Overview of the Plasma Edge II

The Tamiya 57897 - 1/10 XB Plasma Edge II (TT-02B) updates a familiar platform with practical improvements for off-road driving. As an RTR model it reduces setup time while retaining scope for upgrades later.

Construction and Handling

Featuring a refreshed shell with new decals, the Plasma Edge II keeps its iconic lines while offering a modernised finish. The TT-02B chassis includes longer suspension arms, CVA shock units and reinforced buggy bumpers for enhanced durability. The chassis layout is straightforward to service, which appeals to many hobbyists.

Drive System and On-Track Behaviour

With a four-wheel-drive system and fully independent double-wishbone suspension, the Plasma Edge II is stable over rough surfaces. Friction dampers and square spike tyres provide traction on loose terrain, and the included 540-brushed motor with TEU-105BK ESC delivers steady, controllable power.

Pre-Painted Shell and Ready Use

The model is supplied with a factory-painted polycarbonate body so you can go straight to running. The fitted Finespec 2.4GHz radio keeps operation reliable when multiple cars are in use at the same venue.
