Tamiya F104 Pro chassis

Tamiya have released details of the follow up to their ultra successful F103 chassis, with the release of the F104 Pro. Following the theme seen in HPI’s launch of the Formula Ten, the F104 pro, has an ultra realistic body shell and front and rear wings, and it too is based on last years F1 cars. It is of course a rear wheel drive, with drive direct from the motor and has the battery pack mounted along the centre line of the chassis and the whole layout seems very compact. The car features a carbon upper deck and rear shaft and has lots of blue anodized TRF performance parts as standard, including the car’s centrally mounted shock absorber. Another great looking entry into this class.
