Compact rally Tamiya 58707 - 1/10 XV-02 Pro Off-Road RC Chassis Kit  [58707]

Introducing the XV-02 Pro chassis from Tamiya

The Tamiya 58707 XV-02 Pro chassis kit is aimed at modelers who want a controllable, serviceable rally platform. With a shaft-driven 4WD layout and options to adjust drive balance, the kit suits those who like to tweak setup for different track conditions.

Balanced drivetrain with front mid-motor installation

The XV-02 Pro adopts a shaft drive and places the motor front mid-ship, which permits equal-length prop shafts and reduced drivetrain irregularity. Included are two 39T differential gears and a 40T gear so you can experiment with over-drive or under-drive arrangements to alter front/rear torque split.

Construction highlights and component choices

The chassis uses a bathtub frame under a polycarbonate shell, with carefully positioned caster blocks for consistent steering geometry. Aluminum, oil-filled dampers and a longitudinal battery layout help keep handling composed. Metal motor mount and prop shafts give additional robustness where it matters.

Where it differs from the XV-01

Compared to the XV-01 which featured a belt drive and a 10 degree caster setup, the XV-02 Pro moves to a shaft drive and a 6 degree caster angle. These changes focus on improved steering response and steadier behaviour over uneven ground.

If you want an RC rally chassis that is easy to service and tune, the XV-02 Pro offers a measured set of upgrades and adjustments for both novices stepping up and experienced builders refining setup.
