Tamiya 58281 Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 1/10 TB-01 Scale Kit  [58281]

Scale Rally Heritage Recreated

The Tamiya 58281 captures the Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 in accurate 1/10 scale, reflecting its role in the 2001 World Rally Championship. This model highlights the car's competition evolution, including engine upgrades and the tyre change from Michelin to Pirelli, plus era-correct sponsor liveries that make it a standout on display or track.

TB-01 Platform Designed for Balance

The TB-01 chassis places the motor longitudinally and transmits torque via a shaft-driven 4WD system for dependable traction. Constructed from robust ABS with a bathtub frame, the chassis supports steady handling. Wheel dampers and independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension enhance control, and an aluminium motor heat sink helps keep the powerplant cool during demanding runs.

Practical Setup Advice for Rally Use

Adjust tyre compound and suspension preload to suit your surface, whether smooth club tracks or gravel lanes. Camber and toe can be tuned for sharper turn-in or more stable high-speed runs. The TB-01's adaptability makes it a practical base for both casual fun and more serious rally practice.

Tamiya 58281 blends faithful period detail with a flexible TB-01 chassis, making it ideal for modders who want a tunable rally replica or collectors seeking an authentic WRC miniature.
