Driftmission.com presents a review of the Eagle Racing TA-05 GRT V1 Carbon Graphite (CG) conversion kit for the Tamiya TA-05 Version 2 chassis. I recently purchased a GRT conversion kit and will be performing a small review about the product. The donor chassis used is a Tamiya TA-05 Version 2, previously raced and abused? so, this is the perfect time to convert it to a full drift spec chassis!
