This R/C model assembly kit creates the 2 belt-driven 4WD TRF420X, the latest double-deck model in the line of TRF chassis; this chassis makes optimum use of its flex to offer great traction and superior drivability. Changing screw positions fixed to the upper deck allows adjustment of chassis rigidity. Without changing the motor position from the TRF420, the drivetrain features the spur gear positioned forward of the motor to limit pitching when on the throttle. R/C equipment is installed on the floating R/C deck. Choose from 2.25mm carbon fiber or 2mm aluminum lower decks depending on running surface. The trustworthy suspension from the TRF420 is joined by dedicated bulkheads for precise assembly and various kinds of setup, plus new lightweight 43mm rear drive shafts.

Featured Components
●Choice of 2.25mm carbon fiber and 2mm aluminum lower decks included ●2mm carbon fiber upper deck ●Front/rear carbon fiber damper stays (3mm) ●Carbon fiber bumper supports (2mm) ●Aluminum lower bulkheads ●Aluminum upper bulkheads ●Left/right aluminum motor mounts ●Aluminum servo mount ●Aluminum steering bridge ●Front direct coupling ●Rear gear differential ●TRF super short big bore dampers ●Front/rear stabilizers ●43mm lightweight rear drive shafts ●Rubber-sealed ball bearings


★Dedicated front and rear belts are used, for precision assembly and greater potential to fine-tune your car.


★Suspension arms, uprights and more use designs inherited from the TRF420, and allow use of active suspension.


★3mm carbon fiber damper stays feature an updated shape allowing flex that the TRF420X translates into grip.


★TRF super short big bore dampers come as standard. Suspension arm bushings are separate parts.


★43mm drive shafts employed on the rear of the chassis are a lightweight design.


★Bushings are used to attach suspension shafts; use different parts to fine-tune tread, roll center, etc.


★When other, separately sold parts are used, suspension arm bushings give 3 damper/lever ratio options.


★The floating R/C equipment deck ensures that the chassis' flex is fully realized.


★The TRF420 motor position is maintained, with the spur gear moved centrally for less pitch on the throttle.


★Altering upper deck screw positions between the six possible layouts lets you really customize the chassis.

★A choice of two lower decks is included: 2.25mm carbon fiber (use on asphalt) or 2mm aluminum (on carpet).

★Aluminum battery holders keep the battery still while further facilitating flex.

From Tamiya USA

Tamiya’s R/C designers never rest. They are constantly looking to bring our most hardcore racing fans the very best features that are able to be squeezed into a touring car chassis! Say hello to the TRF420X. The highest end touring car chassis we make, just got better!
  • 1/10 scale R/C chassis assembly kit.
  • The drivetrain features the spur gear positioned toward the chassis center for stable drivability. (The motor position is not changed from the TRF420.) Front and rear drive belts are based on the TA08 PRO chassis kit (Item 58693).
  • Choose from two types of lower deck (carbon fiber and aluminum).
  • Changing screw positions fixing the upper deck allows adjustment of chassis rigidity (at least 6 different setups).
  • Features the trustworthy 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension from the TRF420, and high- precision, durable sealed ball bearings of the TRF series as kit-standard.
  • Includes new-size 43mm rear drive shafts for different setups in conjunction with suspension mount, new front and rear bulkheads for precise assembly and various kinds of setup, and urethane bumpers.
  • Damper stays are designed to allow some flex, for high traction and a boost to drivability.
  • The floating R/C deck helps facilitate chassis flex, and ensures efficient maintenance.
  • The quick-plate type battery pack does not require tape for attachment. Depending on the battery pack equipped, change positions of spacers and posts.
  • Comes with a carrying case dedicated for the TRF420X chassis.
  • Requires: 2-channel radio, low profile servo, ESC, 7.2-7.4volt racing battery pack, motor, 190mm touring car body, and tires.
