Rugged Mid-Motor TRF201XM Platform

The Tamiya 42277 - 1/10 RC TRF201XM Chassis Kit brings a race-oriented mid-motor layout to the TRF201 heritage. Traced back to the TRF201 campaigned by Lee Martin at the 2013 IFMAR 2WD Off-road World Championships, this conversion focuses on balanced handling and robust aluminium construction.

Chassis Layout for Better Traction

Centralising the motor improves overall balance and rear traction on rough trails and ruts. The aluminium chassis deck and updated gear case let you run efficient drive shaft angles and maintain consistent performance during cornering.

Control and Setup Options

The independent double wishbone suspension combined with aeration oil dampers delivers dependable damping and precise control. A broad range of adjustments for camber, toe and shock angle helps tailor handling to aggressive off-road driving.

Assembly Details and Compatibility

This is a kit that requires the buyer to supply motor, tyres and electronics, appealing to builders who prefer hands-on setup work. The package includes a Pro-Line Phantom body and supports both ball and gear differential setups to match different driving preferences.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10 scale
  • Drive-train: 2WD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone
  • Chassis Material: Aluminium
  • Shock Damper: Oil-filled aluminium
  • Bearings: Shielded ball bearing
  • Motor: Not included

The TRF201XM is designed for racers who want a durable, tunable mid-motor platform. Its aluminium deck and adjustable geometry make it suitable for demanding off-road conditions.

Basic RC tools plus a precision screwdriver set, hobby knife and soldering iron are recommended. A threadlocker and proper setup shims will help with final tuning.
Begin with a medium-weight oil and adjust from there based on track speed and bumpiness. Lighter oil for faster rebound, heavier for firmer control.
This kit is purpose-built as a mid-motor conversion, so reverting would require substantial changes. It is best used in the configuration as supplied.
Choose a medium compound with an open tread pattern for mixed hardpack and loam. Swap to softer compounds for loose or wet surfaces to retain grip.
