Tamiya 49498 F103RM Formula Car Kit - Tunable Setup Edition  [49498]

Compact Formula Engineering - Tamiya 49498 F103RM

The Tamiya 49498 F103RM captures the essence of formula race cars on the F103 chassis, giving scale realism and a chassis tuned for setup experimentation. It appeals to builders who like to tweak handling characteristics trackside.

Reduced Rotational Mass and Height Control

Key features include the Formula Lightweight Diff Joint Set which trims rotational mass for snappier throttle response. The Formula Height Adjustable Gear Case makes it straightforward to change ground clearance for different wheel and tyre combos.

Balanced Suspension for Predictable Handling

The rear ball mount construction replaces the old O-ring method to decrease vibration and smooth wheel rotation. Matched with a kingpin coil spring front arrangement and a T-bar rear with friction plate, the result is stable, confidence-inspiring handling.

What Comes in the Kit and What to Buy

Included in the box is an M-type body shell without markings and a low-contact battery holder for improved stability. Required extras include an R/C system, ESC, motor, a 7.2V battery and a charger so you can pick components to suit your driving style.

For those who enjoy dialling in setup and extracting predictable lap times, the Tamiya F103RM is a flexible platform that takes tuning cues from full size formula cars.
