Tamiya F104VII F1 Chassis Kit

Tamiya F104VII F1

The new F104 version II chassis incorporates a Pivot Ball Link Rear Suspension (PBLR) like the one found on the RM-01 chassis. Compared to the previous 3-point T-bar rear suspension system, this new setup enables more precise adjustments of the chassis’ pitch and roll characteristics. Furthermore, the PBLR suspension system features a center pivot ball, an aluminum pitch damper to temper chassis pitch movement, and an aluminum roll damper and side links to control chassis roll.

The new layout also increases overall traction and provides greater high speed cornering ability. The proven F104 front suspension remains intact, which features king pin coil springs for the suspension set up.
