Tamiya 42103 TA05MS - Engineered Touring Car Chassis

The Tamiya 42103 TA05MS blends TA05 platform strengths with TRF-inspired refinements to produce a responsive on-road chassis. It is aimed at drivers who prioritise setup precision and consistent handling.

Carbon Double-Deck Construction for Control

The TA05MS uses a 2mm upper and 2.5mm lower carbon deck to boost structural rigidity while keeping mass low. This arrangement centralises key components and improves balance for repeatable cornering performance.

Belt Driven 4WD and Dynamic Handling

The drivetrain relies on a belt-driven 4WD system with wide pitch pulleys for smooth power delivery. A front one-way enhances turn-in and corner exit, and aluminium bulkheads maintain strength with minimal weight penalty.

Adjustable Dampers and Cooling Considerations

3mm carbon damper stays provide multiple mounting positions to tailor shock geometry to specific tracks. The aluminium motor mount reduces weight and helps channel heat away from the motor during prolonged running.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis Type: Carbon Fiber Double-Deck
  • Drive System: Belt-Driven 4WD
  • Suspension: Fully Adjustable
  • Motor Mount: Aluminum
  • Steering System: Aluminum Steering Arm

This chassis is intended for hobbyists and club racers who want a tuneable, high-precision platform to refine for different circuits.

Do I need special tools to assemble the TA05MS?

Basic RC tools such as hex drivers, body reamers and thread lock are sufficient. A setup board and callipers are useful for precise alignment and measurements.

What are sensible motor and gearing choices?

Select a 1/10 touring motor and match gearing to your track length and tyre size. Cooler running and reliable gearing prevent overheating during race stints.

How often should I check drivetrain components?

Inspect belts, pulleys and bulkheads regularly for wear and correct tension. Routine checks before each meeting help avoid failures and ensure consistent performance.

Can the chassis be upgraded with aluminium options?

There are aluminium upgrade parts available for various TA05 components if you want to increase durability or fine tune flex characteristics, but the kit already includes key aluminium items.
