Tamiya has just announced the TC-01 Formula E Gen 2 car, a brand new 4WD chassis that has some pretty cool features!
The TC-01 is the next name in line (after the TA and TB series rides), with the first version being a Formula E variant. The inboard suspension allows for a very low-slung layout, lending itself well to low-slung bodies (like the Formula E).
Here are some of the features of the new TC-01:
• This chassis is compatible with standard touring car measurement bodies with a wheelbase of 257mm
• A hybrid combination of monocoque and upper frame is reminiscent of that seen on the TA07 and other modern Tamiya machines. It offers superior rigidity and the potential for a whole range of car 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 performance.
• Compatible with IFMAR standard “square-shape” dimension battery packs.
• Hop-Up Option parts to further tune your machine available.
Specs:
Length: 430mm
Width: 188mm
Height: 99mm
We’re really looking forward to building and driving this new machine – it looks REALLY cool!
