Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition Drift Platform Kit  [84188]

Introducing the Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition for Slide Control

The Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition Drift Chassis Kit offers a premium parts package for hobbyists focused on drift performance. The kit combines precision components with a distinctive gold anodised look to give both function and style on the track.

Rigid Carbon Layout for Predictable Handling

At the heart of the TA05-VDF is a 2mm vertical double carbon frame and a 2mm carbon lower deck that deliver a stiff, lightweight foundation. This layout helps keep handling predictable and improves stability during sustained drift angles.

Responsive Steering and Suspension Setup

The parallel steering geometry delivers reliable counter-steer feel that is useful for competition-style drifting. Flourine coated, threaded TRF dampers allow fine adjustment of rebound and compression, while the short reversible suspension used on TB03 and TRF417 compatible setups adds flexibility.

Balanced Power Delivery and Tuning Options

This belt-driven 4WD chassis provides balanced torque distribution with full independent suspension. The front ball differential combined with a rear locked differential supports varied driving styles, and universal joint axles with full ball bearings enhance longevity. The available gear ratios from 4.39 to 8.53:1 make setup tuning straightforward.

The Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition suits builders wanting a tunable drift base with reliable components and a standout finish, ideal for refining setup and practising advanced techniques.
