New Generation Shaft Drive 4WD Introducing the next generation of the shaft driven, high performance TB Evolution R/C racing car. In-depth analysis of the TB Evo IV's racing performance and other driver feedback has enabled TRF designers to fully redesign chassis components to optimize center of gravity and secure linear steering feel. One-piece lower bulkhead has been redesigned for more compact, lighter design. Steering unit has been located in even lower position, and totally redesigned for optimized Ackermann* steering geometry. Packed with all-new parts, this chassis kit features sharp cornering and dynamic speed for the most realistic drive feeling available in R/C today. Superior controlability delivers both an enjoyable R/C driving experience, and a potent weapon on the race track. *1 Ackermann: A geometric principal used to ensure that, when a vehicle turns, the wheels on the inside of the turn make a sharper angle than those on the outside, lightening the load on the tires.

Towards Improved Weight Balance and Steering Feel

Optimized Ackermann Steering All-new steering arm with press fit ball bearings and steering bridge are both made from high precision and durable aluminum. Entire steering unit has been located in as low a position as possible, and features optimized Ackermann geometry. Even during sharp cornering, proper wheel turning angles are maintained, ensuring no loss of speed during cornering.

One-Piece Lower Bulkhead Machined aluminum lower bulkhead improves support stiffness of one-piece front one-way, and features more compact, lighter design. Lightening of overhang portion further improves drive performance.

Aluminum Diff Joint Rear also features one-piece lower bulkhead. Durable and high precision aluminum diff joint guarantees smooth diff effect under even the toughest conditions. Plastic swing shaft protector secures power transmission and reduces friction with diff housing.

Small-Size Bumper 2.5mm thickness carbon lower deck features narrower chassis front and small-size bumper to reduce interference with road when rolling.

Short Reversible Suspension Arms Suspension system utilizes reversible type short span arms to greatly improve responsiveness. Compared to lightweight reversible suspension arms, these feature shorter length and suspension mount width that may be increased, reducing chassis roll. Choose from 4 damper pivots to adjust settings to suit road conditions and car characteristics.

Perfect Weight Balance 2mm carbon upper deck is 7.5mm lower than TB Evo 4 for optimum center of gravity and weight balance. Front & rear damper stays are 3mm thick carbon. Propeller shaft is made from lightweight aluminum.
