They help keeping the suspension functioning properly in soaking up the bumps and providing traction by eliminating the plastic nylon shock towers and replacing them with high quality graphite parts.

Tamiya M-07 Concept chassis kit – Coming soon

Tamiya have officially announced the forthcoming release of the all-new M-07 M-chassis kit. Although there are still no images available, Tamiya USA have released information on all features of the kit that was designed by the same designer who brought the TA-07 Pro Touring Car Chassis to life. The chassis takes a number of design cues from Tamiya’s touring car models and features a largely changed design from its numeric predecessors. The goal set forth with this new platform; ease of maintenance and responsive drive characteristics, all of which were attained during its development. The kit is set for a release at the end of June and it will be accompanied by 13 hop-up parts that will become available at that time too.
