Tamiya roll out new TB-05 option parts

Coming soon from Tamiya are several new option parts for the TB-05 club-level touring car kit. First up is an aluminium differential case set that was designed as a direct replacement for the standard plastic item. The alloy case will prevent deforming under load for improved efficiency and smoother diff action, while also adding cooling for greater consistency throughout a run and when racing in high ambient temperatures. Another benefit is greatly improved sealing performance, making it virtually maintenance-free. The set includes a single diff case as well as a gasket and five 2mm cap screws.

Also new are several carbon fibre reinforced plastic parts such as the main chassis plate, the chassis stiffener K-parts as well as steering assembly T-parts tree. All offer greatly improved stiffness and they can be mixed and matched with the standard plastic items to achieve the desired overall chassis stiffness when racing on high-grip asphalt or carpet tracks.
