Race-Ready Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition Chassis

The Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition is a 1/10 scale 4WD chassis engineered for drivers focused on lap time consistency. The design blends rigid materials and tunable layout options to suit competitive environments.

Structural Changes for Tighter Handling

The carbon lower deck keeps its sturdy profile while the shifted battery position helps with weight centralisation and sharper turn-in. The integrated carbon upper deck and rear brace change flex patterns so the car responds more predictably to setup tweaks.

A firmer motor mount supports high-rev motors to retain efficient power delivery. The larger urethane bumper is intended to protect the chassis and body interface, and can be trimmed to match smaller shells.

Enhanced Control Elements

Replacement front and rear drive belts smooth power flow and increase drivetrain efficiency. Short reversible arms and inverted mount options expand tuning choices for different track surfaces. Teflon sealed ball bearings reduce rolling resistance while dampers filled with higher lubrication control compression and rebound.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Chassis Type: TRF416
  • Material: Carbon Fiber Decks
  • Suspension: Short Reversible Arms
  • Bearing Type: Teflon Sealed Ball Bearings

With its focus on adjustability and durable components, the Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition is suited to racers who refine their car for specific tracks and conditions.

Start with the stock setup, then soften rear damping and reduce rear toe to gain rotation; small incremental changes yield clear differences.
Standard hex drivers and precision screwdrivers are sufficient, plus a torque feel to avoid over-tightening fasteners on carbon parts.
Regularly check belt tension and pulleys, clean bearings, and inspect mounts for wear to maintain smooth power transmission.
Yes, the reversible arms and mount positions let you alter roll characteristics and camber response to suit varying tyre compounds and profiles.
