New from Tamiya America:
 
Tamiya TB EVO. 7 1/10 R/C Chassis Kit 
#42315, MSRP: $970.00
Public Release Date: October 20
 
This is the 7th generation TB EVO chassis. The new look TB EVO. 7 takes this chassis series, which is the pinnacle of Tamiya shaft-driven 4WD, in a brand-new direction: multiple selectable motor positions, the removal of an upper top deck with a stiffener used on the chassis deck in its place. 
 
Features:
  • 1/10 scale shaft-driven 4WD chassis assembly kit.
  • The chassis is based around a 2mm thick aluminum lower deck and 6mm thick center stiffener, which give a blend of rigid pitch damping and flexible roll. The number of screws used to attach the stiffener can be changed to alter chassis rigidity.
  • The lack of an upper deck lowers the chassis' center of gravity.
  • A largely overhauled layout includes updated motor positions and bulkhead design.
  • The motor is longitudinally mounted. Users can choose from 3 layouts (front; mid; rear) to adjust performance depending upon track conditions and driving style.
  • Equipped with TRF super short big bore dampers.
  • Motor clearance can be adjusted simply from above, for quick in-pit tweaks.
  • Steering linkage components are installed directly onto the bulkhead as opposed to being attached to the chassis. This removes any effect upon chassis roll.
  • Highly-efficient shaft-driven 4WD is achieved with a front direct coupling and WO universal shafts, plus a rear gear (oil-filled) differential unit and aluminum drive shafts.
  • Equipped with TRF418 suspension arms and TRF419 rear uprights.
