Purpose-built F103RM chassis for precise track work

The Tamiya 84032 F103RM brings a true formula layout to the 1/10 scale scene with a rear direct drive 2WD system. That direct engagement between motor pinion and spur gear helps deliver efficient drive and immediate throttle reaction on smooth surfaces.

Materials and suspension layout

The F103RM uses an FRP lower deck combined with a half upper deck to keep the chassis both rigid and light. Front suspension uses independent kingpins and coil springs, while the rear setup relies on a friction pad arrangement with a coil spring damper to control roll during cornering.

Practical tuning and balance

By locating the battery at the rear the model gains improved traction characteristics. The type 540 motor fits into an adjustable-height gear case, allowing pinion height changes for gearing experiments. The upright servo mount and isometric tie-rods give accurate steering feedback for tight lines at club tracks.

The Tamiya 84032 F103RM is well suited to tuners who enjoy setup work and precise handling. Its light FRP construction and conventional formula geometry make it a dependable platform for practice and local events.

Yes, the F103RM is designed for tarmac-style tracks and club circuits where its direct drive and suspension provide predictable handling.
You can fit brushless setups provided the motor fits the type 540 space and you adjust the gear mesh and ESC to suit the higher RPM characteristics.
Narrow, high-grip slicks that match the listed widths and diameters will give the best traction on smooth track surfaces while keeping steering precise.
Basic modelling tools and a small set of hex drivers are sufficient, though calipers and a reliable pinion gage help when setting up gear mesh and alignment.
