The Tamiya 58431 - 1/10 F104 PRO Chassis Kit follows on from the F103 and brings contemporary refinements to the Formula model line. It is engineered to reflect true Formula proportions while offering upgrades that support on-track performance.
Key structural parts are machined from carbon fiber to keep the chassis rigid and looking sharp. The set includes front and rear aero pieces plus the original body, matched to tyre and body measurements for accurate scale presentation.
The kit uses a 2WD Direct Drive setup valued for smooth power delivery and simplicity. The battery fits lengthwise for a low silhouette. Front suspension utilises a link-type coil spring and the rear combines a friction plate and T-bar with a TRF damper to refine cornering balance.
Maintenance is eased by an aluminium differential housing that is accessible without complex disassembly. The rear gear case has height adjustments to cater for new tyre sizes, and the isometric steering rod alongside a longitudinal servo mount helps achieve consistent steering feel.
The Tamiya F104 PRO combines authentic styling and practical adjustability, making it appealing to hobbyists who prioritise realistic driving dynamics and easy servicing.
