Drag link on the steering rack adjusts ackerman angle. Looks like a pretty decent car. Tamiya is releasing a 'drift spec' suspension set, so they probably have higher steering angle than their normal racing suspension. For ~usd350 street price, it's a pretty good value. As much as people talk bad about the vdf, many people have good results with the car.
yeah, I dont get the hate either. Add in the fact most US Hobby suppliers dont carry Yokomo and many other "off" brands(associated, traxxas, hpi, and losi are the most common and none have a true drift chassis except HPI and its very limited and needs lots of modding and hop-ups to even compete), you have to get it all off of the internet. Most local hobby stores use great planes or tower hobbies as a supplier. Also, the VDF may not have a bunch of options made by Tamiya themselves, they have one of the largest varieties of suppliers for hop ups.

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
The thing I don't like is how complicated the design is. R31 has 3 belts and it's a hell of a lot simple design. It's not like all the extra stuff will make it better. I think they just like to have lots of parts so they can sell u bling parts. I have the vdf and I love it but even that is a little too much going on.

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
Found a litte bit more info
Please look forward to an aggressive chassis design gives a surprise to what you see! !
Evolved into a more aggressive "TA05-VDF" was Todorokase its name as a high-end machine drift.
Lower Deck 2.5mm carbon chassis in order to generate a proactive role, became the new shape is bold without meat cutting,
We design and configuration and the pursuit of flexibility, such as the upper frame is single and over.
New design that emphasizes the role aluminum motor mount is also located in the front mid further.
Was also involved in making and look to more than VDF, such as adding a center belt was also down to spar Rowadekki position is also fixed with two screws.
Steering system is also of course play an important role while up the angle adjustment, as can also be changed to correspond to grip Ackerman,
Success in stage Almighty can be expected.
Rear suspension is a combination drive system most prone to drift ball diff before, after and direct.
37T drive ratio changes before and after, the center 18T.
Knapp chain suspension is also possible to their liking in the wide range of parts along with the equipment of enhancement OP Ribasasu short, TRF damper shaft and universal, such as aluminum turn buckle also.
And feeling more natural drift in the review part of the section link steering, aluminum steering wiper.
It is also possible to grip part of the specification and Ackerman link by recombinant also.
The motor mount
Aluminum motor mount has undergone a big change from VDF.
You try to bring down three belt with spur that was on the motor position, you place the center belt.
Please see the mosquito single upper frame, and mount two stop this, a thorough commitment to the chassis roll.
[Product Specifications]
Electric RC
366mm: Length assembly kit 1/10 scale
This item will be only the chassis. Wheels, tires, motor is not included.

People tend to believe you must get all the alloy bling or your car is inferior, but that's just rubbish.

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
yep, most of the bling just adds weight. Most people arent bashing these enough to see the positives/negatives of aluminum like you would on an offroad vehicle or an onroad racer.
Most other forms of RC racing/bashing people go to aluminum for more durability, or the go overboard with too much aluminum and then it starts to bend and break because theres no plastic/carbon pieces to absorb the contact.
RC drifting, almost all the bling parts are just for looks.

^^ WEAK!
You'd think Tamiya would have some sort of web presence to communicate this to drift fans around the world. If only there was some sort of digital distribution technology to allow this to happen...

I had the choice to take OTA-R31 arms for vertical dampers and mod those for Adjustable caster mod, or i could buy Yokomo Type C lower arms which are ready for adjustable ackerman, but have the dampers under a ~45 degree angle. I've chosen the last option simply because it's much easier to make these aluminum plates you can see on the pic. Dampers are almost vertical with these plates which indeed means i don't have to run high offset rims to stop the rims from hitting the dampers.

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
Despite the lower deck being thicker 2.5mm, it has hardly any cut outs compared to vdf1. I like the one piece upper deck on the vdf2. Less screws for twisted chassis.

Looks really neat and far more spacious than VDF1.

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
That looks more like a standard TA-05 with the motor moved from a horizontal to a vertical front position and the battery moved from a side to a rear... which opens up the entire middle for electric components... this a pretty good idea... and honestly looks less complicated that a VDF and seem like you could easily convert your standard TA-05 to the this... at a minimal cost… They cant charge a premium price for something this simple???

Re: Tamiya TA05-VDF2
They will charge premium price look at all the bling. Tamiya bling isn't cheap. It does look simpler than the vdf the third pulley by the spur looks like an after thought. I still dont like the single top bracing.
