Info on TRF211XM Quick-Form Material
In Tamiya’s presentation of the TRF211XM a new material called Quick-Form®, used for the bathtub chassis, is mentioned.
If you’re interested to know more about the Quick-Form® material, you can read about it here (I assume this is the material used by Tamiya):

42288 TRF211XM Chassis Kit
New materials of the industry’s first adoption change the run!
Off-road racing user attention, appeared chassis kit “TRF211XM” which has made the state-of-the-art evolution!
With the aim of success in the future of off-road scene, and developed a machine that employs the industry’s first new material! !
– Showed a runner results in recent memory in 2013 IFMAR off-road world championship “TRF201XMW”.
– In order to meet this machine to always off-road scene to continue to evolve, to adopt the industry’s first new material chassis developed “TRF211XM”,
– I will aim to flagship of a new off-road.
– Off-road scene the high speed of the advance. Improvement of grip force will grip the maneuverability of the key.
– New materials of bathtub chassis that has been adopted aims to grip improvement achieved with no running feeling ever.
– Grip force and response force has been greatly increased by adopting the material of the chassis that combines the strength and elasticity.
– Also, since the chassis layout corresponds to various batteries, the race in the top category of course,
– Success in Tamiya off-road All Japan Championship Tamiya sponsored also making it the promise can be one.
Worked in various situations inevitable! !
High chassis capacity will demonstrate a wide range of adaptability! !
■ New design Riyasutefuna battery Steph donor battery plate, brass (brass) is adopted suspension mounts & Cooling slipper plate. Parts involved in the chassis rigidity to suit the new chassis is the new design. And has adopted the new suspension mount to secure the grip. In addition, slipper plate has been designed aimed at cooling effect.
■ High strength, high elasticity and high impact resistance to the excellent new material “Quick Form (R)” adoption of the bathtub chassis! New of the new generation material “Quick Form (R)”. The material is that combines the benefits of metal and resin in high performance stampable sheet to balance the physical properties and moldability. Despite the material of high strength, is the material most suitable for off-road chassis also notable to say that super-lightweight.

42289 TRF102 Chassis Kit
Exhibits excellent road surface follow-up in the adoption race new T-bar-type rear suspension for independent control the roll and pitch “TRF102 chassis kit” appeared!
Tamiya Grand Prix, etc., in a variety of road conditions, it is 2WD Formula chassis has been developed so that it can be exhibited consistently high driving performance.
And equipped with a roll point ball and pitching shaft, adopted the new T-bar-type rear suspension that the roll and pitch can be completely independently control each.
I will deliver outstanding road surface follow-up. Furthermore traction battery floating mount fixed to 2.0mm thick carbon upper deck. I pull out the center on both sides cut of 2.5mm thick carbon Lower deck put the bending to the maximum.
[Accessories Parts]
● TRF102 dedicated carbon Lower deck (2.5mm thick)
● TRF102 dedicated carbon upper deck (2.0mm thick)
● TRF102 dedicated Aluminum Servo stay
● TRF102 dedicated aluminum motor mount
● TRF102 dedicated rear suspension (T bar set)
● TRF damper
● OP.1161 F104 low friction suspension ball set
● OP.1357 F104 adjustable metal upright set
● SP.1000 High Torque Servo Saver (Black)
● Def plate-integrated carbon rear shaft
● strengthening type front suspension arm
■ Front suspension is independent left and right of the king pin coil spring. By making the reinforcing type suspension arms, and has a balance that can be used more bending of the entire chassis. Steering servo uses a new type aluminum servo mount and carbon steel bridge that is lighter, securely fixed by screws. Furthermore servo mount was optimizing the mounting rigidity of the chassis.
■ In order to maximize the bending of carbon Lower deck, adopted a floating mount to fix the traction battery to carbon upper deck. And to achieve a substantial suspension stroke up, creating a handling a sense of stability in smooth. In addition, expanding the mechanical mounting space compared to TRF101. I have increased the degree of freedom of choice and layout of electrical equipment.
■ Adopt new T-bar-type rear suspension that provides a complete independent control of pitch and control. Roll point ball is set to chassis limit low position, and maximize the roll moment. Furthermore pitching shaft is completely self-contained, I have to ensure a smooth moving to the road surface gap. In addition, the new motor mount was made possible to adjust the mounting position of the rear wing.
※ body, motor, RC equipment, wheel, tire are not included.
