Smokem Racing LiPo Chassis For Tamiya TRF416

Smokem Racing has developed a LiPo specific chassis for the TRF416 series touring cars. By flipping the drive belts, the LiPo is offset further from the chassis centreline while on the other side, the servo, receiver and ESC are also shifted towards the centreline. Two battery positions are provided so racers can choose where they want to position their LiPo’s, the result is a balanced chassis with no additional weights required.

The 416LP chassis has been designed and thoroughly tested to give the best flex properties. At only 94mm wide, chassis scrub is minimised. Unnecessary cut-outs were removed to deliver a design with balanced lateral flex. Numerous prototypes in varying thicknesses and carbon fibre lay-ups were extensively tested, the result is awesome corner speed and stability over a wide range of conditions.

With both longitudinal and lateral battery tape slots, the Smokem Racing LP chassis accepts all LiPo’s – with or without humps – without additional retainers that may induce tweak. It is suitable for all TRF416 series including the original TRF416, TRF416 Worlds Edition and the latest TRF416X.
