Tamiya TC-01 Formula E Gen2 4WD kit

Following a couple of teasers on social media during the recent week, Tamiya have fully unveiled their all new 190mm TC-01 shaft-driven 4WD on-road chassis that comes decked off with a fantastic looking Formula E Gen2 body shell. Starting with the chassis, the all-new TC-01 platform utilises an inboard shock absorber design to ensure an ultra-low centre of gravity while the centralised weight distribution with a mid motor and rear-mounted battery pack promises exceptional performance on the track. The suspension geometry with camber, caster, and toe angles is widely adjustable using shims, allowing to access complex setups while the standard 12mm hex touring car rims enable the driver to use a near endless range of rim and tyre combinations. The drivetrain is equipped with an oil-filled gear differential and while the kit comes with a multi-part Formula E Gen2 body shell, the chassis is also usable with standard 190mm touring car body shells. The kit will hit stores in August.
