-V shaped main chassis to better distribute mass and increase torsional rigidity. That layout enhances responsiveness while keeping the platform compliant for fine setup work.

Thoughtful Powertrain Layout

The gear and motor arrangement mirrors the TRF420 style, placing the spur assembly ahead of the motor for improved high-speed stability. This layout encourages steady behaviour through fast sections and while exiting corners.

Suspension Designed for Tuning

With revised upper and lower A-arms and SSBB dampers, the TA08 Pro lowers roll centre and takes full advantage of tyre contact. Adjustable camber and caster settings help you tailor grip and turn-in characteristics across different track surfaces.

Flexible Mounting for Personal Setup

Body mounts can be rotated to select standard or advanced positions, enabling simple balance adjustments without complex disassembly. This versatility makes it easier to adapt the chassis to varying circuit demands.
