Tamiya TRF415
#168
What do people think about the three top deck design on the TRF 415? There is a front and rear mini deck and then the large center deck. What do you suppose is the purpose behind this design? Is it to reduce tweak, stiffen or soften the chassis, lower the CG etc?

Just by looking at the pics, it looks like the three deck design allows for easier spur removal and reduces chassis twisting that is common for twin deck chassis.
If what I see is correct removing the spur will just mean removing the layshaft and the spur will fall out.

I really wish I could go to Bangkok for the Reedy Race
By the way, looking at the picture, the front and rear belts are adjustable. Niceee....
I might change my ride....
and be in the same Tamiya Team. I'm kind of tired being the only driver running for LosiA.W

Yes, better use that countersink washer for the top deck for tweak adjustment.
Looks like the belt tension can be adjusted from pulley placement in bulkhead.. and nice center antenna placement..
Looks like tamiya is now listening to their driver

I don't like the 3 deck architecture, might be a hassle to access the diffs. Plus I don't see any interest except for the look. The top deck could do what the bottom deck does and the center of gavity would not be changed that much.
