Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition Revealed for Drift Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 84188 TA05-VDF Gold Edition Drift Chassis Kit brings high-quality parts and refined engineering to serious RC drifters. This special edition blends durable components with a standout gold finish to deliver both looks and dependable on-track performance.

Chassis Built for Consistent Drift Control

The TA05-VDF layout centres on a 2mm carbon Vertical Double Frame paired with a 2mm carbon lower deck to keep the structure rigid yet light. That combination improves handling precision and helps maintain consistent line and angle during extended drift runs.

Steering Geometry and Dampers

With a parallel geometry steering system, the chassis gives predictable counter-steer response that drifters rely on. The flourine coated, threaded TRF dampers provide smooth, adjustable damping, and the short reversible suspension, used on models like the TB03 and TRF417, makes setup changes straightforward.

Drivetrain and Tuning Features

The kit uses a belt-driven 4WD arrangement with full independent suspension to balance power delivery. Front ball differential and rear locked differential options suit a range of driving preferences, while universal joint axles and full ball bearings add durability. The gear ratio span from 4.39 to 8.53:1 supports a wide scope of tuning choices.

The kit is aimed at intermediate to advanced builders; basic assembly is straightforward but dialing in toe, camber and damping for drifting takes some trial and error.
Yes, the TA05-VDF adapts well to both smooth indoor carpet and sealed outdoor surfaces when you match tyre choice and gear ratio to the track.
