Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition 1/10 4WD High Performance Chassis Kit  [42138]

Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition - Refined Race Chassis

The Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition continues Tamiya's legacy in competitive touring car design. This 1/10 scale 4WD chassis kit is engineered to deliver repeatable lap times and stable handling for club and national level racing.

Chassis Upgrades Focused on Balance

Keeping the proven carbon lower deck thickness, the updated battery location helps centralise mass for improved cornering. The bonded carbon upper deck and rear upper brace work together to tune flex and feedback so drivers can refine handling with setup changes.

The redesigned motor mount gives a solid base for high-performance motors to maintain drive traction and control. A large urethane bumper reduces the gap between body and chassis for added protection; if fitting to smaller bodies you can trim the bumper to suit.

Drivetrain and Suspension Highlights

New front and rear drive belts improve power transfer and make the drivetrain feel smoother under load. Short reversible suspension arms and reversed mount options increase setup flexibility for different track surfaces. Teflon sealed ball bearings lower friction, while dampers with generous lubrication help the car soak bumps without losing composure.

The Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition is aimed at experienced RC racers who want a tunable platform that responds well to setup changes and demanding track conditions.
