TRF418 Chassis for Competitive Touring

The Tamiya 42270 - 1/10 TRF418 Chassis Kit delivers a competition-grade carbon fibre plate and a refined suspension layout aimed at delivering consistent lap times. It draws on driver feedback to refine balance and control.

High-Performance Build Highlights

Conceived for the 2014 IFMAR event, the TRF418 saw a comprehensive rework to improve handling precision. The belt-driven 4WD system ensures efficient power transfer while the fully independent double wishbone suspension and aluminium oil-filled dampers allow precise tuning for different circuits.

Updated Components and Tuning

Major updates include reshaped front and rear arms for improved kinematics, a distinct centre bulkhead to alter roll characteristics, and revised steering arms for predictable steering response. A 20T pinion gear is supplied to help reduce off-throttle speed loss.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive-train: 4WD
  • Drive type: Belt
  • Chassis material: Carbon fiber plate

The TRF418 is aimed at racers seeking a reliable, tunable chassis with high quality hardware and a wide set-up range for fine tuning handling characteristics.

Can the TRF418 accept different wheelbases and track widths?

Yes, the chassis design allows adjustments to wheelbase and track width to suit different handling preferences and body shells used in touring car classes.

Are sealed bearings fitted throughout the kit?

The kit specifies sealed ball bearings to reduce drivetrain friction and maintenance, helping maintain consistent performance during events.

How should I approach shock angle adjustments?

Changing shock angle alters roll centre and weight transfer. Start with small adjustments and test lap times to determine the effect before making larger changes.

Will the kit work with modern LiPo setups?

Yes, provided you select appropriate battery dimensions and the correct ESC programming for LiPo use. Confirm fitment and wiring layout before final installation.
