Tamiya 42277 - 1/10 TRF201XM Mid-Motor Race Chassis Kit  [42277]

TRF201XM Mid-Motor Race Platform

The Tamiya 42277 - 1/10 RC TRF201XM Chassis Kit continues Tamiya's tradition of race-proven design. Originating from the TRF201 used by Lee Martin at the 2013 IFMAR 2WD Off-road World Championships, this version converts the platform into a mid-motor layout to improve balance and track versatility.

Mid-Motor Layout and Aluminum Deck

The mid-motor arrangement shifts mass toward the center of the car to enhance traction and balance across varied off-road surfaces. An aluminum chassis deck and a revised gear case let you run optimized drive shaft angles for more predictable handling at speed.

Suspension Tuning and Precision

A fully independent double wishbone setup combined with aeration oil dampers gives smooth, controllable damping and accurate feedback. The kit allows extensive adjustments to camber, toe and shock angle so you can tune the handling to your local track conditions.

Kit Build and Component Choices

This is an assembly kit that requires your choice of motor, tires and electronics, making it a hands-on project for experienced builders. A Pro-Line Phantom body is included for a clean look, and the layout supports either ball or gear differentials depending on your preference.

The Tamiya TRF201XM kit is aimed at experienced racers who want a tunable, mid-motor platform. Its adjustability and race heritage make it a strong base for competitive 2WD off-road setups.
