Tamiya TB-05R full option chassis

Tamiya have introduced the TB-05R, which takes the shaft-driven TB-05 Pro chassis and loads it with a ton of Hop-Up Options and even some dedicated parts that make this a seriously fast car. This assembly kit creates an efficient shaft-driven 4WD chassis, its composite structure with integrated lower deck and side frame sections facilitate a largely symmetrical design for balanced steering. Choose between 2 layouts, with a front motor position for superb stability, or a rear motor for dynamic drive. Steering linkage components are bulkhead-mounted to eliminate the effect of chassis roll. With full ball bearings, universal shafts and gear differential units, the drivetrain is as smooth as silk, as is the ride thanks to TRF dampers.
