Introduction to the F201 Monocoque Platform

The Tamiya 58294 - 1/10 Scale R/C High Performance F201 is built around a monocoque plastic F201 chassis paired with four-wheel shaft drive to deliver a tidy, stiff base for on-road driving. The design emphasises controllable handling and a solid layout for lap-based driving and display projects.

Drive Train and Suspension Details

Control and efficiency are aided by a full set of ball bearings and oil-filled plastic bodied shocks that smooth chassis movement and maintain traction. The RS 540 sport tuned motor supplies usable power suited to the single-speed transmission and on-road conditions.

Adjustment and Styling Choices

Fine tuning is possible with adjustable suspension settings and camber tie rods so you can tailor handling to different surfaces. The kit includes both a clear polycarbonate shell ready for painting and a Lexan carbon fibre pattern body, plus a black plastic rear spoiler to complete the look.

Yes, the clear polycarbonate shell should be painted with paints formulated for polycarbonate or Lexan, using thin coats to preserve fitment and detail.

Will the kit accept standard upgrade parts?

Many upgrade parts such as improved shocks, tuned motors and higher torque servos are compatible, allowing enthusiasts to tailor performance to their needs.
