Verry nice video of the trf420... I still race the trf419x just for fun. It's good to have guy's like you to keep the Trf alive👍 I wonder what the next trf will be. Greetings from Belgium
Very good and informative video Dai, just what I have been looking for as I am still finishing off my TRF420 after the "epic" build. One question the TA08 front way set is that a good option to upgrade too? Thanks again Damian
If you are driving on a track, where absolutely no braking is needed, a Front One Way might be an option. I have not seen any such track in the past 10 years.
Yet, there is no 421X. Definitely the 421 is a big step over 420X. Increased corner speed and more scalability with rear traction makes it the spearhead of TRF.
Currently I am using them as Anti-Tuck System. So still rear vertical mounts needed. But as soon as the RC-Maker ones (-S) will be available I will switch to them.
Hi Dai! I have been watching your videos lately and I am looking to get may 1st trf kit. Is it worth waiting for the trf420x to come out april/may or since locally, we still have the trf419xws and trf420 available, what would you recommend?
It is not easy to give you a full answer on your question! First of all, the more experienced you are, the more you will be able to unlock the full potential of a TRF car. In other words: If your lap times on a track differ more than 0,3sec (StDev) from each other, you should rather alter your skills with an mid or entry-level model. A good set-upped TT-02 will be always faster than a bad set-upped TRF420! I cannot judge the performance of the new 420X, but I would not expect it to be far behind the 420. What I can say is, that from 419X/XR to the 420 there was quite a remarkable step in terms of drivability. The best lap time will not necessarily differ so much comparing all recent TRF touring cars.

It is wonderful that you now speak english in your videos... Please continue, I'm sure you will also gain more subscribers too! Cheers.

Good to hear you are racing the 419X, which is still a very good and competitive car!
Extremely useful video! Thank you Dai. Good luck with your racing. Regards.
Thank you too!
The TRF420 is an extremely competitive car still... Tamiya Forever!!!!!!

Is TRF 421X really better than TRF420X, I felt like 420X is stronger. Please share your thought.

Definitely the 421 is a big step over 420X. Increased corner speed and more scalability with rear traction makes it the spearhead of TRF.
I'm curious, I see you have the backwards facing bodymounts as well, do you use different bodies, and use them when needed, or whats the idea?
Currently I am using them as Anti-Tuck System. So still rear vertical mounts needed.
But as soon as the RC-Maker ones (-S) will be available I will switch to them.
@@sakaguchinetshop thanks for the info. Any idea on schedule on the rc-maker bodyposts(rumours etc)? :)
@@tm5123 they are on Backorder since 4 weeks… no idea, when they will be available.
@@sakaguchinetshop Well, I guess I gotta have a look into this as well. :) Thanks for all the info.
Warum fährst du nicht den TA07 MSX? Gibts da fahrerisch große Unterschiede/Nachteile zwischen den beiden?
Der TA07MSX ist leider nicht wirklich konkurrenzfähig. Ich vermute, dass es am eigenwilligen Oberdeckdesign liegt.

Are you a tamiya sponsored driver? Just curious.... cheers.
I am pretty sure, that as a shop owner, I am not sponsored by Tamiya.
@@sakaguchinetshop Oh, wow! I didn't realize you owned a shop....
Hi Dai, are your setups available online? Looking for a base setup on a small technical track with ETS carpet (13.5 Blinky). Thanks!

Englisch?
Damit erreiche ich 8x mehr Zuschauer als nur auf deutsch. Für non--english-speakers habe ich die deutschen Untertitel angefügt.
