The Tamiya 84287 - 1/10 RC Team Lotus Type 102B reproduces the classic 1991 Formula 1 appearance in accurate scale. The clear polycarbonate body carries the authentic green and white paint scheme and sponsor detail, mounted on an F104W chassis to merge vintage aesthetics with reliable modern construction.
The F104W chassis offers a reliable baseline for setup and handling. The 2WD drivetrain channels power through a pinion to spur gear arrangement for clean drive delivery. With independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, the model provides predictable behaviour suited to smooth on-road circuits.
Adjustable front camber and toe let you change steering response and corner balance, while the gear ratio can be altered to prioritise acceleration or top speed. Friction dampers and foam slick tyres deliver steady traction on flat surfaces.
Whether intended for display or occasional track use, the kit rewards precise painting and careful setup. The accurate livery and build quality make it desirable for collectors as well as hands-on hobbyists who enjoy tuning their models.
The Tamiya 84287 - 1/10 RC Team Lotus Type 102B is an attractive kit for those who appreciate classic F1 liveries and want a tunable on-road platform. It builds into a polished display model that can also be set up for measured track performance.
