Tamiya have announced an even further hopped-up chassis in the ever-evolving TA series, the TA08 Pro.

This sees the battery as well as the electronics on the opposite angled towards the centre line at 10 degrees to prevent contact with the track surface. The spur gear is positioned in front of the motor for more stable drivability, powering the dual belt and the included TRF420 gear differentials and steel TA07 differential joint cups.
