Tamiya TB Evo.6 & TB-04 Pro II

Tamiya Japan released first images of their forthcoming TB Evo.6 and TB-04 Pro II shaft-driven 4WD touring car kits. Seen as renderings some time ago, the TB Evo.6 marks the latest evolution step of the company’s competition TB Evolution line of chassis. Based on a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis and coming with a 2mm upper deck, the kit features a transversally mounted motor to overcome the negative “torque steering” effects of a longitudinally mounted motor. Other features include low-profile aluminium shock absorbers, aluminium shock tower brackets, a floating servo mount and suspension components taken over from the TRF418 kit. The TB Evo.6 is set for a release around end of June.

The TB-04 Pro II can be seen as the sport version of the Evo.6. Coming with a plastic moulded tub chassis and making use of the same transversal motor position, the kit furthermore features aluminium shock absorbers, front and rear universal driveshafts, hex head screws and TRF418 suspension components along carbon fibre shock towers and several blue-anodised parts. Like the Evo.6 the TB-04 Pro II will become available by end of June.
