Scale-accurate WRC replica for enthusiasts

For those passionate about rally racing, the Tamiya 58241 - 1/10 RC Ford Focus WRC TL-01 Chassis Kit brings a piece of motorsport history to life. The kit reproduces the well known Focus WRC lines and mates them with the reliable TL-01 chassis so modellers can enjoy both authentic looks and straightforward mechanical layout.

Chassis design and handling traits

The TL-01 platform stands out for simplicity and robustness, making it easy to maintain and adapt. Its even weight distribution supports stable handling, while the independent double wishbone suspension helps keep tyre contact consistent during spirited driving. The electric motor setup delivers reliable and predictable acceleration.

Historical context and model appeal

The Ford Focus WRC achieved notable success in rallying around the late 90s and early 2000s. This 1/10 rendition lets hobbyists own a compact version of that era while using modern components to tune performance.

Simple upgrade suggestions

Installing ball bearings and selecting tyres suited to your track will noticeably improve responsiveness. Fine tuning suspension settings and keeping components clean will maintain handling over time.
