The Tamiya 42200 TRF417 Chassis Kit is a testament to precision engineering and competitive racing pedigree. Designed for serious RC enthusiasts, this 1/10 scale touring car chassis is equipped with the latest advancements from Tamiya's Racing Factory (TRF). With its inclusion of the Gear Differential Unit II, this model promises enhanced performance and handling on the track.

Performance-Driven Design

At the heart of the TRF417 is a 4WD dual belt drive system that ensures efficient power distribution to all four wheels. This setup, coupled with a fully adjustable suspension system, allows racers to fine-tune their vehicle for optimal performance under various track conditions. The use of carbon-reinforced plastic parts and aluminum components not only reduces weight but also enhances durability and rigidity, crucial for maintaining stability at high speeds.

Advanced Features for Competitive Edge

One of the standout features of the TRF417 is its Gear Differential Unit II, which was tested and proven during the 2011 Thailand International R/C Touring Car Championship. This component provides smoother power delivery and improved traction, giving drivers a significant edge in competitive settings. Additionally, the chassis accommodates both LiPo and LiFe hard case battery packs, offering flexibility for different power setups.
