Track-ready TRF102 chassis for competitive drivers

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.

Carbon construction tuned for balance and flex

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.

Suspension and steering designed for precise input

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.

More room for electronics and setup choices

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.

Specifications

  • Drive Type: 2WD

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.

The TRF102 offers many setup options, so expect a moderate to advanced learning curve. Start with basic shock and toe settings, then adjust T-bar and motor mount positions as you gain track time.
Medium compound touring or formula tyres are a good starting point for asphalt. Adjust camber and toe to match grip levels, and use the chassis flex from the carbon decks to tune traction.
Yes, the TRF102 supports typical 540-size motors and modern ESCs, but check mounting dimensions and battery placement to keep weight distribution balanced.
Regularly inspect carbon decks for cracks, verify ball studs and pivot points are tight, check the T-bar linkage for wear, and confirm the battery floating mount remains secure for consistent handling.
