About this part
Formula One Chassis Kit for High-Performance On-Road Racing
The Tamiya F104 PRO II 1/10 2WD Electric Competition F1 Chassis Kit brings refined engineering and modern Formula chassis design together for a responsive, high-performance driving experience. Evolving from the original F104 Pro platform, this updated version incorporates upgraded components, improved suspension geometry, and a redesigned lower deck for sharper handling. Its lightweight direct-drive layout delivers exceptional efficiency, while the included 2017-inspired polycarbonate body adds authentic racing presence. Whether you're tuning for competition or building a precision F1 machine, the PRO II offers a rewarding blend of realism and performance.
About the F104 PRO II Chassis Kit
Enhanced Chassis Design
The F104 PRO II utilizes a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) double-deck chassis that incorporates an updated lower deck for improved rigidity and handling response. Its inline longitudinal battery placement helps centralize mass, contributing to stable cornering and predictable weight transfer. These refinements work together with the streamlined F104 layout to create a chassis that feels light, direct, and highly controllable on the track.
Refined Suspension & Drivetrain
At the rear, the PRO II employs a 1.5-millimeter-thick FRP T-bar with a U-shaped cutaway, a design inherited from the F104WGP to enhance flexibility and traction characteristics. This T-bar works in concert with friction plates and a Tamiya Racing Factory (TRF) damper to deliver smooth suspension movement and consistent grip over varying track surfaces. Power is managed through an aluminum ball differential, offering efficient rotation and tunability for competitive setups.
Realistic Bodywork & Scale Details
The included polycarbonate body captures the aerodynamic direction of 2017 Formula machines, featuring a sharp slanting nose, bulging side pontoons, and sculpted surfaces for an authentic look. Additional parts allow builders to configure alternative lower side pontoon sections to accommodate larger RC equipment when needed. Separate molded components depict the complex front and rear wings, rear diffuser, mirrors, and even a driver helmet, while semi-pneumatic synthetic rubber tires and marking stickers complete the realistic presentation.

Car was a fun build for my son. Once it was ready for paint, he was like dad, I want it to look like the REDBULL 2023 edition race car. See link below for final results... https://www.facebook.com/A6RCPaintStudio/posts/pfbid02gxkSpuGBs5c3FDYGGmUZWiptC3Sp4y99DXstpdTaRNQz3jcLdchJM1nDm5kZ4xnyl

Really nice kit the build went together really well. I was really happy how the parts fit, and lots of blue aluminum bling parts. Typical fast shipping with Amain.
Six verified owners rated this Tamiya F104 PRO II (Clear) kit 5 out of 5. Reviewers consistently describe the build as enjoyable and report that parts fit well and the kit goes together smoothly, with one noting it is easy to cut out and paint. Several praise the aluminium blue upgrade parts and the overall quality. Shipping and service from the seller are mentioned positively in two reviews. One reviewer dislikes that servo horns usually must be cut to mount the servo. One reviewer shared a link to a painted result, and one has not yet run the car on track. Reviews do not discuss performance on track in detail.
