Introducing the Tamiya 42382 TRF420X Chassis

The Tamiya 42382 TRF420X Touring Car Chassis Kit brings a refined TRF concept to a 1/10 scale belt-driven 4WD package. Its double-deck construction is aimed at providing a controllable amount of flex to improve tyre contact and balance.

Fine Tuning and Gear Placement

Adjustable screw positions on the upper deck let you alter chassis stiffness to suit different tracks or driving styles. The TRF420X keeps the motor placement used on the TRF420 while relocating the spur gear in front of the motor to reduce nose lift and improve stability under acceleration.

Material Options and Suspension Layout

The kit offers either a 2.25mm carbon fiber lower deck or a 2mm aluminium lower deck to match surface grip. Suspension uses the TRF420 architecture with dedicated bulkheads for accurate setup, and the lightweight 43mm rear drive shafts contribute to sharper handling response.
