Overview of the Tamiya 42285 TRF419 Chassis

The Tamiya 42285 TRF419 Chassis Kit is engineered for competitive touring car performance. Developed with lessons from the IFMAR 1/10 Electric Touring Car World Championship in Florida, it brings practical refinements for serious drivers.

Engineering Highlights

The TRF419 includes redesigned core components such as the chassis plate, bulkhead, motor mount, damper assemblies and gear differential. These updates aim to stabilise handling, improve tyre contact and tighten steering feedback on demanding tracks.

Performance and Setup Balance

Rather than raw power alone, the TRF419 focuses on a balanced approach to speed and control. Adjustments to motor placement and bulkhead structure assist weight distribution, while the upgraded shocks help maintain composure through corners.

Platform for Tuning and Racing

Racers who enjoy setup work will find the TRF419 flexible and responsive. Its modular format makes it easy to test adjustments and fit upgrades as conditions or driving style evolve.
