The Tamiya TA08 1/10 4WD Touring Car Pro Chassis Kit has taken knowledge from the prior TA chassis to create this hopped up touring car. The careful design of this chassis allows the need for no top deck and balances the weight and rigidity. While this layout is similar to the TRF420, the TA08 car features a redesigned upper and lower control arms and is equipped with super big bore dampeners. The TA08 is a proper touring car and offers many tuning options.

Tamiya TA08 1/10 4WD Touring Car Pro Chassis Kit
I built this car and am using it for a VTA class at several clubs. On higher traction such as carpet the chassis flexes quite a bit which translates to some lost speed. However on looser tracks like asphalt or parking lot club racing this car really excels, as the flex in the chassis really helps it get traction. I am currently running this as my go-to chassis for looser tracks, it really does well. On higher traction and carpet I prefer a stiffer chassis. The car is built really well, I would prefer if the shock towers bolted into metal gear housing (rather than plastic). The C/F shock towers only do so much if what they bolt into isn't as stiff (such as the plastic gear housing). Metal gear housing would be my first wish for this car. Otherwise I give this 5 stars as long as you use the car for the correct track. Club racing on parking lots its perfect.

The TA08 is an extremely good Touring Car. Built different than many other chassis with no top deck and an angled plastic main bottom. It works! Very smooth around corners and capable of high corner speeds. The only Hop Up that is necessary is the aluminum servo mount.

Very nice kit, high quality instructions as you'd expect from Tamiya. Smooth drivetrain, a variety of option parts and tuning options. Not a bad way to get started in the belt driven 4wd touring car platform.

Great kit, with tons of hop ups available. East kit for experienced builder may be a bit difficult for the first time builder.
