Race-Oriented Graphite Chassis for TRF421

Upgrade your Tamiya TRF421 with the Factory Pro O-TCP001 graphite main chassis to achieve a firmer, lighter platform. The 2.25mm graphite construction delivers improved steering response and enhanced stability at speed while remaining light enough to aid acceleration. Precision-cut for TRF421 mounting points, this chassis supports consistent handling across race days.

Why Choose a Graphite Baseplate

Graphite plates give a high stiffness-to-weight payoff that many racers prefer for predictable cornering and quicker weight transfer. The reduced flex improves driver feedback, and the robust material copes well with the demands of competitive running when properly maintained.

Does the chassis work with aftermarket bulkheads and braces?

Many aftermarket parts are compatible but verify bracket alignment and screw lengths before fitting. Minor adjustments or alternative hardware may be required for non-stock components.

How long should fitting take and what tools are needed?

Expect around 30-60 minutes for a careful swap using basic hand tools: hex drivers, screwdrivers and a torque feel to avoid over-tightening. Keep an eye on screw seating to prevent crush points in the graphite.

How to prevent warping or stress on the plate?

Tighten screws incrementally and avoid over-torquing. Inspect for hairline cracks after impacts and store the car away from heat sources to preserve flatness in the 2.25mm graphite.
