Tamiya 47349 XV-01 Long Damper Chassis Kit Rally Platform  [47349]

Overview of the Tamiya 47349 XV-01 Chassis

The Tamiya 47349 XV-01 Chassis Kit returns as a versatile 1/10 platform that balances on-road precision with off-road toughness. This reissue includes long shock dampers to increase travel and improve control over rough rally stages while keeping the XV-01s responsive handling.

Powertrain and Chassis Protection

The front-motor, belt-driven 4WD arrangement provides even power delivery and predictable traction across different surfaces. Enclosed gearboxes with fluid-controlled differentials help maintain smooth drivability, and the box-like frame with protective covers and wheel-well liners keeps dirt and grit away from critical components.

Suspension Design and Shock Setup

The double wishbone suspension delivers ample stroke and useful ground clearance for uneven terrain. FRP damper stays are provided to fully exploit the longer travel of the CVA mini oil shocks, delivering improved absorption and consistent handling over rough sections.

Rally Fitment and Wheel Choice

Fitted with white 16-spoke wheels and rally block tyres, the chassis gives an authentic feel and good traction on loose surfaces. It accepts popular rally bodies such as the Subaru Impreza WRC Monte Carlo 07 and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. X so you can personalise the look while keeping realistic proportions.

For experienced builders wanting a tough and tunable rally chassis, the Tamiya 47349 XV-01 is a solid choice. Its longer dampers and protective frame make it well suited for competitive stages and weekend trail runs.
