TRF417X Chassis Kit
Model Number: 42205

This is the latest spec TRF 417 machine.

The main enhancements incorporate subtle revisions.

A newly-designed lower deck offers improved chassis flexibility for better low-speed traction.

The previous one-piece motor mount has been replaced with a three-piece type to allow further adjustment of chassis' flexibility by linking them together.

The thickness of the front and rear damper stays have been increased to 3.5mm and other new developments include a new upper deck, metal battery holders which serve as counterweights, and low-height kingpins.

Front direct coupling and rear gear diff unit (Item 42197 TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II) are included in this latest spec version.

New piece: Three-piece motor mount allows adjustment of chassis rigidity and new positions of motor attachment holes enable a wider choice of gear ratios to better suit your track or racing class.



Damper stays have damper attachment slots to allow fine setting adjustment. Increased thickness of 3.5mm offers improved damper attachment rigidity for greater damper effectiveness.



The upper and lower deck have been reshaped to achieve improved flexibility. These are interchangeable with the original TRF417 upper and lower decks to adjust chassis roll characteristics.
