Tamiya 49225 - 1/10 R/C TRF414M CHASSIS KIT / Limited Rel  [49225]

About 1/10 Electric Powered R/C TRF414 Chassis Kit/Limited Launch Item

Dedicated to triumph in touring vehicle race, the Tamiya Racing Factory (TRF) experimentally released final summer Tamiya's first pure racing framework, the prototype TRF414X (restricted to the U.S. as a test project). It featured a mid-ship motor, gear drive 4WD, carbon graphite double-deck framework, double wishbone suspension system, and a variety of other race-oriented elements. Because the TRF414X ended up being unlike just about any past Tamiya chassis, different slight alterations towards the framework geometry had to be made. The TRF414X was tested and re-tested at every phase of development, fundamentally causing impressive battle results in both Japan therefore the Usa. Using performance information and observation among these races, TRF further honed this currently superb chassis. Now, Tamiya is proud to present its best pure race chassis currently, the TRF414. Some associated with main improvements over the TRF414X include: modified suspension system geometry for reduced center of gravity; resin suspension system arms, uprights, and knuckle hands for weight cost savings (formerly aluminum); resin parts made from more durable product; front side and center double one-way drive for lots more efficient cornering; newly designed anodized environment wheel; TRF logo design and serial quantity plate for limited launch certification; kit also incorporates 1g of advanced anti-wear grease. The TRF414 framework kit promises a bright new millennium of touring car victories for Tamiya and also the TRF.

After many months of experimentation on TRF414 framework kit and a large quantity of race participation, the TRF designers are proud to bring down an improved form of the framework, the TRF414M framework kit. The improvements focused mainly on heightening the effectiveness regarding the drive train and increasing the cornering rate. The TRF414M Chassis Kit will offer competitive RC racers precisely what they need to win on today's track.

Specs:

• Wheelbase: 260mm (variable), general width: 189mm (varies in accordance with wheels used), framework fat: 780g.
