For the next week or so, I will be doing a pro-buildup of Tamiya’s hot new TC, the TA06 Pro. Not only are we going to take you step-by-step (almost) through the build, but I will also be installing some of the latest TA06 Pro hop-ups. The end result should be a pretty sick TC that will still be TCS legal.
The Build – Part 1
Ok, let’s get to it. The manual starts you off with the rear gearbox, so that will be the focus of Part 1. Even though I will be using Tamiya’s optional TA06 Ball Differential, I will show you step-by-step for the supplied gear diff.
Build Notes:
I will be assembling this car using the IFS front suspension. For those of you unfamiliar with that, it is basically a lay-down type front end that allows the use of very low-slung bodies.
Final electronics are still up in the air, but I’m shooting for a 17.5 brushless system, LiPo pack and 2.4GHz radio. This is pretty much the norm and, again, it’s TCS legal.
The build will be from front to back in the manual and, if there are any areas I think need to be touched on I’ll do so. Pictures will be included too, but not necessarily for every step.
Part 2 – Assembling the rear gearbox to the chassis.
