Tamiya 58243 - TA03R-S TRF Special Edition Touring Chassis  [58243]

TA03R-S TRF Special Edition Overview

For serious RC racers, the Tamiya 58243 - 1/10 TA03R-S TRF Special Chassis Kit provides a competition-minded base for setup work. The midship motor position improves central balance and the TRF parts list adds race-oriented adjustment options to the TA03 lineage.

Rigid Carbon Fibre Double Deck

The chassis pairs a 2.5mm carbon main deck with a 2mm upper deck and uses perforated panels to trim weight while keeping torsional stiffness. Its belt-driven 4WD transmission and independent double wishbone suspension deliver predictable handling and refined feedback at speed.

Low Drag Components and Tunable Suspension

Included full ball bearings and Super Low Friction Dampers lower mechanical losses and sharpen suspension movement. Universal shafts and lightweight aluminium option parts reduce rotating mass and improve reliability. Fine adjustment of toe and suspension geometry helps tailor grip and turn-in behaviour.

Body Choices and Powertrain Recommendations

The chassis accepts standard 1/10 touring bodies such as the Taisan Starcard Porsche 911GT2 or Porsche 911GT1, letting drivers pick aerodynamic and cosmetic options. The chassis is commonly paired with RS540 class motors and a matched ESC to suit racing conditions.

The Tamiya 58243 - TA03R-S TRF Special Chassis Kit suits advanced hobbyists seeking a responsive, tunable 1/10 platform built from high-quality materials and race-focused components.
