2016 Shizuoka Hobby Show Pre-Show releases
Here are some items that were shown before the 2016 Shizuoka Hobby Show started
58636 TA07 PRO
The TA series of mid-range touring car chassis has been running
since 1991. The TA series is a great option for racers, plus those ready to
take the next step from entry-level machines such as the TT model series. The
TA series now receives an update with this brand new model - the TA07 PRO
chassis, which is the first new-number variant since the TA06 in 2011. It
utilizes a new composite layout, fused with proven part designs from the
top-class TRF419 chassis suspension. As a result, the chassis features highly
optimized flex characteristics, plus tried and trusted drivetrain parts in a
fresh 1 belt-driven setup.

and F/R stiffener parts are separate.
·
Slim
line lower deck piece features a skid-shaped underside to minimize contact with
the track surface.
·
Single
belt-driven 4WD provides efficient acceleration.
·
Drivetrain
utilizes 8 ball bearings.
·
The
motor can be switched between one of three positions, each with its own
performance characteristics.
·
Utilizes
race-proven TRF419 suspension, steering parts (same Ackerman geometry) and gear
diff units.
·
Includes
universal drive shafts, adjustable battery holder and TRF dampers.
·
Battery
is inserted from chassis side.
·
Requires:
2-channel radio, ESC, Body, 7.2volt battery & charger, and motor.
Further Details from Tamiya’s Design Team:
The upper frame allows for a symmetrical chassis design, which in
turn helps to optimize chassis flex.
Note: that front/rear stiffener, and center brace parts are
attached separately to the integrated lower and side frame piece.
The efficient single belt winds back around the main and counter
pulleys. Using one belt as opposed to two facilitates the changeable motor
position feature. It allows simple reconstruction of the chassis using the
existing belt rather than many different lengths.
The 3 motor positions cover a total range of 52mm. Changing motor
positions is easy; just take off the cover, remove 2 screws, and re-attach the
motor mount in the desired position.
TRF419 suspension parts and gear differentials give top-level
performance and reliability. Like on the
TRF419, the servo mount is attached on one side only, with chassis flex
in mind. The battery can be removed via the chassis side.
58634 1/10 R/C NSX (TT-02)
Availability: June
This Radio Control assembly kit model recreates the NEXT
GENERATION NSX supercar. The full-size car is a highly technical and utterly
thrilling supercar. With weight-saving construction, a hybrid powertrain that
has three electric motors and a mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 making a
combined output of 573 HP, the NSX offers pulse-pounding performance paired
with everyday usability. The power plant is mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch
automatic, which moves an all-wheel drive train.
Tamiya has faithfully reproduced this sleek racing machine in 1/10
scale on the TT-02 entry-level on-road chassis. The TT-02 chassis is the
successor to the TT-01 as it incorporates many new features to make it even
easier for the new R/C kit builder to assemble and learn from. The TT-02
chassis performs well as cornering and overall speed has been enhanced to take
advantage of new electronics available on the market. In addition to the TT-02
being an ideal platform to start from, R/C hobbyists can expand its potential
by adding many of the Hop-Up Options available to increase the cars speed and
performance.
Specifications:
·
1/10
scale R/C model assembly kit.
·
The
sleek form of the NSX (NC1) is accurately captured in durable polycarbonate,
with separate molded side mirror and front light case (please note that light
cases are not compatible with LEDs) parts.
·
The
TT-02 chassis features a shaft-driven 4WD system to offer easy handling and
great customizability.
·
Stickers
are included to recreate both Acura (U.S.) and Honda (Japan) spec car
exteriors, as are masking stickers for use when painting.
·
Utilizes
gunmetal color mesh wheels.
·
Includes
540 Torque-Tuned motor and TBLE-02S ESC with brushed and brushless motor mode.
·
Requires:
2-channel radio, 7.2volt battery and charger, and Tamiya PS polycarbonate
paint.
