A New Chapter for the TRF101 Series

Tamiya extends the TRF101 line with the TRF101W, widening the stance and integrating carbon fibre upgrades. The result is a chassis aimed at improving turn-in and mid-corner stability.

Stiffer Front End with Carbon Arms

The revamped front arms are carbon fibre to boost rigidity and deliver crisper steering. Combined with an aluminium servo stay and updated mount points, the setup gives more direct steering feel.

Chassis Flex Optimised for Track Control

By reducing lower deck thickness to 2.5mm, the TRF101W gains usable flex that helps the car settle on low-adhesion surfaces. Adjusted battery post positions also help shift pitch dynamics to improve front traction.

Smoother Dampers and Faster Response

The middle brace redesign alters pitch damper placement for quicker reactions to surface changes. The new roll damper piston design equalises stroke lengths for more consistent damping across events.

Tamiya TRF101W is aimed at drivers who want a setup-rich formula kit that reacts well to tuning. Its carbon updates and altered geometry make it a practical choice for club and regional racing.

Medium to soft compound tyres typically offer the best grip on smooth asphalt; experiment with tread width and insert to tune bite and steering.
A compact high-torque servo is recommended to fit the direct servo mounting and provide responsive steering control without binding.
Increase chassis flex, soften damper settings and try different tyre compounds to improve mechanical grip on low-adhesion circuits.
Yes, brushless motors and compatible ESCs can be installed, but verify motor dimensions and gear mesh to avoid interference with the drive train.
