Tamiya 58693 - TA-08 Pro 1/10 Touring Chassis Kit  [58693]

TA08 Pro: A Refined Touring Chassis from Tamiya

For hobbyists focused on lap-time consistency and setup control, the Tamiya TA08 Pro delivers a thoughtful blend of stiffness and balance. This 1/10 scale chassis kit refines the TA lineage with features tuned to on-road performance and driver-adjustable handling.

Heritage-Inspired Chassis Layout

The TA08 Pro advances the TA family by removing the conventional upper deck and using a Stepped-V shaped main chassis. This approach improves weight distribution while retaining structural rigidity, giving a stable platform for sharp steering inputs and confident cornering.

Race-Proven Component Arrangement

The internal layout positions the spur gear and motor similar to the TRF420 arrangement, with the gear train placed ahead of the motor to enhance straight-line stability. That configuration helps the chassis remain predictable when carrying speed through sweeps and straights.

Tunable Suspension and Setup Options

New upper and lower A-arms work with SSBB (Super Short Big Bore) dampers to lower the centre of gravity and exploit tire grip. Adjustable camber and caster settings provide a wide tuning window so you can dial in handling for differing track surfaces.

Adaptable Body Mounts for Quick Balance Changes

The TA08 Pro features a reversible body mounting system that lets you switch between standard and advanced body positions. This simple change alters aerodynamic balance and weight bias, useful when moving from tight technical layouts to faster circuits.

The Tamiya TA08 Pro is well suited to racers and serious hobbyists who want broad tuning scope and a responsive, low-centre-of-gravity platform. Its engineering focus makes it a strong choice for competitive on-road setups.
