Overview of the Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R kit

The Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R is a 1/10 scale interpretation of the Vemac 408R that won at Round 8 Autopolis and finished third overall in 2007. Its TA05IFS chassis employs a 4WD equal-length belt system to distribute drive evenly and support controlled handling.

Inboard front suspension and tuning options

The distinctive front inboard suspension on the TA05IFS improves steering precision and chassis balance. Horizontal oil dampers, push rods and rocker arms create a suspension system that is both compliant over bumps and receptive to detailed setup changes.

Scale detailing and finishing options

The kit presents an authentic polycarbonate body complete with decal artwork reflecting the original sky blue panels and sponsor logos. Lightweight reversible suspension pieces help the car remain nimble while keeping the visual accuracy collectors expect.

Essential extras for completion

To get the model on track you will need a 2-channel radio with servos, a 6-cell flat battery fitted with the standard Tamiya connector, and a compatible charger. Use recommended paints for polycarbonate and ABS parts, and prepare basic modelling tools for the build and finishing stages.

The Tamiya 49489 WILLCOM ADVAN Vemac 408R suits enthusiasts who want a period accurate model with a chassis that can be tuned for both display and competitive runs.
