Description
Premium Aluminum & Carbon Fiber F1 RC Racing Kit The Tamiya TRF104 1/10 Electric 2WD Formula-1 Competition Chassis Kit is designed for serious racers seeking precision and performance. With its carbon fiber construction, innovative suspension design, and customizable drivetrain, the TRF104 offers unmatched handling and adaptability, making it a top contender for competitive Formula-1 racing. About the TRF104 Chassis The Tamiya TRF104 1/10 Electric 2WD Formula-1 Competition Chassis Kit is built for high-performance racing, featuring a premium carbon fiber lower deck that enhances both strength and lightweight agility. The chassis layout has been strategically designed to optimize weight distribution, with the battery pack, receiver, and servo positioned centrally to maintain stability and improve rear grip. The inclusion of a new steering arm design offers improved tuning possibilities with Ackermann adjustments, ensuring precise and responsive handling on the track. Additionally, the TRF104’s sleek and aerodynamic body design is complemented by a rear wing mount option that keeps the wing level even when the rear suspension moves, maximizing downforce for superior traction. Drivetrain At the heart of the TRF104’s drivetrain is a smooth ball differential system, which provides efficient power transfer and exceptional cornering stability. The rear differential unit is borrowed from the TRF103 chassis, utilizing a lightweight yet durable carbon fiber shaft that reduces rotational mass, making it well-suited for rubber tires. The motor mount features an innovative design that allows adjustments to both ground clearance and wheelbase, giving racers the flexibility to fine-tune their setup based on track conditions. Five different ground clearance settings in 0.8mm increments, along with two wheelbase options, ensure that the TRF104 remains adaptable and competitive across various racing surfaces. Suspension The TRF104 introduces a revolutionary suspension setup that eliminates traditional T-bars and suspension links, instead utilizing centrally mounted ball connectors on the motor plate to control chassis roll. This design enhances stability while allowing for precise tuning through roll dampers and adjustable roll springs located beneath the rear shaft. The front suspension features 2.5mm thick carbon fiber lower arms with two mounting positions for adjustable track width, while the redesigned upper A-arms—reminiscent of the TRF421—allow for easy camber adjustments. With plastic upper arms and an aluminum caster plate offering multiple caster angle settings, the front suspension delivers exceptional grip and responsiveness, making the TRF104 a formidable choice for Formula-1 RC racing enthusiasts.

A-Main hobbies is a very reputable distributor. 💯🫡 . I know this is out of your control but USPS is a joke!!! I personally would pay more for shipping to re assure my package is going to make it ON TIME. I've spent thousands in the past 3 months just to have USPS screw me over on the delivery timing. Everything is always delayed, late, wrong delivery, or the package completely passes me up and goes 4 hours away in the wrong direction. Ive Never had any issues with private carriers
Item received very quickly and well-packaged. Excellent communication with seller as well! One side note, the pictures of the parts make them look.like the black set, however, they are actually dark gray. I took pictures of my set as well, and in those pictures the parts look black too! Plus, Tamiya has the same Hop-up part# for the black set (see the limited edition black version of the Racing Fighter buggy on Tamiya's website) AMain is AWESOME and offered a refund too.
Scotty himself beamed this thing to my house! I ordered this Friday NIGHT. It was in my mailbox at 130pm today (Monday) from the east coast!. Incredibly fast shipping!!! I haven't taken it out of the box yet, but it's brand new and in the packaging, so I assume it'll work just great. Incredible price, ridiculously fast shipping, great customer service and communication! 10/10 will buy from here again. Thank you!
