[TWINSET]

Is this new news, or so old I couldn't find it?

The design chassis only for the drift of shipping schedule pre-bid price \49,800 expectation of July of high-end drift chassis kit 【 tentative name 】 appears.

The motor made of aluminum mount is arranged in [roadekki] made of the carbon in [furontomido], and the best weight balance for the drift running is achieved. The maximum feature is “Double upper frame” that vertical (vertical) mount is done. The rigidity in the direction of the pitch (Before and behind) was high, and it was assumed in the direction of the roll (right and left) a flexible chassis characteristic made of the carbon of 2mm thickness.

The steering wheel system that becomes an important factor with the drift chassis improves a right and left tire slice corner, and parallel (parallel) geometry that runs side by side is adopted and the control at counter steering has been improved.

TA05 bulk head, 37T/18T Pulley, [sho-toriba-shiburusasua-mu], and upright TRF416, etc. are choice as for parts up to now, in the touring car with results. A lot of OP parts of the TA05 faction that abundantly becomes complete can be used. The new size front and rear belts, rear belt is × 2, front × 1. Furontoborudefu drive system, Riyadairekutokappuringu, universal shafts around, TRF damper equipped.

It is possible to use it ..[tamiyaguranpuritsu-ringuka-kurasu] (double deck object)…

Only four days behind - that's pretty good for me

Good to see something new and 'specific' from Tamiya, hope their body molders are on the case too

Nice. Looks just like the Drift Conversion kit version of the TA05 made by Square. I'd only found the conversion kit a few months back and it's a bit pricey for my liking, considering you'd need to buy a TA05 aswell, so a whole kit would be very nice indeed. Any ideas on what the UK price and release date would be? (if it'll be released over here)

That price looks to be around $500 USD...

I know I've waited too long to get one of these, I just didn't have the money, so I just want to know...

Is there anywhere that still has these in stock?

Would be nice if they brought out a plastic version or a conversion kit for the normal TA05. I am guessing its just a different weight distribution and steering geometry that makes it more suited to drifting.

Essentially that's correct. There's a few conversion kits already out there but I really just want the Tamiya VDF kit. I really wish I hadn't waited so long but I had to save for my hols plus Christmas. Now it looks like it's too late for me to buy one, even from a UK source.

Anyone know of any shop anywhere that still has the VDF chassis available?

Modelsport list it as 'available to special order' - might be worth a try?

none at the moment on fleaBay but week before xmas there were a few NIB kits

being offloaded by private sellers and some euro stores approx $430-500ish
