Tamiya 49497 TRF801Xt 1/8 Nitro Truggy Tunable Kit  [49497]

TRF801Xt Platform Highlights

The Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt is a competition-focused 1/8 nitro truggy kit engineered for tunability and robust track performance. It is aimed at racers who want a chassis that responds predictably to setup changes.

Layout for Power Delivery

This model places front and rear propeller shafts in line to keep the driveline nearly straight, reducing losses and improving throttle feel. The package uses a 3mm A7075 hard anodized Duralumin chassis with precision aluminium components to withstand racing stresses.

Track-Focused Equipment

Design elements such as carbon fibre servo plates, sealed radio boxes and full ball bearings cut down on drivetrain friction. Suspension features include lock nut captured hinge pins and universal drive shafts for stable geometry, while large-volume shocks and a low-profile polycarbonate body help manage airflow and balance.

The Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt is suited to hobbyists who plan to invest time in setup and maintenance to extract consistent lap times and reliable handling.
