TRF416 Touring Platform from Tamiya

The Tamiya 42106 - 1/10 TRF416 Chassis Kit Limited Edition provides a stable starting point for serious touring car builds. Its construction emphasises predictable responses and efficient setup changes.

Simple Architecture for Effective Tuning

The design prioritises clear mounting points and symmetry so small setup adjustments have reliable results. The 2.25mm lower deck and the extended 2mm upper deck combine to control chassis flex and roll for consistent cornering behavior.

Strategic Rear Weighting

Repositioning the motor and centre shaft toward the rear increases rear traction and helps with throttle control on corner exit. This layout is useful for tracks that reward stable rear grip.

Balanced Drivetrain and Low-Friction Bearings

The drivetrain features a front one-way, centre direct-drive and rear ball diff to balance responsiveness with traction. 1050 bearings in the uprights reduce drag, and the 37T/37T/18T pulley arrangement keeps power delivery smooth.
