Tamiya TA05 v2 (Part 3 - the build)

by the wind on Jun.30, 2009, under Build Walkthru

took a snapshot of the label from the artbox.. smile.gif

parts parts parts…

more parts (minus the plastic trees) ..

70T spur AV05 equal to 78T 48p in diameter…

how the motor mount/center layshaft looks like..

Instead of dual pivot block, v2 is using 2.1 twin pivot block. Inwards are the twin independent block and outward is single block. Having twin block have several benefits, one being able to provide open clearance for the belt way and second, each of the twin are secured with 2 screws making an independent pivot point which has better reliability compare to a single block with 2 screws. Upon unfortunate impact, unlike the single block, the independent twin block will not affect the other side.

yeap it’s plastic… we’ll build this stock first.

how the motor mount sits on the bottom deck that is slightly narrower than the older version.

degreasing the differential rings… why? because the ring has to be secured by CA to the outdrives. Unlike the older version, this one has bigger radius and doesn’t have engaging notch in the inner diameter.

cleaned and polished..

IFS-R / 416 style differential pulley using massive 12pcs of 3mm balls.

caution when snipping off the locknut holder for the differential. Notice the ear?

place the locknut aligned with the holder and press gently with a 3mm hex driver.

finish assembling the diff, very smooth…

tension adjuster, need marking for easy visibility.

same goes with the retainer.

one belt one diff up.

diff opening at the bottom deck.

end of day one.

Tamiya TA05 v2 (part 2)

by the wind on Jun.13, 2009, under RC News

In less than just 2 weeks, Tamiya will be releasing the version 2 of TA05. Much IFS/MS refinement along the transmission/motor placement and mounting plus the use of reversible arms, believed to be the final shape of TA05. We’ve seen the R in the past but will we see a TRF version? Maybe… hopefully.

Some Option parts have already been made available in open market prior to the unfolding official release of the new TA05 kit. Strange but this is real. Was it meant for older version of TA05 as part of conversion? All parts are mostly compatible with the earlier version, with the exception of belts, motor mount, and bottom deck; most likely of course.

It would be interesting to check out how does a stock kit fair to the earlier version IFS. Would tiny correction on motor placement and mounting mechanism result much on performance or not, most likely will be determined by public assess in weeks to come. Many opinions however strongly believe that most of the product evolution Tamiya has come up with so far do have improvements in performance.

TA05v2

RC drifting is generally less sensitive to setting changes unlike RC racing. This maybe will subdue any improvements in performance if it was too subtle a difference, but nevertheless; still a potential to be further cultivated by drifters.

The TA05 (non IFS) has been the chassis of choice for 2008 by driftercentral.com public. Performance, value and abundance of optional parts are some of the factors that TA05 is so favorable among drifters. Would it be the same success story with TA05 version 2 this year?
