Track-ready TRF101 chassis from Tamiya 42252

The Tamiya 42252 TRF101 chassis kit delivers a focused Formula One platform for hobbyists who expect precise handling. Building on the F104 Ver.II lineage, this kit adds a longitudinal battery layout, a carbon lower deck and refined suspension parts to sharpen lap times and tuning range.

Carbon structure and tuned suspension

The TRF101 uses a carbon lower deck and reinforcing brace to keep the chassis light and rigid. The rear suspension centres on a pivot ball with left and right side links plus dedicated pitch and roll dampers, allowing setup changes through different oil weights and spring choices to suit track grip.

Front-end control and mounting options

Up front, a one-piece carbon upper arm improves turn-in and stability. The layout also includes a new motor mount design and updated linkage components so racers can tailor gear positioning and steering response for competitive conditions.
