Track-Tuned Precision from the TRF417 V5

For those who are passionate about RC racing, the Tamiya 42240 - TRF417 V5 Premium 1/10 RC Chassis Kit offers an outstanding platform to hone your skills. As part of Tamiya's TRF series, this 1/10 scale kit is engineered for competitors who want consistent handling and precise setup on asphalt tracks.

Race-Proven Roots

Drawing on Tamiya's IFMAR ISTC success, the TRF417 V5 carries design choices proven in competition. The layout emphasises adjustability so you can fine-tune balance and grip for different track surfaces and conditions.

Carbon Chassis and Tuned Dampers

New carbon fibre decks are designed for controlled roll and predictable flex. The one-piece aluminium servo mount adds a stable reference point without killing tuned chassis compliance. Aeration dampers and revised damper stays help maintain traction through direction changes.

Reliable Drivetrain for Consistent Power

Steel cup joints and double-cardan drive shafts deliver smooth torque transfer to the wheels. The rear gear differential combined with swing shaft protectors improves durability under heavy use and frequent servicing.

The Tamiya TRF417 V5 is aimed at advanced racers seeking a controllable, tuneable platform. With pro-grade parts and setup range, it is well suited to competitive on-road driving.

Assembly requires patience and basic modelling skills; expect a few hours and refer to the manual for gearbox, belt routing and suspension setup steps.
Choose a compact brushless motor and a responsive ESC with good low-end control, a high-torque steering servo and a reliable 2.4GHz radio system for precise inputs.
Inspect belts, bearings and the differential after every few race sessions and replace worn parts; regular cleaning and lubrication keeps performance consistent.
Yes, tyre compound and profile have a major impact. Match tyres to the track surface and temperature and tune camber and toe to get the best contact patch.
