Tamiya TA05-VDF


Tamiya USA recently uploaded some new pictures of their high end drift machine. Is it July yet?!

From Tamiya USA:
This machine adopts a front mid-ship motor layout (motor within wheelbase) for optimum balance which is essential to drift driving. The upper frame features vertically mounted carbon plates which improve chassis rigidity while also providing enough flexibility during drifting. The parallel geometry steering system provides this machine with excellent control of counter steering.The especially designed battery holder is adjustable and is compatible with Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, LIPO & LF batteries. Glass tape can also be used to secure the battery.

Features TA05 bulkheads, short reversible suspension arms, TRF416 uprights. 37Tfront and rear pulleys and 18T center pulley are driven by new-length drive belts. Belt tensioner is also equipped.

Adjustable battery holder enables attachment of Tamiya Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, LIPO and LF battery packs (battery packs can also be secured with glass tape). R/C units are placed centrally on the chassis for optimized balance.

A wide variety of TA-05 option parts can be equipped on this drift chassis.

The TA05-VDF is due out this July with an estimated street price of 400 USD.
