A Closer Look at the Tamiya 42311 TRF419X WS Chassis Kit
The Tamiya 42311 TRF419X WS Chassis Kit represents the pinnacle of on-road RC performance, designed for both local and official Tamiya TCS races. This edition enhances the already formidable TRF419X platform with upgraded upper and lower deck components, optimizing its handling on high-grip surfaces like carpet tracks. The inclusion of a new 2mm aluminum chassis alongside the original carbon fiber decks allows racers to tailor the setup according to track conditions, offering unprecedented versatility.
Innovative Engineering for Competitive Edge
The TRF419X WS introduces several key design improvements that make it stand out in the competitive touring car segment. Notably, the front and rear shock towers are positioned lower than previous models, effectively reducing the center of gravity. This design choice is particularly advantageous for those who prefer using Tamiya's low-nose sports car body sets, enhancing aerodynamics and stability.
Another significant enhancement is the modular bulkhead design, which includes detachable inner camber link mounts. This feature allows precise adjustments to camber linkage length, providing greater control over wheel alignment without being restricted by pre-set mounting holes. Additionally, the sway bar mounts now incorporate stabilizer stoppers for improved handling stability.
Advanced Chassis Flexibility
The TRF419X WS's chassis flexibility is further enhanced by the innovative two-screw attachment system for the carbon fiber shock towers, allowing more flex compared to previous four-screw designs. This flexibility can be crucial in adapting to various track conditions, ensuring optimal performance.
