The Tamiya 42289 - 1/10 RC TRF102 Chassis Kit is made for serious 2WD formula racers who prioritise fine control and predictable behaviour. Its T-bar-type rear suspension separates roll and pitch responses so tyres maintain contact over changing surfaces, making it a practical choice for demanding race days such as club events and the Tamiya Grand Prix.
The TRF102 uses a 2.0mm carbon upper deck and a 2.5mm carbon lower deck to deliver a tuned mix of stiffness and controlled flex. These decks work with a floating traction battery mount to centralise mass and improve balance, helping the car settle quickly into corners and recover over bumps.
The T-bar-style rear suspension gives independent roll and pitch control, while a low roll point increases roll moment for sharper cornering. A self-contained pitching shaft smooths transitions across surface irregularities. The aluminium servo mount and carbon steel bridge form a rigid but lightweight steering assembly for accurate response.
Compared with the earlier TRF101, the TRF102 offers larger mechanical mounting space for flexible electronics placement and setup changes. The adjustable aluminium motor mount lets racers tweak the drive layout and rear wing position to fine-tune aerodynamics and traction.
The Tamiya 42289 - 1/10 RC TRF102 Chassis Kit suits advanced hobbyists and competitive drivers who want a chassis that responds to setup changes and rewards careful tuning.
