drevil -> New Tamiya TB03 (5/9/2008 2:55:38 AM)

Just thought everyone would like to take a look at the new Tamiya TB03. Looks like it's got the front setup of the TA05 IFS. Release date is June 2008 though that is probably in Japan. BTW Tamiya USA's site already lists the kit and some parts for it.

Here is a search on Tamiya USA's site for TB03
http://www.tamiyausa.com/search.php?q=tb03&image.x=0&image.y=0

It lists the kit "RC ARTA Garaiya - TB03", a front one way, aluminum diff joint set, aluminum motor mount, aluminum propeller shaft, and titanium screw set.

Thanks for the info, looks interesting.



AutoXMan -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/9/2008 1:35:21 PM)

I am picking one up as soon as I can....



Lunchboxer -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/9/2008 2:26:52 PM)

It should be called TB-02 IFS!! [:D]

Looks good!! Without the shock tower up front, now you can run some low hood shell!! [:D]

Lunchboxer -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/9/2008 9:36:36 PM)

That's a good looking car! I will probably need to get a belt drive next, though, since I still have the TB-02 and the TC4 FT!



Lucky L. -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/12/2008 6:36:34 PM)

The body is certainly one of those things that you either love or hate.
I love it for being the most radical looking GT body that you can get for your car!
A pity that the rear lights look like stolen from a Toyota yaris.



drevil -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/16/2008 8:06:55 PM)

More pictures!

AutoXMan -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/16/2008 8:08:26 PM)

Loving the body options on this car... Can't wait for it to come out!



mindwreck -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/16/2008 8:52:26 PM)

damn.. another kit to put on my to-get list..



littleazn248 -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/29/2008 6:29:23 AM)

can you say extra weight? man thats gonna be some added weight from the cantilever design. What is it trying to imitate anyways a revo? I wonder does this mean i should upgrade from my tb-02r? hmmm.



lee172 -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/29/2008 9:26:54 AM)

slightly more weight, but also slightly more aerodynamic.



drevil -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/29/2008 2:19:55 PM)

More weight? If anything I would think it would remove weight. In exchange for the extra weight of the cantilevers you're removing the weight of the shock tower which is much larger. If there is a weight gain (due to the bearings in the cants) it's so little that you wouldn't be able to notice.

Besides that you're also moving the weight of the shocks, oil, springs, etc lower which should improve handling.

You do realize that the Revo wasn't the first to ever have inboard shocks right? F1 cars (full size and R/C) have been running this setup for a long time. [X(]



Lunchboxer -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (5/29/2008 3:04:14 PM)


Many real life race cars run in-board shocks for packaging reasons...

raymanh -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (6/3/2008 8:47:25 PM)

Ive read some reviews of the TA-05 IFS and it says that the IFS makes it lighter and allows for a more low nosed, more aerodynamic body.



redbarton -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (6/3/2008 10:18:58 PM)

Woohoo! It has a standard, slotted motor mount! That's kept me away from a lot of the Tamiya vehicles.

And...that body is uber cool!



sushipixel -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (6/7/2008 1:29:25 AM)

Looks amazing, cant wait to see it.
But i was thinking of purchasing a tb-02 and using that as a rally car with some conversions. Would you think this would make a more suitable rally car?



redbarton -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (6/7/2008 5:49:11 AM)

It seems the TT01 is the most popular chassis for rally conversion. The TB02 suspension is somewhat difficult to modify to get longer travel and higher clearance. I'm not sure the TB03 would be any better.

Or, you could go with a Losi XXX-S like me (and others)!



adrictan -> RE: New Tamiya TB03 (6/11/2008 3:39:03 AM)

Managed to get info from another Jap website. Shipping will commence from 26th Jun. Pre-order is accepted is including shipping to SG, it'll cost abt $330(Kit only)
