Tamiya 58690 Landfreeder Quadtrack TT-02FT unboxing video

It’s been sometime since we’ve done a stand-along unboxing here on the channel, but when the Tamiya Landfreeder Quadtrack RC Truck Kit arrived we felt it needed to be seen. This new kit from Tamiya is based on the TT-02 chassis, but is now designated as the TT-01 FT because of the four tracks on the trucks suspension. That’s right, no wheels, just tracks to help the off-road truck tackle nasty terrain like sand and snow. In this video, Greg will go through the box and show you some of the unique parts. Tamiya RC model fans will surely appreciate seeing some of these new parts up close. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the review of this truck!

Full details photos and video of Tamiya 58693 TA08 PRO Chassis Kit

Speedy and controllable 2 belt-driven 4WD chassis in TA series!
It has been five years since the last time new number chassis in the TA 4WD R/C touring car series. The slim TA08 PRO Chassis Kit eliminates the need for an upper deck, which balances weight and rigidity. Its layout features the motor in near identical position to the TRF420, with the spur gear in front of the motor. Newly designed upper & lower arms make effective use of tire grip, equipped with laid down SSBB (Super Short Big Bore) dampers. This kit was based on Tamiya’s extensive know-how built up through our traditional chassis series and data from racing, and offers plenty of potential for tuning.
