Race Machine
This assembly kit takes the 2-belt driven TA08 chassis and makes it into a race-focussed unit with plenty of Hop-Up Options. It is equipped with a 2mm carbon fiber upper deck, plus a plastic lower deck with reinforcements for exemplary rigidity and superior steering that can be adjusted to your heart's content. A-shaped upper arms and a four-wheel double wishbone suspension setup are employed, while aluminum upper arm mounts ensure great rigidity. The rear body mount section has been stiffened for great traction.

Featured Components
Drivetrain
★Full ball bearings ★Front double cardan drive shafts ★Rear universal shafts ★Front direct pulley (aluminum direct cups) ★71T spur gear (TRF420 center pulley) ★Rear gear differential (aluminum diff joints, VG O-ring) ★Aluminum motor mount
Suspension
★Front & rear aluminum upper arm mounts ★Aluminum adjustable suspension mount ★Separate suspension mounts (XB/A) ★Low-friction king pin balls ★Super short big bore dampers (VG O-rings)
Chassis
★Carbon fiber upper deck (2.0mm) ★Carbon iber rear body mount plate (2.5mm) ★Aluminum rear body mount posts ★Aluminum servo mount ★Aluminum steering linkage ★Clamp-type wheel hubs (5mm)



★The rigid aluminum servo mount minimizes inefficiency.


★Steering tie-rods are in a linear arrangement to lessen the effect of suspension motion on toe angle. Brigde and arms are aluminum.


★Aluminum mounts make for great upper A-arm rigidity. Low friction king pin balls are used atop and below the uprights.

★A close up on the super short big bore dampers. 43mm drive shafts and 5mm clamp-type hex hubs are employed.


★The 2mm carbon fiber upper deck boosts pitching rigidity. A rear ball bearing lends smoothness to the chassis flex.


★The aluminum motor mount has upper deck attachment points front and rear.

★Additional ribs on the lower deck minimize flex. Adjustable suspension mounts are employed.


★Rear universal shafts use 43mm swing shafts, TRF420 wheel axles and low friction cross joints.


★Toe control rear suspension helps match toe angle with compressed suspension.

★Rear body mounts are attached on a carbon fiber plate and aluminum mounts to keep that body from wobbling.
