Bringing FW14 heritage to the track

The Tamiya 58105 RC Williams FW14 Kit puts a classic F1 silhouette into a 1/10 scale package that is friendly to both display builders and active racers. It retains the era correct styling while offering a practical platform for race tuning.

Key traits of the F102 on-road chassis

The F102 chassis focuses on simplicity and reliable on-road behaviour. With a direct drive system you get efficient power transfer and fewer moving parts to service. Adjustable suspension lets you alter handling quickly between practice sessions.

Tuning points for better cornering and traction

Start with tyre choice and spring rates for the conditions you expect to run on. Slightly lower ride height will normally tighten turn-in, and experimenting with small pinion changes can unlock better acceleration out of corners.

Why enthusiasts still choose this FW14 kit

Despite the rise of feature-rich modern kits, the Tamiya 58105 remains popular for its faithful styling and the hands-on tuning it encourages, making it rewarding for those who like to optimise setup by feel.
