All Japan Model & Hobby Show – Tamiya TRF420

During this week’s All Japan Model & Hobby Show in Tokyo, Japan, Tamiya are displaying their forthcoming all-new TRF420 4WD touring car chassis. It is the first public appearance of the car that will feature a host of improvements compared to the previous TRF cars such as fully adjustable aluminium suspension mounts with composite inserts, new front steering knuckles and C-hubs as well as redesigned lower suspension arms, front spool and rear diff. The car utilises a traditional rear motor design with no word yet on a possible – now en vogue – mid motor variant. Full details will become available in time for the official release which will be in December.
