Overview
Tamiya's F104 Pro II is an unassembled formula-style R/C kit with an all-new body design based on an F1 car. The listing calls it a lightweight, streamlined direct drive chassis with a lower deck and upgrade parts.
A direct drive chassis, ball bearings and slick tires aim at sharp on-road handling, and building it is part of the hobby. The limit is the long shopping list needed to finish it, plus an age field that is clearly wrong.
Who it's for
Adult hobbyists with R/C parts, tools and paint on hand get a chassis kit to build and finish themselves. Newcomers wanting a complete set, or anyone buying for a young child, should look at ready-to-run models, since the age fields conflict.
Pros and cons
- Ball bearings and direct drive
- Rubber slick tires
- Body and manual in the kit
- Builds mechanical skills
- Radio, servo, speed control and motor not included
- Battery, charger and paint not included
- Age fields conflict in listing
- Body arrives unfinished
Performance notes
Direct drive and ball bearings cut drivetrain losses, and slick rubber tires grip on smooth on-road surfaces. Final speed and handling depend on the motor, battery and radio the builder adds, because none ship in the kit. The listed maximum speed assumes a suitable setup.
