Snapshot of the Tamiya 42167 - TRF201

The Tamiya 42167 - TRF201 Chassis Kit represents a concentrated effort to refine race performance in a 1/10 2WD format. Developed over a two year period, the design focuses on reliability and precise handling to help drivers extract consistent lap times.

Gearbox and Differential Highlights

The platform features a sealed gearbox with a ball differential that uses inch-size diff balls alongside updated thrust bearings for smoother operation and longer service intervals. The new diff carrier tooth profile enhances durability in demanding conditions.

Front-End Setup Features

The front suspension uses aeration dampers paired with revised coil springs to deliver repeatable suspension travel. Front axles can accept metric bearings, while inch bearing users can adapt with Item 54220 where necessary.

Aero Body and Wing Flexibility

The body profile is engineered to support stability and steering precision. Two wing choices let drivers tailor aerodynamic balance to suit different circuits and grip levels.

Chassis Construction and Weight Distribution

Manufactured from fiberglass-reinforced nylon resin, the chassis provides a durable yet lightweight base. Longitudinal battery placement and a fine-tuned rear section help lower the center of gravity and improve roll behaviour.

The TRF201 makes a solid choice for racers seeking a durable, setup-friendly buggy that responds well to fine tuning.
