Celebrating the Williams FW14 in RC form

The Tamiya 58105 RC Williams FW14 Kit recreates a landmark F1 car at 1/10 scale for scale model racers. It captures the FW14s historic lines while giving builders a platform they can tune and race on local circuits.

F102 chassis: straightforward race-focused platform

The included F102 chassis is built for on-road performance, offering a lightweight layout and simple maintenance. Its direct drive arrangement delivers predictable power to the wheels, and the layout is popular with racers who prefer a clean, no-frills setup. The adjustable suspension makes it easy to dial in handling for different asphalt surfaces.

Setup tips to improve handling and lap times

Start with tyres that suit the track surface; softer compounds usually help grip on smoother tarmac. Keep the ride height moderate to enhance stability at speed, and try small gear ratio changes to find the right balance between acceleration and top speed. Regular checks of wheel alignment will keep steering consistent.

Where the FW14 sits among other formula kits

The Tamiya 58105 stands out for its historic accuracy and accessible build. While some modern formula kits include more advanced electronics, this FW14 kit focuses on authentic looks and tunability, making it rewarding for both newcomers and experienced builders.

For collectors and track-minded hobbyists the Tamiya 58105 blends classic F1 styling with a chassis that invites setup work and upgrades, making it a solid choice for on-road racing garages.
