Let’s be honest: In the world of RC touring cars, “old” usually means “slow.” But every once in a while, a chassis comes along that refuses to fade into obscurity. Enter the Tamiya TRF416.
Released in the late 2000s, this beast sits right in the sweet spot between the nostalgic TRF414 and the modern TRF420. But here’s the kicker: it was Tamiya’s first real attempt to beat the European brands (Xray, Corally) at their own game.
Run it. Smile at the whine of the straight-cut gears. And when someone asks why your “old” car is so fast, just point to the chassis and say, “Because real cars use belts.”
Have you owned a TRF416? Did you love it or hate the suspension geometry?
