Precision Drift Craftsmanship with the Tamiya 49486 Nismo Coppermix Silvia
The Tamiya 49486 - 1/10 RC Nismo Coppermix Silvia TB-02 Drift Spec Chassis combines the recognisable Nismo Coppermix shell with the rugged TB-02 layout to give dedicated drifters a balanced and responsive setup. This kit is built to deliver consistent drift control without sacrificing visual accuracy.
TB-02 Layout and Shaft Drive Details
The TB-02 chassis is known for its reliable construction and well thought out drive train. Its shaft-driven 4WD system improves traction and stability during long slides, while the bathtub frame and longitudinal motor placement help concentrate mass for predictable handling.
Suspension Geometry and Adjustability
Front and rear setups use C.V.A. Mini Shock dampers to tame bumps and keep the car steady through corner transitions. 5mm ball connectors and turnbuckle shafts let you fine tune toe and camber, so you can dial the chassis to different surfaces and drift styles.
Scale Bodywork and Drift-Focused Grip
The Coppermix Silvia body is moulded in lightweight polycarbonate to keep the weight low and the detail high. A decal sheet recreates the original livery, and the supplied black 5-spoke wheels with 24mm Super Driftech Tires give predictable slip and long wear for practice sessions.
Lighting Options and Required Electronics
Built-in LEDs for front and rear light effects activate when power is applied for extra realism. For programmable lighting you can add the TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937). The kit includes a Type 540 motor, but you will need to fit a 2-channel radio, ESC, servos, and a 7.2V battery separately.
