Avec un peu de chance il fera peut-être descendre le prix de la TRF418?

Interesting and a bit surprising that the next TRF TC will be the TRF419 but then again it has long been the norm if there are changes to the bulkheads and chassis mounting points that it's automatically a new generation.

So far the only available info is this:

Translated:

Chassis: Tamiya TRF419

Motor: Team Orion 4.5-turn Lightweight

Battery: Team Orion Carbon Pro 6000mAh

ESC: Team Orion R10.1

Radio: Sanwa Exzes Z

Servo: Sanwa SRG-BLS

Body: PROTOform LTC-R

Notes: Jilles’ car is fitted with the new shock bodies, which are the same diameter on the outside but the bore has been increased from 10mm to 10.5mm - yet the pistons have remained the same size. He wasn’t sure if these pistons would remain for the production kit. The suspension assemblies are borrowed straight from the TRF418, but the chassis and upper deck will be different on the 419 and may not reflect exactly what’s on Jilles’ car by the time they make it to production. The rear gear differential is larger to hold more oil, and has a new internal ratio.

IFMAR_On_Road_Worlds_0080.jpg

Jilles pointed out that the best indication of how much wider the bulkheads are - about 1mm on each side - is by looking at how the screws that mount them to the chassis are now aligned with the suspension mount fasteners. The wider bulkheads make the car more stable and have more traction at both ends. Jilles mentioned that the pulleys are larger than those on the 418, which makes the car accelerate more smoothly and feels like it has more traction, and both will be black as the plastic doesn’t show dirt as much as the white plastic on the prototype pulley seen here.

IFMAR_On_Road_Worlds_0082.jpg

The TRF419’s longer U-shaped motor mount also stiffens the chassis, which Jilles said makes the car more stable when accelerating. The chassis on Jilles’ car is a prototype, featuring screw mount holes that can be used to fasten various accessories from either the TRF418 or TRF419 during testing, and has several holes that won’t be seen on the production version - such as the two between the motor mount’s front holes. Just behind the spur gear cutout (on the left side of this photo) you can see three different mounting holes for the motor mount, as anywhere from 1-3 screws can be used to change the chassis’ stiffness. The overall shape of the chassis may change for the production version as well.

The suspension mounts are now keyed to the chassis to prevent them from tweaking during an accident.

Tamiya’s large factory team here in Kissimmee are running the recently announced TRF419, the latest in a long line of World Championship winning touring car chassis from the Japanese manufacturer. Only some very small detail changes over the TRF 418, the new car has the motor mounted slightly further back, meaning new belts, and sports an all new rear gear differential. The diff has updated internals with a bigger pitch crown gears that make the car more stable and help improve the car’s corner speed.

Like the other new cars it has a one piece motor mount and included flex options thanks to multiple mounting holes in the chassis and block. There are slightly larger bore shocks and the lower suspension mounts have pins for locating them and preventing them from shifting in a crash. The mounts also have differently positioned mounting holes, in an L configuration instead of straight accross the mount, which helps increase flex in this area. The car is expected to be released in early December.

La Tamiya TRF419 de Nicolas Huguenin.

Ce pilote revient à ses premiers amours, à savoir Tamiya, avec la dernière production en date de la marque en matière de Touring 1/10° électrique, le TRF419. Son auto est sensiblement proche de la version de boîte.

La Tamiya TRF419 de Walter Pollet-Villard.

L'auto de ce pilote, qui courre habituellement en championnat de France et qui finira second de la finale A, était, comme à l'accoutumée, préparée aux petits oignons.

Au menu, on remarquera, entre autres, un renfort liant les deux renvois de direction à la platine supérieure, un cinquième plot de carrosserie avec fixation Velcro sur le support d'amortisseurs avant pour récupérer de l'appui à l'avant, des prolongateurs de support de carrosserie arrière Zeppin Racing pour en récupérer à l'arrière, une immobilisation du pack revue et corrigée, de la visserie allégée seulement là où il faut, des plombs de lestage là où il faut, une batterie de condensateurs de fabrication personnelle avec câblage court pour le contrôleur brushless, le ventilateur de ce dernier légèrement surélevé pour assurer suffisamment de volume de dégagement à l'air brassé, un autre ventilateur de dimensions généreuse pour le moteur, des câblages radio et puissance au plus court mais sans exagération, un fraisage du châssis en carbone réalisé à l'opposé de celui pour le moteur pour obtenir plus de symétrie du flex, etc. Certains remarqueront que les fils du contrôleur ne sont pas monochrome, mais laisser les fils d'origine, surtout s'ils sont de qualité, évite de faire chauffer artificiellement et inutilement le contrôleur en soudant de nouveaux fils. De plus, les soudures industrielles d'origine sont souvent de bien meilleure qualité que celles faites avec de l'étain du commerce. L'efficacité et la sécurité avant le look! Pour le reste des astuces de préparation, on vous laisse chercher sur les photos tout seul comme des grands!
