Tamiya 92217 - 1/10 TA05 Version II Chassis Kit with Upgrade Pack - Track Ready Base  [92217]

Overview of the TA05 Version II from Tamiya

The Tamiya 92217 - 1/10 TA05 Version II Chassis Kit with Upgrade Pack is built for enthusiasts who value accuracy and setup potential. The kit combines a robust chassis layout with a curated set of hop-up parts aimed at improving control and component life.

What the upgrade pack contains

This release includes hop-up parts estimated at $239, chosen to enhance handling. The TRF Special Dampers benefit from a hard black coating for consistent performance, while aluminium rocker arms and nuts give firmer steering response and better wear resistance.

Handling, gear ratio and fitment notes

The chassis has a 257mm wheelbase and a 1:7.19 gear ratio for predictable behaviour at speed. The medium-narrow racing radial tyres on 5-spoke wheels offer a compromise between grip and agility. It will accept compatible bodies from TT-01, TB-03 and TA05 families for styling and aero choices.

Who will get the most from this kit

The TA05 V.2 is an assembly kit that needs a separate motor, ESC and battery pack, so it suits those with some assembly experience and an interest in setup work and upgrades.

With its hop-up selection and stable platform, the Tamiya TA05 Version II is a practical choice for hobbyists refining their on-road setups and experimenting with upgrades.
