Tamiya TRF101W – Preview

According to the usually well informed Kentech Blog Tamiya is working on a wide track TRF101 formula kit, called the TRF101W. Tweaks from the “narrow” TRF101 are new, wider carbon fibre front suspension arms, the upper deck and the corresponding posts can be mounted in a “front” or “rear” position to alter the chassis’ flex characteristics, the lower deck is made of thinner carbon fibre for added torsional flex and an updated roll damper design allows for quicker response. The servo mount also received a make over and the car is believed to be on show at the upcoming Shizuoka Hobby Show in May.
