Recently acquired a TRF419X, looking for a XR conversion kit or a lower aluminum deck for black carpet racing. Haven't found any except a 42333 419XR lower deck but does look like its compatible with the 419X. Any suggestions? Thanks

Prior to the XR, there was the WS aluminium chassis, which is fully compatible with 419X. I have a WS chassis that was only used on carpet if you’re interested.

Not chassis related, but you can purchase the Suspension Upgrade Set (Tamiya 54886), that gives you a notable improvement, especially C-hub reliability and steering angle. Chassis stiffness wise, I am not sure if you need more than the X provides.

Messaged you 👍🏻

Thanks I saw that upgrade. I’ve run the exotek C-hub in the past but might look into that.

I’m using the 420 upgrade, much more reliable as far as C hubs.. but I still advise using the Xray hard bumper.. which helps a lot as well

I use all time the complete XRay Front and have no problems with everthimg like C-Hub​​​​​​​

Do you need any modifications to fit?

No they Fit perfekt only less shiming on the Blocks. You can notice on the first pic.
Now I use also the TRF 416 Cups on the Pulley. You need no Blades.

Hi. Can the TRF417 suspension be upgraded to TRF418/419 spec?

Thanks!

Yes. It can also be updated to 420s as well

steve I use the 417 suspension on all my newer Tamiyas

@badboy

I have a lot of NIB 418 and 419 arms that I won’t be using. PM me

You need more? I have NIB ones of those as well.. lol. Need to make room

How much? And how many sets do you have?
