Tamiya 58243 - TA03R-S TRF Precision Touring Chassis Kit  [58243]

Balanced Midmotor Racing Chassis Overview

For dedicated RC enthusiasts, the Tamiya 58243 - 1/10 TA03R-S TRF Special Chassis Kit stands out as a refined option for serious setup work. This TA03 series variant uses a midship motor layout to improve weight distribution and handling, and the TRF special parts list adds 28 option components aimed at competition tuning.

Lightweight Double-Deck Carbon Construction

The TA03R-S TRF chassis features a stiff yet light double-deck carbon layout, combining a 2.5mm main deck with a 2mm upper deck and perforated panels to cut weight. The belt-driven 4WD transmission alongside independent double wishbone suspension delivers consistent feedback and controllable responses on varied track surfaces.

Track-Focused Performance Features

Included in the kit are full ball bearings and Super Low Friction Dampers to reduce drivetrain drag and improve suspension action. Universal shafts and anodised aluminium option parts lower rotating mass while increasing durability. Adjustable suspension geometry, including tunable toe settings, allows precise corner entry and exit adjustments.

Body Fitment and Recommended Electronics

The chassis accepts standard 1/10 touring car shells such as the Taisan Starcard Porsche 911GT2 or Porsche 911GT1, enabling visual and aerodynamic choices. The chassis is sized for RS540 class motors and aftermarket speed controllers to match individual gearing and power preferences.

The Tamiya 58243 - TA03R-S TRF Special Chassis Kit is aimed at advanced hobbyists who want a precise, tunable touring platform that responds well to setup changes and track demands.
