Introducing the Tamiya 42285 TRF419 Chassis

The Tamiya 42285 TRF419 Chassis Kit showcases precise engineering aimed at serious track work. Developed with insights from the IFMAR 1/10 Electric Touring Car World Championship in Florida, this kit brings careful refinements that appeal to experienced RC drivers and racers.

Race-Proven Engineering Details

Core areas of the TRF419 have been updated to improve on-track behaviour. Changes to the chassis layout, bulkhead, motor mount, damper assembly, and gear differential were all made to increase stability, boost traction, and sharpen steering response for close racing.

Balance and Handling Focus

The TRF419 improvements are focused on blending speed with control. The revised motor mount and bulkhead help with mass distribution, while the updated damper arrangement smooths suspension action for better cornering consistency and predictable lap times.

For Dedicated Club Racers

Whether you race regularly or tune cars as a hobby, the TRF419 provides an adaptable base. Its modular parts and adjustable geometry make it straightforward to tweak setups and fit performance upgrades as demands change.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Type: Electric Powered Touring Car
  • Chassis: TRF419
  • Drive: 4WD
  • Suspension: Fully Independent Double Wishbone

The Tamiya 42285 TRF419 Chassis Kit is aimed at hobbyists and racers who prioritise setup control and consistency. Its adjustable layout makes it a solid platform for refining handling and chasing quicker lap times.

The TRF419 is performance oriented, but a motivated beginner can learn setup basics on this chassis and grow into more advanced tuning as skills develop.
Use a 13.5 to 10.5 turn brushless motor and a quality 60A plus speed controller for reliable power; choose a compact servo with good torque for precise steering.
Begin with ride height and spring rates, then dial damper oil and camber. Small, incremental changes and test laps will show what improves corner grip.
Regularly clean bearings and gears, check differential fluid, and inspect shock seals. Preventative checks after every few outings reduce wear and maintain handling.
