Optimising Lap Time with the Tamiya 42200 TRF417

The Tamiya 42200 TRF417 is a precision 1/10 touring car chassis aimed at racers who tune aggressively. The inclusion of Gear Differential Unit II supports smoother traction control and predictable handling on the circuit.

Balanced Power Delivery and Setup

A 4WD dual belt drive lies at the centre of the TRF417, ensuring balanced torque to each corner. The chassis features a fully adjustable suspension layout so drivers can tweak camber, toe and roll centre for local track conditions. Carbon reinforced plastic sections and aluminium components keep the structure light yet stiff.

Competition Proven Differential and Battery Fit

The Gear Differential Unit II has competition pedigree and helps with consistent acceleration out of corners. The chassis accepts both LiPo and LiFe hard case battery packs, letting pilots choose the battery chemistry that suits their setup.

For serious hobbyists and club competitors the Tamiya 42200 TRF417 provides a flexible, competition-ready base that responds well to setup changes.

What setup changes make the biggest handling difference?

Adjusting camber, anti-squat and shock angles typically yields the largest handling gains; make one change at a time and log results to refine your tune.

Is the kit ready to run out of the box?

The kit includes the chassis and Gear Differential Unit II but excludes radio gear, motor, body, wheels, tyres and battery, so additional parts are required before running.

How often should I service the differential?

Inspect and service the differential after several race days or if you notice inconsistent throttle feel; keep gears clean and lightly greased where appropriate.

Can I fit aftermarket shock absorbers?

Yes, many aftermarket shocks for 1/10 touring cars are compatible, but verify length and mounting geometry to preserve the intended suspension travel.
