Tamiya introduce new TA07 Pro option parts

Coming from Tamiya are several new option parts for the club-level TA07 Pro touring car such as the 37T aluminium ball diff set and the front direct coupling set. Using the ball diff in place of the standard gear differential will make for a more stable handling while its durable construction allows to use both stock and modified motors. The front spool set gives the car a sharper initial acceleration and more stability under braking. It also contributes to a lighter-weight chassis. Also new are the aluminium steering arm set, the aluminium steering bridge as well as the front and rear carbon fibre damper stays all of which add rigidity, improve steering and suspension efficiency and up overall looks. The release is rounded out by an aluminium counter pulley, an 18T aluminium centre pulley as well as a titanium screw set.
