The Tamiya XV-02 PRO chassis kit, model 58726, is a 4WD rally-style platform reworked for on-road performance. Its build quality and component selection suit hobbyists who want a responsive car for club racing and high-speed practice sessions.
The drivetrain uses a shaft drive system combined with aluminium cylinder oil dampers to give controlled weight transfer and consistent damping. That mechanical solidity helps the chassis stay composed under aggressive driving.
Features like 3.5mm carbon fibre shock mounts and a carbon fibre reinforced lower deck add torsional rigidity while keeping weight in check. The battery sits longitudinally to centralise mass and improve steering balance.
Interchangeable differential gears let you bias power forward, neutral or rearward, so you can tune understeer and oversteer tendencies to match your driving style and circuit demands.
The model rides on 18-spoke wheels with semi-slick tyres for strong road contact. The flat-bottom chassis and a slip-friendly front bumper help reduce aerodynamic interruptions and keep the car tracking cleanly.
The Tamiya 58726 XV-02 PRO is a capable base for on-road racers who want a tunable platform with quality materials and straightforward upgrade paths.
