Overview of the F104 PRO Black Special race chassis

The Tamiya 84170 F104 PRO Black Special represents a race-oriented take on the classic F104 layout. Built with a focus on low weight and component quality, it appeals to racers who demand predictable handling and straightforward setup options.

Designed for precise handling

The carbon upper and lower decks provide a rigid platform that benefits high-speed stability and cornering precision. The kit's Hi-Torque Servo Saver and 04 Module Spur Gear refine steering input and maintain drivetrain efficiency for consistent track performance.

High quality option components

Included option parts such as a black anodised aluminium motor mount, diff housing, carbon rear shaft and TRF-style damper parts give tuners solid upgrade points. Sealed ball bearings and aluminium pivot posts add to reliability during intense running.

Lightweight body and aero focus

The lightweight polycarbonate shell cuts weight and helps manage airflow over the car, which improves straight-line speed and reduces lift in fast corners for tighter lap times.

This F104 PRO Black Special is aimed at seasoned hobbyists and racers who want a tuning-friendly platform with premium parts and a light, race-ready body.

Assembly requires patience and some experience with precision parts; careful attention to bearing fit and gear mesh will pay off on the track.
Begin with a neutral damper setup and medium roll stiffness, then fine tune spring rates and damper length to match your driving style and the surface.
The kit uses sealed ball bearings and aluminium hardware in key locations; replacing worn bearings with quality sealed units keeps performance consistent.
