Tamiya 42289 TRF102 1/10 Formula Chassis for Setup Enthusiasts  [42289]

Racer-focused TRF102 chassis for setup control

The Tamiya 42289 - 1/10 RC TRF102 Chassis Kit targets racers who want fine control over 2WD formula handling. Its T-bar-type rear suspension separates roll from pitch so the tyres stay better planted on uneven surfaces, a key advantage during competitive meetings and club races like the Tamiya Grand Prix.

Dual carbon decks for tuned stiffness

The TRF102 features a 2.0mm upper carbon deck and a 2.5mm lower carbon deck to achieve a controlled flex pattern that improves traction consistency. The floating traction battery mount helps keep the weight centred to enhance balance through corner entries and exits.

Deliberate steering and rear linkage design

With the independent T-bar rear suspension, roll and pitch react separately for clearer feedback to the driver. A low roll point raises roll moment for sharper turn-in, and the enclosed pitching shaft smooths rough patches. The aluminium servo mount and carbon steel bridge provide a solid steering base.

More installation space for modern setups

Compared with the TRF101, the TRF102 offers more mechanical mounting room, making it easier to fit choice electronics and to experiment with battery and motor positions. The adjustable aluminium motor mount adds another tuning axis for drivetrain and aero balance.

The Tamiya 42289 - 1/10 RC TRF102 Chassis Kit is best for experienced hobbyists and racers who want a chassis that responds to detailed setup work and rewards precise tuning.
