Conversion from TA-03F to TA-03F PRO:
To improve the performance of a TA-03F chassis, you can replace the plastic tub chassis with a double FRP chassis, acronym for “Fiber Reinforced Polymer”. For this conversion, Tamiya offers the parts set Code 53306, described as the “TA-03F FRP Chassis Conversion Set” (refer to the image on the right showing the components included in the set). This conversion transforms a TA-03F into a TA-03F Pro, model number 58177.
These are the instructions for building the chassis with the front and rear gear assemblies already prepared.
Additional accessories are available to enhance performance and achieve a replica of the TA-03F PRO Special Edition model 58200. The list is closely tied to the image below, with the parts listed following the order in which they are arranged in the image, starting from the top-left corner and moving to the right and downward:
– Code 53056 described as “Pin Type Wheel Adapter Tamiya”,
– Code 53172 described as “TA-03 Universal Drive Shaft 1 pair,” alternatively, two sets with anodized collars are available: Code 53310 described as “TA-03 Universal Drive Blue Shaft 1 pair” and Code 49098 described as “TA-03 Universal Drive Shaft Pink 1 pair”,
