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

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 #58449 BMW M3
by the wind on Oct.12, 2009, under RC News
Getting to the final chapter of the 2009 Japan Plamodel Show walkthru,
we gazed upon this stunning M3. Our minds gone wild with plan on howto trick out our next VIP drift bodyshell project. Every tip of our senses tingles with excitement of a 5 year old getting early Christmas present. yummy…
Tamiya has done a marvelous job in getting the detail absolutely right. Release as a TT01E kit bearing item #58449, expected street price should be about $100. That is a bargain considering what you get. The bodyshell comes with accessories or add ons such as mirrors, light buckets both front and rear as well as GT wing, decals and masking set.
