Tamiya TRF102 1/10th scale formula kit – Coming soon

Tamiya is busy adding more new kits to their release list of items that will be on show at the forthcoming Shizuoka Hobby Show. Beside a new (mid motor?) 1/10th 2WD competition buggy we will also get to see the TRF102 formula kit. Rumours have it that the vehicle sports a new-type T-bar rear suspension which is meant to be better suited for rubber tyre formula racing, as it becomes more and more popular these days. The redesigned chassis is likely to see a floating battery mount to allow for improved flex, again to try and extract the maximum grip from rubber tyres while allowing for more battery and electronic layouts at the same time. It is also understood that the front end received a revision, possibly to allow for an improved adjustability compared to the TRF101. More information about Tamiya’s latest formula kit should become available in time for the Shizuoka show in mid-May.
