Tamiya TRF 416
December 30, 2007
The long awaited Tamiya TRF 416 chassis was assembled during christmas and the end result is impressive.
- long upper chassis for better flex characteristics, mounted with 8 screws to front and rear bulkheads, less prone to tweak the chassis.
- uprights with 5 x 10 bearings for better precision and more reliability.
- more reliable and externally adjustable diff.
- new steering system geometry. The compleate steering assembly can easily be slided out from chassis for easy adjustment of ackerman.
- symetrical chassis for better flex characteristics.
- improved and more efficient transmission.
The only problems was that the inner suspension arm hinge pins have some slop and need to be ca glued and the central post need to be shimmed to the motor mount for good alignment.
