Tamiya 42252 TRF101 1/10 Formula Chassis Kit - Tuners Edition  [42252]

Overview of the Tamiya 42252 TRF101 platform

The Tamiya 42252 TRF101 chassis kit is crafted for Formula One model builders who value accurate handling and adjustability. Derived from the F104 Ver.II heritage, it adopts a longitudinal battery arrangement, a carbon lower deck and improved suspension items to help with fine tuning on varied track surfaces.

Lightweight carbon layout and rear geometry

The carbon fibre lower deck and supporting brace provide a stiff yet light foundation. The rear uses a centre pivot ball combined with left and right side links and dedicated pitch and roll dampers, enabling setup changes via oil selection and spring tension to match grip levels.

Steering precision and modular mounting

At the front, a single-piece carbon upper arm bolsters turn-in accuracy and mid-corner stability. The chassis also includes a redesigned motor mount and updated linkage parts, offering multiple mounting choices for balance and steering feel adjustments.

This Tamiya 42252 TRF101 kit is geared toward hobbyists who like to dial in their setup. Its carbon construction and suspension flexibility make it rewarding for track testing and development.
