Tamiya 58281 1/10 Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 TB-01 Model Kit  [58281]

Authentic Rally Scale: Tamiya 58281 Focus RS

The Tamiya 58281 brings the Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 to 1/10 scale with careful attention to race-era detail. This kit reflects the car's competition history from the 2001 WRC season, including factory updates like engine refinements and the switch from Michelin to Pirelli tyres. The period livery and sponsor decals make it a striking model for display and track use.

Balanced TB-01 Chassis Engineering

The TB-01 chassis features a longitudinal motor mount and a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain to deliver steady propulsion. Built from durable ABS with a bathtub style frame, it provides a rigid platform for driving dynamics. Wheel dampers and independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension deliver controlled handling, and the aluminium motor heat sink helps maintain thermal stability under load.

Setup Notes for Club and Rally Tracks

Begin with basic tyre and spring changes to match your local surface, then refine camber and toe for cornering performance. The TB-01 responds well to incremental adjustments, so small changes often yield big improvements in lap consistency and overall balance.

As a replica and runner, the Tamiya 58281 Ford Focus RS WRC 2001 pairs authentic styling with a capable TB-01 chassis, suited to those who enjoy dialling in setup for different surfaces.
