Unveiling the Tamiya F104 Ver.II v.2 Black Special: A Masterpiece in RC Engineering
The Tamiya 84336 - 1/10 RC F104 Ver.II v.2 Pro Chassis Kit Black Special is a testament to Tamiya's dedication to innovation and precision in the RC world. This edition, distinctively anodized in black, maintains the high-performance standards set by its predecessor, the F104 Version 2. The transformation from blue to black aluminum parts not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also adds a layer of sophistication to this already impressive kit.
Advanced Engineering with Pivot Ball Link Rear Suspension
The F104 Ver.II v.2 chassis introduces the Pivot Ball Link Rear (PBLR) suspension system, a significant upgrade from the conventional 3-point T-bar rear suspension. This system, inspired by the RM-01 chassis, allows for precise adjustments to the chassis' pitch and roll dynamics. The inclusion of a center pivot ball, aluminum pitch damper, and roll damper ensures that the chassis maintains optimal traction and superior cornering capabilities at high speeds. This setup is complemented by the established F104 front suspension, featuring king pin coil springs that ensure stability and control.
Performance and Customization Potential
Designed for on-road racing, the F104 Ver.II v.2 Pro Chassis Kit is constructed with a robust carbon fiber plate chassis, providing an excellent balance between strength and weight. The assembly kit requires additional components such as a 2-channel radio gear, 7.2V battery, wheels, tires, body set, motor, and ESC, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to customize their setup for optimal performance. The adjustable camber, toe angles, and shock angles further enhance the tunability, making this kit ideal for racers who demand precision and adaptability.
