The Tamiya 58431 - 1/10 F104 PRO Chassis Kit advances the F103 lineage with refined materials and a focus on accurate Formula styling. The design balances scale realism with practical upgrades for track use.
Key chassis pieces are carbon fibre for a neat finish and increased rigidity. The package includes front and rear wing elements plus the original body shell, all scaled to reflect the given tyre and body dimensions.
The car uses a 2WD Direct Drive mechanism for clean power transfer and dependable acceleration. A longitudinal battery placement maintains a slim body profile. The front employs a link-type coil spring, while the rear uses a friction plate and T-bar with a TRF damper to hone handling balance.
Maintenance is simplified by an aluminium differential housing that can be serviced without major disassembly. The rear gear case has height adjustment to match current tyre options, and the isometric steering rod combined with a longitudinal servo mount gives repeatable steering feel for setup work.
The Tamiya F104 PRO suits model engineers and racers who prioritise authentic Formula handling and easy upkeep, thanks to its thoughtful layout and build quality.
