Precision M-Chassis engineering from the Tamiya 47480 M-08R

The Tamiya 47480 M-08R Chassis Kit targets racers who value precise geometry and durable components. It offers a well-specified platform for developing consistent handling through setup work.

Enhanced drivetrain for predictable response

Featuring a ball differential, universal shafts with low-friction cross joints and lightweight aluminium swing shafts, the drivetrain is designed to deliver steady torque and reliable traction during competitive sessions.

Responsive suspension for tighter lines

Carbon fibre damper stays together with big bore aluminium dampers provide a refined response. Titanium-coated suspension shafts and adjustable turnbuckles make it straightforward to dial in camber and steering behavior.

Component quality that aids development

Tamiya supplies a carbon fibre battery holder, aluminium ball connectors and a chassis balance weight so you can concentrate on setup choices instead of sourcing bespoke parts.

A solid platform for experienced modellers and club racers, the M-08R rewards careful setup with consistent lap-to-lap performance.

Try increasing front toe-in slightly and softening rear damping. Small changes to front roll centre and front camber can significantly reduce understeer without upsetting balance.
Yes, you can tune differential preload and grease choice to suit low or high grip conditions. Lighter grease gives quicker steering while heavier grease stabilises traction.
Regularly clean and inspect the universal joints, check for play in swing shafts, and service dampers to remove debris and replenish oil for consistent damping.
The platform is used by many competitive drivers. Ensure your chosen upgrades and motor comply with event regulations and refine setup for the specific circuits you will race on.
