Tamiya 84032 - F103RM Lightweight 1/10 Formula Kit  [84032]

Race-oriented F103RM chassis built for precise control

The Tamiya 84032 F103RM represents a focused approach to 1/10 scale formula racing. This kit uses a rear direct drive 2WD arrangement so the motor pinion engages directly with the spur gear, giving smooth power transfer and sharp throttle response on the circuit.

Chassis construction and suspension details

The core of the F103RM is a fiber reinforced plastic lower deck combined with a half-type upper deck to keep the structure stiff yet light. Up front the car uses independent kingpin suspension with coil springs, while the rear relies on a friction pad layout paired with a coil spring damper to manage roll during fast cornering.

Set up for balanced track performance

Battery placement at the rear helps the F103RM achieve a rear-biased balance that improves traction. A type 540 motor sits in a height-adjustable gear case so racers can change pinion position for different gearing. The standing steering servo mount and isometric tie-rods deliver predictable steering input for tight lines and consistent lap times.

Specifications

For Canadian-style track sessions and club racing, the Tamiya 84032 F103RM offers an accessible yet tuneable platform. Its lightweight FRP decks and refined steering geometry make it a strong choice for drivers refining setup and lap craft.
