F201 Chassis Overview and Purpose

The Tamiya 58294 - 1/10 Scale R/C High Performance F201 reflects Tamiya engineering aimed at on-road racing performance. The F201 monocoque plastic chassis and four-wheel shaft drive give a strong, tidy platform that balances durability with competitive handling. The kit is well suited to hobbyists looking for a hands-on build and precise driving feel.

Performance and Running Feel

The chassis focuses on balanced control by using a full complement of ball bearings and oil-filled plastic bodied shocks to smooth out rough surfaces and improve response. Fitted with a sport-tuned RS 540 motor, the package delivers lively acceleration and tractable top-end for circuit use.

Tuneability and Visual Options

Adjustable suspension geometry and camber tie rods allow setup changes to match different track surfaces and driving styles. The kit includes two body choices a clear polycarbonate shell and a Lexan carbon fiber pattern body so builders can pick a look, while the black plastic rear spoiler adds a realistic finishing touch.
