Tamiya TA08 PRO Competition Touring Car Unboxing | CompetitionX

A new competition level Touring Car from Tamiya has dropped - the TA08. This ground-up design has some interesting features - a narrow, Stepped-V chassis that helps eliminate chassis touchdown during hard cornering, a dual-belt design, Super Short Big Bore shocks, double A-Arm suspension and even includes a few TRF420 parts!

In this video, we crack open the box to give you a look at what comes inside as well as some info on the support parts we'll be using - a full compliment of R1 gear!

Enjoy the video.

This thing is pretty sweet! Good for tamiya to bring something new to the market.

The yellow shock oil from Tamiya is 400cst, and it’s the absolute best stuff for low to medium grip surfaces 😊

That clear bottle of diff fluid looks like the same thick fluid with the M07R. Looks like a fun build!

Gotta build one of these, my last build is my TA04 Audi. Love it but parts are impossible to find. Really liking this chassis over the 07

[bradkalman]

Those inserts in the bumper to probably to make more downforce or less downforce.

I'm looking at getting this chassis what type of efra class body shell would I need as I want to take it racing ?

So Yony what do you think TA07 or TA08. I'm about to pull the trigger on one of them.

Great video. What is the weight of this car without electronics?? I can't find that spec anywhere on the tamiya site. I can't find a manual to download either. Thanks

[tommyli]
