The Tamiya TC-01 is a highly innovative 1/10 scale 4WD chassis that was first released in 2020. It was designed to bring something fresh and unique to Tamiya's touring car lineup. At its heart, the TC-01 is a shaft-driven, full-time 4WD platform with a layout heavily inspired by real-world Formula E cars. In fact, it first launched as the chassis for Tamiya's Formula E Gen2 car model, but it is fully adaptable to other body styles too, such as touring car shells. Its most distinctive feature is its fully enclosed monocoque chassis, which wraps over the drivetrain and electronics to create a very clean, aerodynamic shape and protect key components from debris.
