Historic Rally Model with Period Detail

The Tamiya 58281 renders the Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 at 1/10 scale, capturing its presence in the 2001 World Rally Championship. The kit mirrors the car's competition upgrades such as engine tuning and the tyre change from Michelin to Pirelli, along with authentic sponsor livery that appeals to collectors and modders.

TB-01 Chassis Characteristics

The TB-01 platform uses a longitudinal motor layout paired with a shaft-driven 4WD system to provide steady drive across varied surfaces. The ABS bathtub frame construction gives structural integrity, while wheel dampers and independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension improve traction and cornering. An aluminium motor heat sink is fitted to aid cooling during prolonged runs.

Setup Recommendations for Rally and Club Use

Start by matching tyre compound and suspension settings to the surface you intend to run on, then refine camber and toe for sharper handling. The TB-01 responds predictably to tuning, making it suitable for both display collectors and drivers focused on consistent lap times.

The Tamiya 58281 Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 pairs authentic historic detail with a dependable TB-01 chassis, offering a solid platform for model builders and rally hobbyists alike.
