About the TC-01 chassis

• In addition to the unique Formula E Gen2 body, this chassis is compatible with standard touring car measurement bodies. Wheelbase: 257mm.
• A hybrid combination of monocoque and upper frame is reminiscent of that seen on the TA07 and other modern Tamiya chassis. It offers superior rigidity and the potential for a whole range of setups.
• All-new front and rear inboard suspension utilizes identical left and right long arms and uprights for optimal leverage ratio and streamlined maintenance. Oil dampers are actuated by push rods and rocker arms.
• Use of different spacers allows alteration of camber, caster and toe angles for maximum freedom of setup.
• Change bumpers and body mounts to switch between formula and touring car layouts.
• The shaft-driven 4WD layout uses TB-05 design oil-filled gear differentials for smooth, efficient drive.
• Compatible with IFMAR standard dimension battery packs.
• Plenty of Hop-Up Option parts are planned to soup up the chassis even more!

Viewed from the rear, highlights include the prominent diffuser. The realistic polycarbonate body is composed of eight parts.

Stickers are included to recreate the light blue markings of the Championship Car, with the user painting black and silver areas.

Front wheels are covered by fenders in a really striking design. Areas between fender and nose can be left uncut and clear if desired.

A separately molded plastic depiction of the halo adds realism to the cockpit. Side mirrors are likewise separate parts.

Take a closer look at the separated rear wing, which is supported by individual stays, and adds to the futuristic look.

TC-01: Seriously Low-Profile
This durable composite monocoque-frame chassis provides shaft driven 4WD from a central motor via front and rear propeller shafts, with oil filled gear differentials. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs long arms, plus inboard setups front and rear with oil dampers actuated by push rods and rocker arms to allow the use of low-profile bodies. Adjust spacer width to easily alter camber, skid and toe angle settings. Both suspension arms and uprights are identical left, right, front and rear, for more efficient pit work.
