Tame the Slide: Tamiya 49458 - 1/10 TB02D Drift Spec Chassis Kit

For RC hobbyists who pursue clean, controlled slides, the Tamiya 49458 - 1/10 TB02D Drift Spec Chassis Kit delivers a focused platform built for predictable drift performance. The kit balances durability with tuning options so you can dial in your ideal handling.

Design Highlights for Confident Drifting

The TB02D uses the proven TB-02 bathtub frame and a longitudinal motor layout to keep weight central and predictable through transitions. The shaft-driven 4WD system provides steady torque to all wheels, helping maintain balance during sustained slides and snap transitions.

Built-In Drift Upgrades

Tamiya outfits the TB02D with drift-oriented parts that reduce guesswork when setting up. Included items of note are 24mm wide drift tyres for consistent slip angles, a blue aluminium motor heat sink to aid cooling, TRF Special Dampers with hard black coating for controlled rebound, plus an aluminium propeller shaft and on-road tuned hard spring set for sharper response.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive System: Shaft-driven 4WD
  • Tires: 24mm Wide Drift Tires
  • Motor: Sport-tuned Motor
  • Special Features: Aluminum Propeller Shaft, TRF Special Damper
  • Compatibility: Fits most 1/10 scale R/C car bodies except wide tread and short wheelbase bodies

The TB02D chassis kit suits tuners and drivers who want a dependable drift base with room for upgrades. Its mix of drift-specific hardware and straightforward setup makes it a solid choice for hobbyists refining slide technique.

Assembly requires basic modelling skills and patience with small parts. The kit is modular, so a careful first build can be completed with common tools and a step-by-step approach.
A reliable ESC with smooth low-end throttle and a motor in the sport-tuned range will suit the TB02D. Use a proportional steering servo and a 7.2V or equivalent battery to match the recommended layout.
Tyre life depends on surface and driving style; expect more frequent replacement on abrasive asphalt. Keeping pressures and toe settings tuned will extend usable life.
Start with tyre selection, shock oil tuning, and small steering angle adjustments. Upgrading the servo and using stiffer front or rear springs can quickly refine turn-in and mid-slide balance.
