FAQ
THE KIT
What does a TA71 kit include?
Each kit contains: body, chassis, cockpit, UHD resin accessories, clear parts, and wheel inserts. Motor, tyres, paint, and any additional hardware are not included. Painting and assembly are required.
Is there a ready-to-race option?
Currently all TA71 slot car products are sold as kits. Assembly and finishing are part of the process — and the results are proportional to the time and skill invested.
What level of experience is required?
TA71 kits are professional-grade. A working knowledge of airbrushing, adhesives, and model assembly is expected. These are not beginner products.
MATERIALS
What materials are TA71 models produced in?
Two industrial-grade materials: PA12 polyamide, produced on HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 printers — the same material class used in aerospace and industrial component manufacturing — and UHD V5 Black Resin for the highest-detail parts. Both produced to professional standards.
What is the practical difference between PA12 and UHD resin?
PA12 delivers exceptional dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. UHD resin captures finer surface detail and is used for accessories and precision components, and offered as well as body option for those more oriented to gentleman racing or building shelf queens. Both require specific preparation before painting. The processes are different.
How do I prepare PA12 parts for painting?
PA12 preparation differs significantly from ABS or cast resin. A detailed step-by-step guide is available here: [link]
How do I prepare UHD resin parts?
Standard resin preparation applies: wash in isopropyl alcohol, dry thoroughly, light sanding if required, prime before painting.
CHASSIS & COMPATIBILITY
Are TA71 slot cars compatible with my existing motor pod setup?
TA71 chassis are proprietary. They are compatible with most standard third-party motor pod systems. NSR motor pods are not compatible with any TA71 chassis.
What motor configuration do TA71 chassis accept?
Depending on the model, inline, sidewinder and anglewinder configurations are supported. Specific motor and tyre recommendations are included in each kit.
THE MODELS
What scales are available?
The catalogue is centred on 1/32 and 1/24. Select models are available in other scales. Scale is specified on each product page.
Do you produce static display models as well as slot cars?
Yes. TA71 produces both slot car kits and static models. Each product page specifies the type. Both are built to the same production standard and carry full VIN# identification.
What is the VIN# system?
Every TA71 model carries a unique 15-character identification code — a proprietary system modelled on the automotive VIN — that permanently records its position in the global production history of the brand. Full explanation on the VIN# page.
