Tamiya Subaru XV TT-02 Chassis

This is a R/C model assembly kit of the XV, a car Subaru introduced to the crossover SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) market in September 2012. The polycarbonate body accurately reproduces the car’s stylish form, including the distinctive indentations on the bonnet and the raised area that stretches from the nose to the tail. It also faithfully replicates the SUV-style fenders. The unique wheel design is depicted using stickers, and the model features racing radial tires with realistic tread patterns. The TT-02 chassis features easy-handling shaft driven 4WD, making the model a joy to drive!

The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms for ease of assembly plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings (the higher position is recommended for use with the Subaru XV body) and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
