Introducing the Tamiya 42167 - TRF201 Chassis

The Tamiya 42167 - TRF201 Chassis Kit showcases iterative design aimed at competitive performance. As a 1/10 scale 2WD platform refined over two years, it emphasises robustness and predictable handling to suit track-focused builders.

Enhanced Gearbox and Diff Engineering

The TRF201 incorporates a sealed gearbox and ball differential using inch-size diff balls and new thrust bearings for smoother, longer-lasting operation. The updated differential carrier tooth shape is intended to improve wear characteristics under race conditions.

Front Suspension and Steering Response

The front end uses aeration dampers with updated coil springs to offer stable suspension action and clear steering feedback. Front axles support metric bearings for certain wheel choices; an inch bearing option is available via Item 54220.

Body Design and Wing Selection

The bodywork is designed to aid aerodynamic balance and control. Two wings are provided so drivers can pick the aero setup that matches grip level and cornering style at different tracks.

Chassis Layout and Mass Distribution

Made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon resin, the chassis gives a strong but light foundation. The longitudinal battery mounting and refined rear area help reduce roll and lower the centre of gravity for improved stability.
