Tamiya TRF 419XR first details

Here are the first details regarding the TRF419XR released from Tamiya. It looks like we called it pretty much on the money yesterday (maybe they were looking at some of our TRF cars as we have fitted central braces and bearing mounted sway bar mounts :) anyway here are the new features from Tamiya:

Key updates:

• New front and rear stabilisers are secured with ball bearings for precise, repeatable setup changes
• Super short big bore dampers and damper stays are included. Also in the box are dedicated damper stays for separately sold TRF dampers
• A new centre pitch stiffener allows adjustment of pitch rigidity. A choice of carbon fibre part or turnbuckle is contained
• The 45g LF battery ballast weight doubles as a battery holder
• More motor mount attachment points allow you to tweak lower deck rigidity to match the surface
• Centre shaft diameter has been changed from 4mm to 5mm, for easier assembly

There is also a conversion kit for us TRF419X owners :)

42317 TRF419XR Conversion Set

As for the conversion kit, the set will fit both the TRF419X and TRF419X WS and it will bring both to full XR specification.
