Unveiling the Tamiya TRF102: A Chassis for the Dedicated Racer
The Tamiya 42289 - 1/10 RC TRF102 Chassis Kit is a formidable addition to any RC racer's collection. Designed specifically for 2WD formula racing, this kit boasts some of the most advanced features available in the market today. With its innovative T-bar-type rear suspension, the TRF102 allows for independent control of roll and pitch, delivering exceptional road surface adherence during races. This feature makes it a standout choice for competitive events like the Tamiya Grand Prix, where diverse road conditions challenge even the most experienced drivers.
Precision Engineering with Carbon Components
The TRF102 is constructed with precision in mind, featuring a 2.0mm thick carbon upper deck and a 2.5mm thick carbon lower deck. These components are engineered to maximize flexibility and bending, optimizing the car's performance by allowing for superior traction and stability. The floating mount system for the traction battery enhances the kit's balance, ensuring that each component works harmoniously to deliver peak performance.
Advanced Suspension and Steering Setup
One of the key highlights of the TRF102 is its advanced suspension system. The new T-bar-type rear suspension offers complete independence between pitch and roll, while the roll point ball is strategically positioned low to maximize roll moment. The pitching shaft is entirely self-contained, ensuring smooth transitions over surface irregularities. Additionally, the aluminum servo mount and carbon steel bridge provide a robust yet lightweight steering setup, further enhancing the vehicle's handling capabilities.
Enhanced Customization and Mechanical Space
The TRF102 chassis also provides expanded mechanical mounting space compared to its predecessor, the TRF101. This increased space allows for greater freedom in choosing and arranging electronic equipment, making it easier for racers to customize their setups according to personal preferences and race requirements. The adjustable motor mount even permits fine-tuning of the rear wing's position, adding another layer of customization to the kit.
