TRF415

[J_J]

Any one know what pitch gear wise this is ? (
Mine should be here in the next few days)

[g4t2]

I just got mine today, looks sweet. It comes with 64 pitch gears.

[Tamiya_Racer]

SHOW OFF! :D :o :o :o :'(

[J_J]

Whats the internal ratio then please ?

(so I can buy some 64dp pinions)

[KeithA]

2.1875

Pulleys are 16T and diffs 35T

Why don't you stick a 48 dp spur on if that's what you use?

I buy all my tamiya stuff from japan - its much cheaper.

[steven bough]

Would you be so kind to pm a link to a good tamiya stockest.
Is the u.k hopeless for tamiya stuff?

The UK does get all the main kits but the top edition racing models tend to be very costly and in limited numbers which do make it into the country through the importer who happens to be the hobby company now based in Milton Keynes, contact details can be found in the two UK based R/C car mags that most people read.

[chris skidmore]

u can buy the tamiya 415 and evo 3 in uk but abit expensive from ur local modal shop or maybe ebay

[Genem]

You think the TRF415 can beat a TC3? I'm thinking of saving up.

[Tamiya_Racer]

hahah why not? it has done and will continue

Tamiya seem to be proving lately that their cars have what it takes to get results! Also note that 6 out of the top 10 cars are belt drive - a lesson for those who feel that shaft drive is the only way to go maybe ?

1st - Marc Rheinard - Tamiya-415
2nd - Teemu Leino - Schumacher-Mi2
3rd - Atsushi Hara - HPI-Pro4
4th - David Spashett - Losi-XXXS - UK
5th - Steen Graversen - Tamiya-415
6th - C. Surikarn - Tamiya-415
7th - Juho Levänen - Associated-TC3
8th - Benni Gröschel - HPI-Pro4
9th - Craig Drescher - Associated-TC3 - UK
10th - Andreas Myrberg - XRAY

Also, TRF415 was supposed to be the most popular car at the meeting! :o

[Genem]

If only I had a higher paying job!... I can't wait to buy one!

[radosteve]

Had mine for a good few weeks now! And it flies and handles really sweet!

Only prob I have come across is it is a right royal P.I.T.A. to change the belt tension :( And it can suffer from Tweaky tweak if you have a habit of hitting things (Like Me)

It seems to go very well in the hands of Ben Cosgrove , winner of the 2004 BRCA Modified Championship Round 1 at Bedworth.

Well done Ben , i did tell you that if anyone could win with a Tamiya you could. I just did not expect you to win so soon.

[Tamiya_Racer]

ok i found this and its quite annoying. Just having a random browse on Apex and.

TRF415 = ...£415 pounds! wow what a coincidence..

COME ON TAMIYA RELEASE A TRF-99p !!! ( p = pro :) )

[Genem]

no, they'll have to continue with the numbers... TRF416, TRF417... each one more expensive than the last.

[Hejkal]

TB Evo IV = how much pounds? :-) :p

[Colbeaf]

it's wisely known that TRF stands for Tamiya Release Fare :p
