42285 1/10 R/C TRF419 Chassis Kit
Availability: December

• Inherits the TRF418 suspension parts design, which has proven to be the new standard in Tamiya high-end R/C racing machines.
• Aside from the suspension parts, the rest of the chassis has largely been overhauled, including a new layout.
• Features newly-designed bulkheads, motor mount, dampers and gear differential unit.

Bleepity bleep. You've got to be kidding me!

In other words they redesigned the parts that don't break to bring them in line with the high end breaking standard?

Impossible, shouldn't there be a TRF418X or WCE or whatever before there is a 419 ?

Not with a new layout...

If they changed the bulkheads, which apparently they did, then it's a 419. At least I believe that's typically how it goes. Certainly is interesting news. Gonna make it harder to sell my 418.

My son drives faster with our 417v5 than our 418.

Wonder if a new version is always better?

Oh! Wow! It's a 2 belts car with the motor on left side.

I think I found my first TRF kit, super excited

Vehicle that has been developed aimed at four consecutive tournament will be held in the United States Florida in 2014 in the “IFMAR1 / 10 Electric Touring Car World Championship” is this TRF419. Significant changes have been made ​​to the central parts that affect the traveling “chassis layout,” “bulkhead”, “motor mount”, “damper” and “Giyadefu” in the new design almost part of the underbody other than, and high dimension unprecedented I realize the run.

My limited English skills are not sufficient to understand the last two sentences in that paragraph.

Neither are there's.

Those sections do not make sense to anyone who does speak English as their first language!

It's a bit of bad translation

OK.

Sorry for the OT, but a little while back I was visiting Sanwa's website to look at the MT-4s and was compelled to buy by the following fine description of the MT-4s:

Entry for the race seriously
Feeling a new driving which collaboration
with peripheral devices produces
And more than anything, more enjoyable world
Attraction of MT-4S to add evolushon & scalability
to MT-4 of deep R/C

They are selling some of the top high end gear in the RC world, and they do not have the resources to facilitate an understandable translation ??

you gotta think how much faster can the car turn with the same tires? At what point do you figure out that they are just recycling the same ideas over and over?
