From the TRF101 Roots to the Wider TRF101W

Tamiya continues its formula lineage with the TRF101W, a wider tread take on the original TRF101. This version focuses on track balance and refined control for competitive on-road driving.

Carbon Fibre Front Arms for Improved Tracking

The front suspension has been upgraded with carbon fibre arms that improve rigidity and steering response. An aluminium servo stay and revised front mount further sharpen the chassis turn-in characteristics.

Tuned Flex for Lower Grip Conditions

The lower deck has been slimmed to 2.5mm to allow measured flex, which enhances stability on lower-grip surfaces. Battery post placement has been altered to shift pitch loading toward the front end and enhance traction.

Damper Improvements for Consistent Performance

Adjusting the middle brace changes the pitch damper fitment, giving quicker reaction to surface changes. The updated roll damper piston maintains equal contraction and extension travel for predictable damping behavior.

Tamiya TRF101W brings precise handling and setup options for racers who want to dial in lap times. Its carbon upgrades and geometry changes reward careful tuning and tyre choice.

Expect a detailed build that requires time and some prior kit experience to ensure correct geometry and damper setup.
The chassis accepts square-shaped packs including shorty types; check mounting orientation and cable routing when choosing a pack.
Yes, many tune parts like alternative arms, braces and damper pistons are available to tailor handling for different tracks.
Tyre choice depends on track surface; softer compounds help on low-grip circuits while harder compounds suit high-grip surfaces and longer runs.
