Tamiyausa Blog TA07

The new TA07 kit is very unique looking car with its non conventional chassis designs, and it's option of three motor positions for tuning. It has proven to be very competitive on asphalt tracks like Tamiya America. So I went to my local track TQ RC Racing to see how it works on carpet. to my surprise it wasn't that bad, having a outdoor setup and rear motor position, it was drivable, however hard to hang on to. So with some setup changes like shock oil, springs, Ackerman, and camber link height position the car got faster and easy to drive. I noticed by belt skipping under acceleration, with a single belt design it's normal for the belt to skip under braking not acceleration. With the high traction of carpet the rear of the chassis was flexing making the belt skip. To fix this I installed the spur gear cover that comes in the kit , which we don t run on asphalt to get more flex and traction. At the track I had some help testing the TA07 with Mark Santa Ines, he ran the car with the mid motor position which looks very promising, the car with this motor setup feels free with more corner speed then the rear motor. We ran all day till closing getting the TA07 faster with each setup change.
