Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt 1/8 Nitro Truggy Kit  [49497]

Introduction to the Tamiya 49497 TRF801Xt

The Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt is a 1/8 scale nitro truggy kit engineered for precision setup and resilient construction. It provides a solid foundation for racers who want predictable behaviour across practice and race sessions.

Optimised Powertrain and Chassis

The TRF801Xt arranges front and rear propeller shafts to keep the driveline almost straight, which helps reduce energy loss and improve acceleration. The 3mm A7075 hard anodized Duralumin chassis and machined aluminium parts add stiffness where it matters.

Built for Tunability on the Track

Practical features such as carbon fibre servo plates, sealed radio boxes and full ball bearings reduce maintenance variables. The suspension uses lock nut captured hinge pins and universal drive shafts for reliable geometry, while high-volume shocks and a low-profile polycarbonate body assist in consistent handling.

For racers seeking a tuneable and tough truggy, the Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt is a capable kit that responds predictably to setup changes and upgrades.
