Convert your TA02 to a carbon double deck chassis

The Tamiya TA02 remains a favourite among hobbyists and can be upgraded using the Tamiya 47479 - 1/10 TA02 Carbon Chassis Conversion Kit. This conversion swaps the stock bathtub frame for a double-deck layout made from carbon fiber plates, trimming weight while adding torsional stiffness. It is a practical upgrade for drivers wanting crisper response and longer-term durability.

Key performance benefits

This conversion set supplies parts meant to sharpen your TA02's on-track behaviour:

Carbon Fiber Upper and Lower Decks: Lightweight, stiff plates that form a strong double-deck chassis and retain the Tamiya twin star logo.
Carbon Damper Stays: Front and rear damper stays to refine damper mounting and axle control.
Metal Components: Includes a front bumper support stay, aluminium spacers, and a reinforced steering mount to improve chassis stability.
Additional Parts: Supplied with nylon bands, a caution sticker, double-sided tape and small assembly parts for fitting the kit.

How difficult is the installation for a typical hobbyist?

Basic mechanical skills and a set of hand tools are enough. The kit uses the original TA02 mounting points, so follow the instructions carefully and allow a couple of hours for assembly.

Will I need different electronics after fitting the carbon chassis?

No special electronics are required. Standard TA02 servos and speed controllers fit as before, though checking servo mounting alignment is recommended after installation.

Does the kit affect durability on rough surfaces?

The carbon structure increases stiffness and resists deformation, but carbon is less forgiving on hard impacts than plastic. Use careful driving and consider protective bumpers for rough use.
