Driveline Layout and Efficiency

The TRF801Xt uses front and rear propeller shafts arranged to keep the driveline nearly straight, cutting power loss for better throttle response. Its 3mm A7075 hard anodized Duralumin chassis and precision-machined aluminum parts give the car a solid structural base for hard use.

Race-Oriented Component Set

Key features include carbon fibre servo plates, sealed radio enclosures, and full ball bearings for consistent operation. The suspension uses lock nut captured hinge pins and universal drive shafts to maintain alignment, while high-volume shocks and a low-profile polycarbonate shell help control handling at speed.

For experienced drivers looking to refine setup and lap times, the Tamiya 49497 RC GP TRF801Xt provides a dependable, adjustable truggy base that responds well to tuning and upgrades.
