For those who are passionate about RC racing, the Tamiya 42240 - TRF417 V5 Premium 1/10 RC Chassis Kit supplies a refined base for serious setup work. As a TRF-branded chassis, it targets drivers who value repeatable handling and tuning precision.

Proven Competition Heritage

Influenced by Tamiya's IFMAR ISTC achievements, the TRF417 V5 incorporates race-driven design elements. The chassis emphasises fine-tuning potential to help drivers achieve consistent lap times.

Optimised Carbon Structure and Dampers

New carbon fibre decks give controlled roll responsiveness. The one-piece aluminium servo mount secures steering inputs while retaining planned chassis flex. Aeration dampers and improved damper stays contribute to steady traction and weight transfer.

Yes, it is compatible with common 1/10 touring car bodies, though small trimming may be needed for optimal fit and cooling.
Inspect belt tension, screw tightness, suspension pivots and diff oil level; retune shocks and ride height after initial bedding-in runs.
The design uses shielded ball bearings as specified; confirm fit and replace any bearings that show play or wear during maintenance.
Use stiffer dampers, adjust anti-roll characteristics and reduce tyre slip by selecting harder compounds; small incremental changes are best to retain balance.
