New from Tamiya America:
 
In pursuit of touring car racing perfection, 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 wins across the globe in major racing events. The TRF419 also brings the latest tweaks and enhancements to the demanding weekend racer as the new upgrades provide a chassis that is on the cutting edge of innovation while improving certain established key components.
 
 
 
TRF418 VS. TRF419 differences:
  • Inherits the new TRF418 suspension parts. 
  • 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.
