Tamiya 84100 DB01 R Race Base Chassis Kit  [84100]

High Quality Chassis with Race Lineage

The Tamiya 84100 DB01 R Chassis Kit channels design elements from the TRF501X into a 1/10 scale chassis that balances agility and durability. It is intended for drivers who expect tunable handling and a solid parts layout.

What Changed with the DB01 R Update

The DB01 family began as a competition chassis and has been refined across revisions. The DB01 R groups many of the commonly selected upgrades into one kit, making it easier to field a near-complete race car without hunting parts individually.

Notable Build Features and Drivetrain Design

The kit uses a twin-belt 4WD system to keep power distributed evenly, while high traction arms, aeration dampers, and aluminium mounts help stabilise the chassis. The drivetrain includes a slipper clutch and universal shafts plus reinforced belts to boost reliability under load.

Practical Setup Steps for Consistent Performance

When setting up the DB01 R, test different damper oils and spring combinations on your local surface to dial in balance. Routine inspections of belts and joints will reduce unexpected failures and keep handling consistent session to session.

The Tamiya 84100 DB01 R Chassis Kit is a dependable platform for racers and hobbyists who want a tunable, upgrade-friendly buggy chassis.
