Tamiya's TA07 MSX Chassis Kit is a 1/10 four-wheel-drive, single-belt race touring kit with a mid-mounted motor, sold without body, motor or tires.

Its stage after the spur is 1.85:1, so the spur and pinion you fit decide the final drive. It is 370 mm long on a 257 mm wheelbase. Race classes often fix the gearing, so read the rules before choosing a pinion.

Transmission & axle: 1.85:1
Spur: 96T
Wheelbase: 257mm

Sold without a motor, so there is no stock KV: compare gearing by rollout.

Spec	Value	Basis
Vehicle
Class The kind of vehicle the maker sells it as. It sets what the car is built to do and which cars it is fair to compare it with. Touring cars are 4WD on-road cars for asphalt and carpet tracks, often raced in classes with fixed motor and battery rules. Drive All four wheels are driven, which puts power down more evenly and keeps the car steadier accelerating out of corners. The cost is more parts to maintain. Build A kit you build yourself from parts. Most kits come without motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery, and many without tires or a painted body. The manual lists what to add. Scale The maker's nominal size compared with a full-size vehicle. It works more as a class label than a measurement. A 1/10 monster truck is far bigger than a 1/10 touring car, so compare length and weight for real size. This one is 370 mm long. Part number The maker's product number for this exact version. A V2, a new color, or a kit instead of an RTR usually has a different number, and parts can differ between them. Check it against your box or receipt before ordering parts.

Drivetrain
Pinion The small gear on the motor shaft. Fewer teeth gear the car shorter: quicker acceleration, lower top speed and a cooler motor. More teeth do the opposite. On a chassis sold as kits, each kit brings its own. Spur The large gear the pinion drives. A bigger spur with the same pinion gears the car shorter. Pinion and spur must have the same pitch, or tooth size, to mesh. Transmission & axle Every reduction after the spur, multiplied together: transmission, differentials and axle gears. It is fixed by the design; the gearing you change is the pinion and spur. Final drive How many times the motor turns for one turn of the wheels. A higher number is shorter gearing: more acceleration and pulling power, less top speed. On-road racers often compare gearing by rollout instead, because tire sizes differ between cars.

Wheels & tires
Tire diameter The outside diameter of the mounted tire, tread to tread. A taller tire covers more ground each turn, which gears the car taller. Race tires wear down over a day, and a smaller tire gears the car shorter.

Power
Motor Motor KV is the RPM a motor turns per volt with no load. This vehicle comes without a motor, so there is no stock KV; it depends on the one you fit. Battery The highest LiPo cell count the maker rates the electronics for. This vehicle comes without electronics, so it depends on the ESC and motor you fit.

Battery	Not applicable
Performance
Theoretical top speed It needs a motor KV, and this vehicle comes without a motor. Fit one and the calculator works it out from the motor's KV and the gearing.
Theoretical top speed	Not applicable
Size & weight
Length Overall length as the maker states it, usually with the body fitted. Useful for comparing real size, since scale labels are loose. Width Overall width as the maker states it, usually with the body fitted. A wider car is more stable in corners and harder to roll over. Wheelbase The distance between the front and rear axle centers. A longer wheelbase is steadier at speed and over bumps; a shorter one turns more tightly.

How to read these figures

Stock is as the vehicle ships.
Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart.
Not applicable means the vehicle does not come with it, like the motor on a roller or the tires on a race kit, or does not have one, like a KV rating on a brushed motor.
Not published means it exists but no source we could find prints it.
Maker’s chart is the ratios the maker prints for this chassis with the pinions it names.

How these numbers were settled

Mid-motor single-belt 4WD race chassis kit with carbon upper decks, an aluminium or carbon lower deck and 20T centre and counter pulleys.

Tamiya prints no gear ratio for the kit itself; its 2026 All-Japan Championship rules list the TA07MS(X) on a 105T spur with a 27T pinion at 7.19:1, which gives the ratio after the spur: 7.19 x 27/105 = 1.849.
The 2024 rules list it on 102T/26T at 7.25:1 (1.848).
The manual's gear table (PDF p. 21; the MA44 96T is the fitted spur, a 105T MA45 is also in the box) prints 'Spur gear teeth (96T) / Pinion gear teeth x 1.85', which gives the kit spur and the ratio after it.
The pinion is not on the list of items to buy, and the page does not give its size, so the pinion and the final drive are left blank.
Tires, motor and speed controller are sold separately.
