Exotek F1R2 Pro conversion kit

ExotekF1R2-01

Available soon from Exotek is the F1R2 Pro conversion kit for the Tamiya F104 and F103. The follow-up model of the F1R received a make-over in order to create a chassis that is not overly complex but strong and consistent. The chassis kit makes use of what Exotek call a hybrid link technology, it basically combines all positive aspects of the classical T-bar suspension with the responsiveness and tuning possibilities of a link-type car to create a platform with improved bump absorption capabilities making it ideal for rubber tyre racing. The new rear pod geometry makes for more progressive damping and increased forward bite while the new twin side dampers allow for equal side-to-side dampening.
