Xanavi Nismo GTR (TB03 Chassis)

This is the latest kit from Tamiya... The Xanavi Nismo GTR on Tamiya TB03 shaft driven 4WD chassis...
The Xanavi Nismo GTR has made an impressive start to the 2008 Super GT series in Japan winning on debut and going on to record back to back wins... With its strong comeback to competitive racing, the GTR has also grown...
This is an assembly RC model of the Xanavi Nismo GTR... One of the top contenders for the championship and is driven by Satoshi Motoyama and Benoit Treluyer... Its low road hugging form is realistically reproduced and the seperated front fender end and headlight parts enhances the realistic finish to this model...
Equipped with many race use parts as standard, the TB03 also features a longitudinally mounted motor and shaft driven with 3 piece propeller shaft... The bathtub chassis has an integrated motor cooling duct to enhance motor performance as well... The suspension is made up of TRF416 front and rear uprights, short reversible suspension arms and the unique front inboard layout just like my TA05IFS.. The only difference between TB03 and my TA05IFS is TB03 is shaft driven while my TA05IFS is belt driven...
I am waiting for this bodyshell... Gonna get it once it reach Malaysia...

Stabilizer Bar / Sway Bar / Anti Roll Bar
You can call it what you like... Stabilizer, sway or anti roll bar... The purpose of the stabilizer/sway/anti roll bar is to tie the left and right wheels, either front or rear together to help control bodyroll... For example, as an RC car rolls through a left hand turn, inertia forces the car to roll over it on the right side... If there is no sway bar, the right side suspension compresses and the left side goes into droop or extends... With an on road car like touring and drifters, this overloads the right side wheel and under utilizes the left and in tun lowering the car overall ability to maintain traction...

Let's add a sway bar to the scenario... As the car rolls through the turn, the right side of the suspension compresses as before... But now instead of the left side of the suspension going into droop, the sway bar pulls the left wheels up... This limits body roll and actually causes the car to settle down through a turn... The end result is actually to lower the car's center of gravity thus making it more stable...

The end result is actually to lower the car's center of gravity thus making it more stable...

Just like spring for absorber, sway bar comes with soft, medium and hard... So it is important to choose it according to your driving style and also track condition... If you are driving on a high traction surface and your car wants to oversteer, try to use sway bar on the front only... This will decrease the front chassis roll and decrease steering throughout the corner... This has the feeling of increasing rear traction... If your car is understeering, then try using sway bar on the rear only... The rear sway bar will decrease rear chassis roll and decrease rear traction... This has the feeling of increasing steering... If the conditions are very bumpy, then sway bar are not necessary... That's because if you hit a bump with one wheel, a hard sway bar can also upset the wheel on the other side of the suspension... This can cause smaller bumps that are not a problem with a plush suspension to feel much larger than actually are...
