Stability and Serviceability with the TRF420 Differential

The Tamiya TRF420 Gear Differential Unit Set, part of the Tamiya Spare Parts Series, is built to improve the controllability of TRF-class cars. It is a compact, service-friendly unit for hobbyists focused on repeatable performance.

Highlighted Features of the Unit

  • Lightweight Design: The pulley and case were revised to remove about 1.5g, helping reduce rotating mass and aid steering response.
  • Enhanced Oil-Tightness: Sealing improvements limit oil loss and preserve the selected diff setting for longer sessions.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for TRF420, TRF419, and TA07 chassis, giving flexibility across multiple models.

Practical Advice for Installing on TRF419 and TA07

When fitting to TRF419 or TA07, use shims to correct bearing position and avoid excessive preload. The recommended part is the Tamiya RC 10mm Shim Set (Item 53588) to achieve a proper fit.

As with all my previous purchases from you superb service and delivery time. Order well packaged and as described. Definitely a supplier at the top of my list when rc products are needed. Thank you.
Yes, it serves as a direct replacement on TRF420 and provides improved sealing and a minor weight reduction without altering chassis geometry.
Service intervals depend on use, but checking seals and oil between race days and cleaning any debris will help maintain consistent performance.
Yes, it accepts standard diff oils. Choose viscosity to match track conditions and driving style, and refill carefully to avoid air pockets.
While small, the reduction in rotating weight can slightly improve transient response and steering feel, especially on sensitive setups.
No specialised equipment is required beyond normal RC tools. Have shim sets and a clean bench ready to ensure correct bearing spacing.
