Introducing the next generation of the shaft driven, high performance TB Evolution R/C racing car. In-depth analysis of the TB Evo IV’s racing performance and other driver feedback has enabled TRF designers to fully redesign chassis components to optimize center of gravity and weight balance.

- Steering unit has been located in even lower position, and totally redesigned to incorporate Ackerman steering geometry, realizing sharp and precise linear steering feel.
- Lower bulkhead has been redesigned for more compact, lighter design. New upper and lower bulkheads offer combined weight savings of 11.5g.
- Durable and high precision aluminum diff joint guarantees smooth diff effect under even the toughest conditions. Plastic swing shaft protector reduces friction with diff housing.
- Suspension system utilizes reversible type short span arms to greatly improve responsiveness.
Normal reversible suspension can be used, greatly increasing setting choices.
