Tamiya 49489 - WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R TA05IFS 1/10 Scale Chassis Kit  [49489]

Detailed look at the Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R

The Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R combines scale accuracy with sensible engineering for RC hobbyists. This 1/10 replica honours the Vemac 408R that won at Round 8 Autopolis and finished third in the 2007 standings, and its TA05IFS platform uses a 4WD layout with equal-length drive belts to keep power balanced and predictable.

TA05IFS chassis and handling traits

The TA05IFS layout features a front inboard suspension that improves straight line stability and turn-in feel. Horizontally mounted oil dampers work with push rods and rocker arms to form a suspension package that soaks up bumps and allows fine tuning for different track surfaces and driving styles.

Authentic bodywork and trim

The WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R body captures the race car look with a polycarbonate shell and printed decals that include the sky blue panels and sponsor marks. Lightweight reversible suspension parts are included to keep the car responsive while preserving scale appearance.

What you need to complete the build

To run this kit you will need a 2-channel radio system and servos, a 6-cell flat battery with the standard Tamiya connector, and a compatible charger. Use paints intended for polycarbonate and ABS for the body and trim, and prepare standard modelling tools and track accessories to finish the build.

The Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R is well suited to builders who value a realistic shell paired with an adjustable TA05IFS chassis, making it a strong choice for both display and club racing.
