The TB series chassis design goes dating back to the Tamiya TGX nitro sedan chassis in 1994. The TGX pioneered the center shaft, ring and pinion drive train for model cars. This shaft drive design was soon applied to the TB-01 electric sedan framework, marking the start the TB series framework. The popularity of Sedan racing result in a variant regarding the TB framework called the TB Evolution. Built for racing, the TB Evolution was designed with performance features particularly a double deck carbon fiber framework, carbon surprise towers, aluminum engine mount and ball differentials. Information obtained from racing ended up being placed on enhance performance in the shape of the TB Evolution II. The TB Evolution II had lightweight differential components, aluminum bulkheads and adjustable suspension blocks that allow exact suspension system angle modifications.
Tamiya�s TB Evolution III could be the latest variant of this TB series framework featuring key improvements through the chassis. One of the most significant changes is the position for the engine and battery pack. The TB Evolution III is now equipped with the engine on right hand part of the chassis therefore the batteries regarding left. This somewhat decreases torque steer form the engine and promotes stable throttle reaction.
Brand new Performance features of the TB Evolution III
Lightweight differential out drives: These out drives are similar to the F201 together with 414M. The look maximizes smooth vibration free energy transfer to the wheels.
New Center Drive Shaft:
The middle drive shaft features reduced vibration during procedure further enhancing security and efficiency.
New Aluminum Spur Gear Adaptor:
Spur gear adaptor also reduces driveline vibration from the spur gear. Spur gear size is risen up to offset motor and further reduce drive loss.
Narrow Carbon Chassis:
The lower chassis was made 5mm narrower to aid center the battery pack and electronics causing faster steering response and paid off chassis scraping during heavy cornering.
New Chassis Brace Location:
The framework post connecting the upper and reduced chassis has been dedicated to the chassis to equalize framework rigidity.
414M Suspension:
Suspension arms, caster obstructs and uprights come from the 414MII. Adjustable suspension obstructs allow exact roll-center, anti-squat and anti-dive corrections.
New Front One-Way:
Just like the one-way product on the 414MII, featuring ultra smooth rotation for efficient cornering.
Immense Weight Loss:
Bulkheads happens to be eradicated to obtain 40g (1.4oz) fat cost savings.
The TB Evolution III improvements toward framework, drive train and weight improvements are sure to fit both Stock and Modified sedan racing.
