Gain setup flexibility with the split upper deck

The Tamiya 54278 Separate-Type Upper Deck Set uses a two-piece layout to reduce overall chassis rigidity, helping the F104 keep better contact with the surface through bends. It is a practical upgrade for those wanting more precise chassis tuning.

What the separate design delivers

The split deck adjusts the car's flex pattern so weight transfer and grip can be tuned more easily. This can lead to a more predictable entry and exit in turns when settings are optimised.

Suited to circuit and club racing

On different circuit surfaces, being able to alter upper deck stiffness helps maintain traction and can improve cornering consistency during longer runs.

Rules vary by club; check class regulations first, but many racers use upper deck changes for setup tuning rather than performance advantage alone.
Start with small adjustments to ride height and front/rear roll balance, then fine tune camber and toe once the new flex is established.
No special maintenance is required beyond normal checks; inspect fasteners and mounting points after initial runs to ensure everything stays tight.
