Tamiya 58492 - 1/10 TA06 PRO Chassis Kit: Modern Touring Evolution
The Tamiya 58492 - 1/10 TA06 PRO Chassis Kit marks a clear step forward for RC touring cars, blending decades of Tamiya experience with contemporary race input. Developed with feedback from Tamiya's TRF squad, this sixth-generation platform focuses on balance, serviceability, and on-track precision.
Dual-Drive Layout and Weight Balance
The TA06 PRO uses a Dual-Drive arrangement with a belt-driven front section and a gear-driven rear to deliver efficient torque distribution and crisp cornering. Weight is concentrated along a slim monocoque chassis with the battery and motor positioned centrally to improve handling, particularly when paired with modern brushless motors and light LiPo packs.
Flexible Suspension Choices
Ride setup is highly adaptable, allowing builders to fit an Inboard Front Suspension using rocker arms and inboard dampers or a conventional outboard damper layout. That flexibility supports a wide range of Tamiya sports and touring bodies, especially low-nose shells, and the inclusion of front and rear gear diffs expands fine-tuning options for different track conditions.
Pro Kit Option Parts
This Pro kit ships with performance-focused components not found on basic versions, such as oil-filled TRF Special Dampers with hard black coated aluminium bodies, rebuildable universal drive shafts, blue anodised aluminium turnbuckles and ball connectors, plus a Hi-Torque Servo Saver for reliable steering control under load.
Build Compatibility and Durability
Many parts are shared with other Tamiya platforms like the TA-05, making upgrades and parts swaps straightforward. The FRP chassis construction balances rigidity and resilience, while the underside-access battery compartment supports NiCd, NiMh, LiFe and LiPo packs for different power and weight preferences.
