Tamiya 42279 - 1/10 TRF101W Formula Racing Chassis Kit  [42279]

Evolution of the TRF101 Platform Into the TRF101W

Tamiya builds on the TRF101 legacy with the TRF101W, widening the track and adding carbon fibre components to refine handling. The package is tailored for drivers chasing predictable responses through corners.

Reworked Front Geometry and Carbon Upgrades

Front suspension arms now use carbon fibre for improved durability and direct steering feedback. The updated aluminium servo stay and revised suspension mount improve steering precision under load.

Measured Flex and Improved Pitch Balance

The lower deck reduction to 2.5mm gives controlled flex that helps the chassis settle, particularly on slippery surfaces. Repositioning the battery posts changes pitch load to aid front traction during corner entry.

Damper Enhancements for Consistent Handling

The redesigned middle brace alters where the pitch damper mounts to speed up response to track highs and lows. The new roll damper piston ensures consistent contraction and extension for stable damper performance.

The Tamiya TRF101W provides a tunable base for racers focused on setup and handling consistency. Its carbon parts and revised geometry reward careful setup and tyre selection.
