I just received my TRF419XR with aluminum chassis that I purchased from a forum member here. Wow, this thing is so light compared to my TB Evo.7. Quick question, how do I mount the ESC and receiver? With the holes in the chassis, the area for the servo tape is so small.

If you get good double sided tape, it will hold fine. I never had issues on my Xray flex chassis.

I stopped using double sided tape. I use E6000 glue instead. You can also use shoe goo or goop. Saves you for having debris picked up by exposed tape

Thanks for all the replies to my noob TRF419XR owner questions. I promise that I am searching prior to asking.

Here is one more... I will be using the aluminum chassis (black carpet) without the center ballast weight - it didn't come with it and I can't find any for sale. My question is, how do I prevent the rear of my Lipo from moving laterally and rubbing against the pinion. Because of all the holes on the aluminum chassis, I can't use 54694 Rubber Anti-Slip Sheet. Is the strapping tape enough to prevent any movement?

this is the link to the ballast weight

https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/7-dig...-weight-42317/

i would still cut strips of the anti slip sheet and place it on areas you can.

with these in place, and battery tape you should be good to go.

a good upgrade would the L shaped battery holders which are not cheap..

Thanks once again Raman. I wonder why TamiyaUSA didn't come up via Google. I'll remember to look there too the next time.

The manual has 5 digit and 8 digit part numbers. You need to drop the 1st number and then do a search. No idea why it’s like this.. but it’s been this way for decades

Hey Bud,
Where are you located? I have a center weight left over from my 419x I'd be happy to pass along if the shipping is cheap.

P.S. Anyone interested in some aluminum pulleys and diff housings? No REASONABLE offer will be refused... and I'm very reasonable. I switched to the 420 Diff housing and I'm not going back to these.

Default 420 on the way not sure if it's his last hooray or if I end up hanging on to it.

You are going to love the 420. It’s a pretty big step up. Although I am not letting my 419 go anywhere.

you can stick the anti slip sheet on each of your batteries.(of course u need to buy extra anti slip sheet)
or i will make a 3d-print dummy center ballast weight because i need to reduce weight in blinky race

Yep, I’m finishing the review for the site now. I’ve smashed my track records with the new car. It has way more steering.
