Tamiya 84432 - 1/10 TRF102 Black Edition Elite Formula Chassis Kit  [84432]

TRF102 Black Edition Overview from Tamiya

The Tamiya 84432 - 1/10 TRF102 Black Edition Chassis Kit delivers a deliberately dark anodised finish and refined geometry for competitive on-road use. The design caters to drivers who refine setup for tyre grip and track consistency.

Roll Damping and Pitch Control Enhancements

The revised T-Bar layout on the TRF102 provides progressive roll damping, improving chassis balance compared with the TRF101. By lowering the roll point ball the system increases damping authority through cornering phases.

Included are two T-bar thickness choices, 1.5mm and 1.8mm, to tailor roll stiffness to circuit conditions. A refreshed pitch axle offers independent pitch damping to reduce unsettled behaviour over bumpy sectors. The floating battery mount and revised servo fastenings permit controlled lower deck flexibility for improved front stroke.

Components That Support Precise Tuning

Carbon fibre decks and aluminium motor mounts create a stiff base while the rear suspension has been updated for more consistent traction. The kit uses F104 low-friction suspension balls and reinforced front arms for longevity. Adjustable metal uprights and an integrated diff plate assist fine setup work.

Overall, the TRF102 Black Edition is a compact, tunable chassis aimed at model racers who want a predictable, high-precision platform for on-road competition.
