About the TA08R

Performance Chassis

The TA08R Chassis Kit incorporates a range of advanced chassis components designed to optimize performance and durability on the race track. The 2.0mm carbon fiber upper deck ensures exceptional pitch rigidity, while the 630-ball bearing at the rear provides roll rigidity for improved stability during cornering. The aluminum motor mount features two screw-attached upper deck attachment points, enhancing overall chassis rigidity and reducing flex under high load conditions. Additionally, the chassis is equipped with front and rear aluminum upper arm mounts, providing enhanced rigidity and responsiveness for precise control. The rear body mount utilizes carbon fiber plates and aluminum posts to minimize body wobble and ensure stable rear traction, while the inclusion of additional ribs on the lower deck limits deformation for superior suspension performance and durability. With its innovative design and high-quality materials, the TA08R offers exceptional performance and reliability for serious racers.

Drivetrain

The TA08R Chassis Kit incorporates a sophisticated differential system for optimized performance on the track. With the inclusion of the TRF419 Gear Differential Unit, the kit ensures smooth and efficient power distribution to the wheels. Additionally, the differentials feature a front direct pulley and a rear gear differential, both equipped with aluminum components for enhanced durability and performance. The drive shafts are comprised of double cardan shafts at the front and lightweight universal shafts at the rear, further enhancing traction and stability during acceleration and cornering. These differential components, all contribute to the TA08R's superior handling capabilities and overall performance on the track.

Performance Suspension:

The TA08R Chassis Kit boasts an advanced suspension system designed to deliver superior performance and handling on the track. Featuring TA08 Carbon Damper Stays for both the front and rear, this kit ensures optimal stability and control during high-speed maneuvers. The addition of TA08 Low Friction King Pin Balls and cross joints further enhances the suspension's responsiveness and precision. Additionally, the kit includes 43mm swing shafts and Super Short Big Bore size dampers, providing smooth and consistent damping for improved traction and cornering capabilities. With front and rear carbon fiber damper stays and adjustable suspension mounts, drivers can fine-tune their setup to suit various track conditions and driving styles, ensuring maximum performance and agility on the racecourse.
