The Tamiya 58431 - 1/10 F104 PRO Chassis Kit is a clear progression from the F103, built to capture the look and handling of a Formula car while fitting modern hobby expectations. It blends accurate scale cues with practical features for track use.
Carbon fiber parts provide a neat appearance and structural strength. The kit ships with front and rear wings plus the original body shell, all sized to correspond with the listed tire and body measurements for realistic track proportions.
A 2WD Direct Drive arrangement gives the F104 PRO responsive acceleration and a tidy drivetrain. The battery is mounted longitudinally to help keep the profile slim, and the suspension consists of a front link-type coil spring setup and a rear friction plate with T-bar and TRF damper to control handling.
Service-friendly touches include an aluminum differential housing that is easy to reach during maintenance. The rear gear case height can be adjusted to match newer tyre sizes, and the isometric steering rod with longitudinal servo mounting delivers accurate steering response.
With balanced engineering and straightforward serviceability, the Tamiya F104 PRO suits enthusiasts who seek realistic Formula performance and a tidy maintenance routine.
