Exotek Racing’s new EXO104 is a high performance, lightweight chassis conversion that gives the F104 the competitive edge thanks to the improved chassis work and floating rear pod. Using actual components from the World Champion Yokomo 1/12th, they have re-engineered the rear pod into a 5 link floating rear pod for superior rear traction and stability. The kit includes a VCS through shaft center oil shock to perform tweak free side dampening together with a carbon fibre 1 piece top deck to reduce tweak and allow just enough flex to maintain proper traction.
