TRF201XM Mid-Motor Racing Chassis

The Tamiya 42277 - 1/10 RC TRF201XM Chassis Kit evolves the TRF201 into a mid-motor racing platform. With roots in the TRF201 campaigned by Lee Martin at the 2013 IFMAR 2WD Off-road World Championships, this kit focuses on balanced dynamics and track performance.

Design That Improves Balance

The mid-motor configuration centralises mass to improve traction and handling on a range of off-road layouts. An aluminium chassis deck and an updated gear case allow for improved drive shaft geometry to keep the car stable at speed.

Tuning Range and Ride Quality

The fully independent double wishbone suspension and aeration oil dampers provide consistent ride control and precise feedback. Adjustability for camber, toe and shock angle enables detailed setup work to refine cornering and stability.

Build Notes and Parts Compatibility

This assembly kit requires separate purchase of motor, tyres and electronics, giving builders freedom to choose components. The included Pro-Line Phantom body complements the chassis, and compatibility with both ball and gear differentials offers setup flexibility.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive-train: 2WD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone
  • Chassis Material: Aluminium
  • Shock Damper: Oil-filled aluminium
  • Bearings: Shielded ball bearing
  • Motor: Not included

The TRF201XM is a choice platform for experienced racers who want a tunable mid-motor setup. Its engineering and adjustable geometry support competitive trimming and development.

No, the kit requires separate motor, ESC, radio and battery. It is supplied as an assembly project for those who want to select their own electronics.
Regular checks of drivetrain angles, shock seals and bearing condition will keep performance consistent. Clean and re-lube after wet or dusty runs.
Adjusting rear toe and diff type has a strong impact on oversteer. Softer rear damping can also increase rotation on corner exit.
Spare parts and hop-ups for this platform are widely available via hobby suppliers, making repairs and upgrades straightforward.
