Tamiya TA-05 VDF

Tamiya TA-05 VDF by Murdock

Tamiya’s TA05VDF limited edition uber high end drift spec chassis! I was very fortunate to be able to obtain this chassis back when it was first released. I staged my build into sections as it took me a couple days to get it all finished. Total build time was about 5-6 hours. I purchased it new from Much Hobby in Canada, and got it shipped for about $400. I purchased almost all the hop ups available. Here is my journey!

Stage 1 (Unboxing & CA glue prep):


The Electronics

Super glue on the edges of Carbon Fiber pieces. I recommend using CA glue that does not leave fog. I used the type that does leave fog after it dries. ZAP CA glue for rubber tires does not fog.

Stage 2 (The build):
Preparing to assemble.

Bag A
