53HRA Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 In pursuit of Tamiya's 6th IFMAR World Championship title in the Touring Car class, the Tamiya Racing Factory designers have been hard at work. Their latest creation is the TRF419. The TRF419 is the successor to the TRF418, but it has been heavily tweaked and optimized to give Tamiya's top drivers the best chance in securing the 2014 World Title. TRF418 VS. TRF419 differences: - Aside from the suspension parts, the rest of the chassis features a whole range of updates and new parts. - Carbon fiber upper and lower decks have been redesigned for optimum chassis balance and to maximize the potential of the new drivetrain parts. - Oil-filled Dampers follow a new design, and combined with new carbon fiber stays will provide excellent traction on a range of track surface conditions. - The new aluminum motor mount ensures that the chassis' supreme flexibility is fed back more efficiently. The motor position is altered to optimize weight distribution. - Features newly-designed bulkheads, motor mount, dampers and gear differential unit. Newly Designed parts include: - Carbon Lower Deck - Carbon Upper Deck - Carbon Front/Rear Damper Stays - Aluminum Motor Mount - Aluminum F/R Lower Bulkheads - Aluminum F/R Upper Bulkheads - Steel Center Pulley Shaft - Aluminum Servo Mount - Front/Rear Drive Belts - Gear Differential Unit Front Direct Coupling - Dampers - Aluminum Suspension Mounts Source: Tamiyausa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
