Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition 1/10 4WD Touring Chassis Kit  [42138]

Reworked Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition for Track Tuning

The Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition is a 1/10 scale 4WD chassis built with competitive touring in mind. Its layout and materials are chosen to help experienced drivers extract consistent lap times through precise setup adjustments.

Updates That Improve Handling Precision

The lower carbon deck retains its thickness while a new battery position helps centralise weight for improved turn-in. The joined carbon upper deck and rear brace alter flex characteristics so the car gives clearer feedback when pushed hard.

A revised motor mount secures higher output motors to maintain drive under acceleration. The oversized urethane bumper closes the gap between body and chassis for better protection, and can be reduced in size for compact shells.

Key Drive and Suspension Features

Upgraded front and rear belts deliver smoother torque flow across the drivetrain. Short reversible suspension arms with reversed mounts let you experiment with geometry to suit low or high traction tracks. Teflon sealed ball bearings minimise drag and well-lubricated dampers help control body movement.

For racers who enjoy setup work, the Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition provides a flexible platform that reacts predictably to changes in geometry and weight distribution.
