Rally-focused Tamiya 58707 - 1/10 XV-02 Pro Off-Road RC Chassis Kit  [58707]

What the XV-02 Pro brings to rally builds

The Tamiya 58707 XV-02 Pro is a shaft-driven rally chassis designed for pilots wanting consistent handling and accessible tuning. It combines a robust frame with parts that make setup changes easy, so you can dial in balance and suspension for varied track surfaces.

Drive layout and front midship motor benefits

The XV-02 Pro replaces the earlier belt-driven approach with a shaft-driven system and a front midship motor placement. That layout supports equal-length prop shafts for improved drivetrain symmetry. The kit provides two 39T diffs plus a 40T gear, offering players simple over-drive and under-drive options to shift front and rear torque distribution.

Key construction points and upgraded fittings

Core elements include a bathtub chassis protected by a polycarbonate cover, precise caster block locations, and aluminum oil-filled dampers. Battery placement along the length helps lower the centre of gravity, while metal motor mount and prop shafts add toughness for sustained running.

Handling differences compared to the XV-01

While the XV-01 relied on a belt drive and a 10 degree caster setup, the XV-02 Pro moves to a shaft drive with a 6 degree caster angle. This shift aims to improve steering predictability and control on loose or uneven surfaces.

The XV-02 Pro is a dependable platform for tuners who want a straightforward path to competitive rally handling and easy mechanical upgrades.
