Tamiya TRF101 F1 Chassis Prototype

Tamiya has just announced a new TRF, this time it is something a bit different -- a TRF F1 car.

















Looking at the first picture and initial information it looks to be very much an evolution of the F104v2 but with a new front end, wider motor pod and more link settings.

Tamiya has announced some specs of TRF101 F1:

  • The front arms are 2.5mm carbon fibre rather than the plastic used on the F104

  • Servo can be placed standing up or laid down

  • The aluminum motor mount has "extended lateral width"

  • Carbon rear shaft

  • Quick mounting position from three locations before and after (No idea what this means, maybe the front suspension mounts?)

  • TRF damper

  • F104 metal adjustable uprights

  • TB-03 Aluminum Motor Spacer

  • HT aluminum servo saver horn

  • 24T hard coat .04 pinion
