Tamiya 84375 XV-01 Off-Road Kit Long-Damper Edition  [84375]

Hands-On with the Tamiya 84375 XV-01 Off-Road Chassis

The Tamiya 84375 XV-01 Chassis Kit gives modelers a versatile foundation for rally-style builds. This special long-damper edition increases suspension travel for rougher tracks while preserving the proven dynamics of the XV-01. The 4WD system keeps traction balanced across different surfaces.

Powertrain and Protection

Featuring a front-motor, belt-driven 4WD layout, the XV-01 has enclosed gearboxes front and rear with differential units that spread torque effectively. The box-type main frame with covers and inner wheel liners helps reduce debris intrusion, extending component life during off-road runs.

Suspension Design and On-Track Feel

Independent double wishbones supply useful ground clearance and generous travel for jumps and rough ground. Mounted on rally-block rubber and replica wheels, the chassis reproduces rally handling characteristics. Redesigned damper stays allow the CVA mini oil shocks to work with their full extended stroke for smoother recovery.

Personalisation and Body Choices

The chassis offers adjustable camber, toe and gearing for detailed setup work. It accepts classic rally shells such as the Lancia Delta Integrale, Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. X so builders can match period looks to performance.

The Tamiya 84375 XV-01 Chassis Kit is a strong pick for modelers focused on rally recreation and varied surface running. With robust parts and tuning room it works well for scale enthusiasts and tuners.
