Introducing the Tamiya 84262 - F104W GP Edition Chassis

Modelled on classic Formula One proportions, the Tamiya 84262 - F104W GP Edition captures vintage styling while using upgraded components for dependable track performance. The kit aims to reproduce period dimensions with parts that support competitive setup work.

Stiffness and Balance Upgrades

Key structural parts include a 3.2mm carbon fiber lower deck paired with a 2.0mm rear upper deck to improve rigidity and balance during cornering. Aluminum gear case bridges add chassis support and the mix of aluminum and steel uprights helps maintain precise wheel alignment under load. A carbon front upper deck and FRP T-Bar further fine tune flex characteristics.

Optional Parts Supplied for Setup

Included option items let you tailor the car for handling, such as the F103 Carbon Reinforced Front Suspension Arm and the TRF Special Damper (F103GT) to control roll and rebound. The F104 Aluminum Diff Housing Set and the black Motor Mount increase longevity, and the Clamp Type Wheel Hub secures wheel fit for track use.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive system: Direct Drive 2WD
  • Front suspension: Coil-spring link setup
  • Rear suspension: T-bar arrangement with TRF damper
  • Ride height: Adjustable via rear gear case

For hobbyists who enjoy detailed setup and period authenticity, the Tamiya 84262 - F104W GP Edition provides a satisfying base for tuning. The mix of carbon and metal parts gives scope for precise handling tweaks.

Assembly time varies with experience but expect several hours; allow extra time for optional parts and careful setup of the suspension and gear mesh.
Use polycarbonate paint designed for lexan shells applied in thin layers, and mask carefully to preserve scale details.
Soft to medium compound touring or F1-style tyres are common choices; test compounds to match grip levels and track temperature.
