Proven Platform with TRF Roots

The Tamiya 84100 DB01 R Chassis Kit builds on TRF501X DNA to deliver a chassis tuned for competitive off-road driving. It combines race-derived geometry with durable parts for drivers who want a responsive 1/10 scale buggy.

How the DB01 Has Progressed

The DB01 line started as a competition chassis and has been refined over time. The DB01 R package consolidates many popular hop-ups into a near-complete kit, giving a strong balance of performance and value for both racers and dedicated hobbyists.

Key Components That Improve Handling

This kit features a 2-belt 4WD layout for balanced power transfer and a suspension setup that includes high traction arms, aeration dampers, and aluminium suspension mounts for improved stability. The drivetrain is upgraded with a slipper clutch, universal shafts, and reinforced drive belts to resist wear during hard runs.

Tuning Tips from Experienced Builders

To get the most from the DB01 R, try varying damper oil viscosity and spring rates to suit surface conditions and driving style. Keep the belt paths clean and check belt tension regularly to avoid performance loss and extend component life.

The Tamiya 84100 DB01 R Chassis Kit suits racers chasing a competitive edge and hobbyists who want a robust, tunable buggy with proven components.
