The Tamiya TRF104: Reimagining Formula One RC Racing

When it comes to the pinnacle of RC Formula One racing, the Tamiya TRF104 chassis stands as a testament to innovation and precision. Built for those with a need for speed and an eye for detail, this 1/10 scale chassis masterfully blends high-performance materials and cutting-edge design. With its carbon fiber and aluminum construction, the TRF104 is more than just a model—it's a formidable machine on the racetrack.

Revamped Suspension System for Superior Handling

The TRF104's suspension system is nothing short of revolutionary. Featuring updated front and rear configurations, this chassis offers unmatched control. The front suspension boasts adjustable plastic upper A-arms, allowing racers to fine-tune camber angles between +1 and -3 degrees and caster angles at set increments. Such adaptability ensures the vehicle remains responsive under varied track conditions.

At the rear, the innovative exclusion of traditional suspension links and T-bars in favor of ball connectors enables a central roll setup. This not only enhances stability but also offers precise roll speed adjustments through friction grease and roll dampers. Coupled with a flexible FRP suspension plate and TRF damper, the TRF104 promises an unparalleled driving experience.

Optimized Layout for Enhanced Performance

In the world of RC racing, balance is key. The TRF104 addresses this by centralizing the battery pack, receiver, and servo, thereby enhancing the rear grip. This thoughtful design choice minimizes the risk of losing traction, especially critical during high-speed maneuvers.

Customizable to Match Your Racing Style

Customization is at the heart of the TRF104's design. With adjustable motor mount options, racers can fine-tune ground clearance in 0.8mm increments and choose between two wheelbases. The steering setup, adjustable via four different linkage configurations, ensures direct and responsive handling.

Furthermore, the rear differential unit borrowed from the TRF103 and lightweight carbon fiber shaft ensures durability, even when paired with heavier rubber tires. Add in the flexibility of dual rear wing mounting options, and you have a chassis ready for any challenge.

The Tamiya TRF104 chassis is tailor-made for the serious RC enthusiast. Its combination of high-end materials, customizable features, and thoughtful design makes it a top choice for competitive racing. Whether you're a seasoned racer or an avid collector, the TRF104 offers unmatched value and performance.
