Fit and Finish Upgrade with Tamiya 54400 Plated Wheels

The Tamiya 54400 Plated Wheel set adds a tidy metal-plated finish to F104 models while remaining fully compatible with sponge tyre setups. These wheels combine a classic look with practical durability for regular track sessions.

Compatibility Notes and Recommended Use

Designed for multiple F104 variants, this wheel set works with F104, F104 PRO, and F104X1 chassis. It also accepts Pit Shimizu rubber tyres commonly chosen by racers. The plated coating helps extend service life and keeps wheels looking consistent lap after lap.

Do these wheels require spacers for proper alignment?

In most F104 setups no extra spacers are needed, but check your hub clearance and toe settings when swapping wheel types.

Are these wheels heavier than standard plastic rims?

Metal-plated wheels can feel slightly heavier than plain plastic parts, but the difference is usually negligible for club level F104 racing.

Will the plated surface affect tyre adhesion?

No. The plating does not interfere with tyre grip; ensure tyres are clean and properly seated for best adhesion.
