Tamiya TB03R Chassis
Previews:
Tamiya has just released some new chassis kit for early 2010 season, among others, new bodyshell Lamborghini Gallardo with TA05v2 and Nissan GT-R with TT01D type E. Needless to say the Gallardo is the only one that could be regarded as new.
TB03 R chassis being likely to be the refinement tuning of TB03 genre is yet to be confirmed as version that has major improvements over the standard TB03 build, or were there just standard kit with additional options brought on board.
Before we talk more on these, let’s take a walkthru on the TA05 v2 #92217 which is released just before. This chassis wasn’t labeled as R or v2 R to be precise, perhaps to avoid confusion with the TA05 R of version 1. Anyway, here is some quick run down info on the particular chassis:
Description:
Tamiya TA05 version 2 chassis kit with an Upgrade Pack.
Included Hop Ups/ Performance Addons:
Item 42102 TRF Special Damper (Hard Black Coating) 4pcs
Item 53833 TA05 Front One-Way Unit

1/10 R/C assembly kit

Tread: 165mm

As the TA05v2 was designed for Tamiya GT class race, it is expected to be performing rather well for intermediate drifting purposes. Previous TA05v2 (standard built) that we’ve tested was definitely a much better drift chassis compare to the v1.
No bodyshell was included (such as those like TB03 Ds etc.) in the #92217 and you may expect the same case with the #84109 TB03 R.
Interestingly, we could see that IFS is getting more established for GT racing on both TA05 and TB03, but conventional damper straight mounting still have higher numbers of preference among RC drifters.
Many IFS were converted as the result.
TB03 R will be more viable as the better option of TB03 for drift chassis over TT01 judging from the price/feature point of view. So if you’re looking for a starter kit with medium budget, then pick this chassis as consideration. Hopefully some performance aftermarket parts will be made available as well as originals, to make it more appealing to public.
So again we’re still awaits for that elusive high end Drift Chassis from Tamiya that will be on the same bracket as HPI Pro-D or HB TC-D, at least built quality wise.

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..
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.
