Tamiya TA05-VDF2 Official Thread
 

This is an evolved version of Item 84132 TA05-VDF chassis. The original VDF's basic layout has been kept, but the vertical double frame has been changed to a single frame to offer greater chassis roll flexibility. The carbon fiber lower deck has also been redesigned with more roll flexibility. The 3-belt drivetrain features a new aluminum motor bulkhead which has a lower spur gear position. In addition, the parallel geometry steering setup enables a wider range of setting possibilities. Just like its predecessor, the new VDF II chassis also comes with high-spec parts such as TRF dampers, short reversible suspension arms, front ball differential, and rear direct coupling.

Cool drift car.

Fantastic...

Im excited to see what its like and am interested in selling my rc8be for that car!

Is there anywhere else where I can get more information on these car from the drivers? Thinking to get either the VDF 2 or the MST MS-01D Pro carbon spec so making up my mind.

whats the deal with the drift scene in the US

you cant find stuff, Ive looked into the TC-FD and the VDF2 and I havent bought either one for the lack of spare parts or info about the chassis.

the E4D MF pro is the only thing I can find spare parts for. even something as simple as belts.

I just recently got into the RC drifting, and right away jumped on the sprint 2 due to knowing nothing about the hobby...reading more into it and now me wanting to deffinatly go CS, these front mounted motor chassis seem alot better and have alot more CS kits available. But I am going to stick with my sprint 2 and just tune/mod it until im satisfied with it.

Iv done a bunch to it within the month iv had it and yesterday just picked up some universal dogbons so i can shave the Chub / buckle for more steering angle.

Im going to start with the easiest CS 53% to start. and then mess with getting more weight into the front of chassis and softer springs for weight shifting.

ordered one of these beasties online last week, completly new gear going in. this is my first drift car so will just be learning as i go any way heres my set up

ta05 vdf v2 chassis
drift spec novak 13t motor and esc combo
spektrum dx3s and sr3300t receiver
couple of turningy 5200mAh lipo's
Savox SC-1251MG servo

this is the first time i have used any of this gear so am interested to see what the whole project turs out like, any comments on what you guys think of the set up will be appreciated.

also would like to know what kind of mods you guys have been using and work best etc

hey guys i own both vdf 1 and 2 and the ver2 is so much better then ver1

as like other chassis you get what you pay for and i will be upgrading mine
i just got it 3 weeks ago so ill let you guys know what i end up doing

im building and running 4 chassis
MST fs-01d red
Team magic E4D MF pro
3racing Sakura D3
Tamiya VDF ver2


the gear i run in all my chassis
Servo
Savox 1257tg or 1251mg and spektrum 6040

Radio
Spektrum Dx3r pro rx sr3100

motor
10.5 sensor

What would be a good motor setup for the Tamiya VDF2 and also what lipos are you guys running? Would really help me out! I wanna get a nice motor..preferred Brushless system. Thanks guys in advance :)!

seems most people just throw what they already have in it and drive it.

I have an 8.5 in my sprint 2 drift right now but my VDF2 shipped today.
im thinking of going with something between 8.5-13 for the vdf2

can someone post a link or a part number for all the belts that are in the car, I wanna order at least one spare of each belt but I dont have part numbers or know any places that sell them.

for a battery im sure any 5000mah lipo will fit fine, i may go with one in some kind of carbon wrapping to match the chassis

anyone got any links or part numbers for all three belts on the VDF2?

I wanna order some spares

I found the part numbers for the belts in case anyone else is needing them also.

medium & short belt: 6244027

Long belt: 6244026

Finally got everything together and drove the car for the first time with a xern 10.5t motor which is considered a competiton motor for drifting snd i am pretty excited to do some drifting with this kit!

Is anyone still drifting the VDF2 at all? I can't seem to find a lot of people who have the chassis!
