TA05IFS-R Chassis Overview for Tuners

The Tamiya 49491 TA05IFS-R Chassis Kit is engineered for RC drivers who want tight handling and setup flexibility. Built on the TA05-IFS platform, this kit adds targeted refinements that suit both competition-focused racers and hobbyists who fine-tune suspension and balance.

Inboard Front Setup and Handling Benefits

The core feature of the TA05IFS-R is its inboard front suspension with horizontally mounted oil dampers. That layout reduces frontal profile for low nose bodies and sharpens response to steering inputs, giving a more connected feel on technical layouts.

Suspension Options and Upgrade Parts

Beyond the inboard design, the kit includes reversible front and rear suspension options to tailor handling to your driving style. The parts kit also contains performance-oriented option pieces like the ball differential pulley, center pulley, and carbon-reinforced components to help dial in traction and chassis stiffness.

How difficult is the assembly for someone with basic skills?

With some patience and standard modelling tools, a modeller with basic experience can assemble the TA05IFS-R. Expect extra time for accurate suspension geometry and gear mesh setup.

What electronics do I need to finish the build?

You will need a 2-channel radio, suitable servo or servos, an ESC, a motor, tyres and a 6-cell flat battery with a standard Tamiya connector to complete the car.

Which running surfaces suit this chassis best?

This on-road chassis performs best on smooth asphalt and carpet circuits where its precise steering and low nose bodywork can be fully exploited.

Which upgrades make the biggest handling difference?

Start with tyre choice and damper tuning, then consider the carbon-reinforced parts and differential components included in the kit to refine balance and turn-in.
