Classic FW14 design reworked for RC

The Tamiya 58105 RC Williams FW14 Kit recreates the look of the early 90s F1 car at 1/10 scale, giving modellers a historically styled model that is also practical for club racing and display.

Understanding the F102 chassis layout

The F102 chassis provides a simple, effective on-road platform. Its direct drive setup keeps the drivetrain compact and reduces maintenance points. Adjustable suspension components mean you can quickly alter handling to suit circuits of different speeds.

Practical driving and setup guidance

Choose tyre compounds that match the track surface to control grip levels, and use small ride height adjustments to fine tune stability at higher speed. Altering gear ratios in small steps helps you find the best compromise between acceleration and top speed.

How this FW14 compares to current formula kits

While modern kits may emphasise advanced materials or integrated electronics, the Tamiya 58105 focuses on faithful styling and a chassis that rewards hands-on setup and basic upgrades.
