Tamiya 42240 TRF417wx first details

Tamiya has announced a new TRF417 based on the 2012 IFMAR 1/10 Electric world championship winning car driven by Jilles Groskamp.

Tamiya 42240 TRF417wx Specs

Features include

• One piece servo mount - Mounted on the inside only the floating servo mount to allows the chassis to flex more easily
• Aeration Dampers - Similar to the ones used on the TRF501x and other TRF buggies. These new shocks will allow more accurate set up for negative rebound.
• New lower Deck - New deck with minimal cut outs, provides controlled flex for more rigidity and better roll balance.
