Optimise F104 flex with the two-piece upper deck

The Tamiya 54278 Separate-Type Upper Deck Set provides a two-piece construction that reduces chassis rigidity, helping the F104 hold more consistent contact with the track. This setup lets you tune flex to suit tighter corners or faster sweepers without heavy modifications.

Why a separate upper deck helps balance

Splitting the upper deck gives finer control over how the chassis bends under load, which can improve handling feel. It lets drivers tailor roll and bite characteristics for better corner performance.

Works well across different track textures

Whether running on smooth tarmac or textured club surfaces, this upper deck lets you adapt the chassis response to maintain traction and improve predictability through changing sections.

Yes. Basic tools and patience are all you need; follow the manual and check clearances before your first run.
Lower grip tyres can benefit from increased chassis compliance, while stickier compounds may need less flex. Try a couple of tyre choices to see which matches your setup.
Some change is possible; a softer upper deck can slightly affect high speed stability, so balance front and rear settings after fitting.
