Refining Race Performance with the Tamiya 42200 TRF417

The Tamiya 42200 TRF417 chassis kit brings TRF engineering to the 1/10 on-road class, offering a race-ready platform for experienced hobbyists. Included Gear Differential Unit II and precision components support consistent lap times and detailed setup work.

Chassis Layout and Handling

The core of the TRF417 is a 4WD dual belt drive that delivers power evenly to all wheels. A fully adjustable suspension lets racers dial in camber, toe and roll center for specific track conditions. Carbon-reinforced plastic parts combined with aluminum components reduce mass while preserving stiffness for high speed stability.

Key Upgrades and Track-Proven Differential

The Gear Differential Unit II fitted to this kit was validated in high level competition and improves throttle response and traction under load. The chassis can house both LiPo and LiFe hard case battery packs, so you can match power delivery to your setup preferences.

What motor and ESC fit the TRF417 best?

Standard 1/10 touring car brushless motors and proportional ESCs fit the TRF417 using common motor mount patterns. Choose a motor that matches your track and gearing plan.

How long does it take to tune the chassis for a new track?

Initial setup can take a few hours including basic corner weights and shock settings, with incremental adjustments over several sessions to optimise handling.

What maintenance does the dual belt drive need?

Regularly check belt tension and alignment, inspect pulleys for wear, and keep bearings clean and greased to prevent slop and power loss.

Which surfaces are ideal for the TRF417?

The chassis is designed for prepared on-road surfaces such as asphalt or carpeted race tracks; tyre choice and suspension tune should match the surface for best lap times.
