RS6 conversion for Tamiya TA06

R Sector have introduced their RS6 Conversion kit for the Tamiya TA06. Its unique structure allow it to maintain stiffness without a permanent upper deck, although when the removable upper deck is in place additional stiffness will be added to the chassis. The new layout means that the battery is now removed from the top with just two thumb screws. A specially designed one piece front steering bulkhead is connected to the chassis braces for a more rigid front end structure, while the rear chassis support is a critical part of the design because it is there to maintain the stiffness of the rear section and to protect the battery from the heat of the motor. Other features include a redesigned aluminium motor bridge for a wider selection of motors and the mounting of a high performance low profile cooling fan for better cooling.
