A compact tribute to the FW14

The Tamiya 58105 RC Williams FW14 Kit recreates the iconic FW14 at 1/10 scale, giving modellers a tidy base to build and personalise. Its period styling makes it a go-to kit for enthusiasts who value authentic F1 silhouettes.

What the F102 chassis brings to the table

The F102 chassis is designed for on-road circuits, delivering a light but sturdy foundation. Its direct drive layout simplifies the drivetrain and reduces mechanical drag. Tuners will appreciate the adjustable suspension components which allow quick set changes between venues.

Practical setup advice for consistent laps

Match tyres to the track surface for predictable grip levels, and lower the ride height carefully to avoid bottoming at speed. Fine-tune gearing to suit shorter or faster circuits and check balance after any suspension changes to keep lap times consistent.

Comparing the FW14 to modern formula kits

Although some more recent kits include advanced electronics or composite parts, the Tamiya 58105 stands out for its scale authenticity and straightforward build process, which appeals to modellers and racers alike.

The Tamiya 58105 is ideal for hobbyists wanting a period correct F1 model that is fun to build and simple to set up for club track days.

The kit is approachable with clear instructions, suitable for someone with basic modelling experience and a few hobby tools.
Closed-cell foam tyres or low-profile rubber tyres tuned to the track surface give good grip; try softer compounds on smooth surfaces.
Common upgrades include higher torque servos, better bearings and aftermarket tuning parts, all of which enhance response and durability.
