Tamiya has announced a new TA-06 Pro Upgrade package that will come
with hop ups out of the box. They have yet to announce a price, but say
it should be available sometime this month at Tamiya retailers. This
will be a limited edition run so they will probably sell out fast
considering all the upgrades. Although it’s not a purpose built drift
machine it has been gaining popularity due to part availability and
adaptability of the chassis. DriftMission recently picked up a full CF
TA-06 Pro sdthat we will be featuring soon, along with a full review of
the TA-06 Pro chassis. This kit will include hop ups like F/R
Stabilizer Sets, Aluminum Steering Set, Upgraded Drive Shaft, and more.
The TA-06 Pro features F-1 style suspension, narrower chassis foot
print, longitudinal battery positioning and features Tamiya’s new Dual
Drive System. Check out the full article for all the details we have.

"The latest addition to Tamiya’s on-road R/C touring car product line is
the TA06 PRO, which was created with input from the world
championship-winning TRF (Tamiya Racing Factory) team. Tamiya started
the modern touring car standard with the TA-01, which was first
released in 1992. This is the 6th generation 4WD chassis, which
features a totally new layout design that offers excellent balance. The
motor and battery are mounted along the center-line of the chassis with
the radio gear positioned on either side. The DUAL-DRIVE SYSTEM
features belt-driven front and gear-driven rear wheels. The gear-driven
wheels offer sharp throttle response and improved acceleration. The
battery pack can be accessed from the underside of the chassis for
convenience. The refined Inboard Front Suspension (IFS) setup can also
be changed to a standard outboard setup thanks to the kit-included
damper stay parts. Front and rear gearboxes are equipped with
newly-designed gear diff units to efficiently transmit motor power and
offer
superb traction and acceleration.
