Tamiya 84287 Team Lotus Type 102B F104W 1/10 Scale Kit  [84287]

Historic F1 Detail Recreated for Modern RC Fans

The Tamiya 84287 - 1/10 RC Team Lotus Type 102B is a faithful scale rendering of a notable 1991 Formula 1 racer. The model replicates the green and white livery and sponsor markings on a clear polycarbonate shell, pairing classic looks with a contemporary F104W layout. Builders get a balance of display-grade authenticity and track-capable hardware.

Contemporary F104W Underpinnings

The F104W chassis gives the replica a stable, precise base. Its 2WD drivetrain transfers power via a pinion to spur gear setup for efficient drive. The layout combines independent front suspension with a solid rear axle to mirror the handling cues of the prototype while remaining straightforward to set up.

Tuning Options for Different Tracks

Hobbyists can tweak front camber and toe to suit handling preferences, and the adjustable gear ratio lets pilots alter acceleration and top speed tradeoffs. Friction dampers and foam slicks help the model stay composed on smooth surfaces, making it a good match for club circuits and display shelves alike.

A Model for Collectors and Drivers

Collectors will value the attention to period detail, while active RC drivers will enjoy the assembly and setup process. The kit assembles into a striking display piece that also responds well to careful tuning and well-matched electronics.

The Tamiya 84287 - 1/10 RC Team Lotus Type 102B suits modelers who want a historical F1 replica that is also configurable for on-road driving. Its attention to livery detail and sensible tuning options make it rewarding to build and drive.
