Tamiya F104 options, tools & general parts

Tamiya have released a number of F104 options as well as some general parts and tools. Starting with the F104 parts, the aluminium upper suspension mount further fine tunes the chassis with the ability to choose from 4 different camber positions depending on how it is installed, while a new aluminium servo mount helps add greater steering rigidity and sharper steering response to your formula 1 chassis. Adding to the company’s updated TRF tool range, there are 2 new Philips screw drivers with medium and large tips and a medium sized flat head screw driver. For general use there are a set of 5×5 and 5x8mm fluorine coated ball connectors that ensure the smoothest surface for less friction loss, while for looks there are new sets of 3×8 and 3x6mm aluminum screws with flange design that helps create a more secure mounting surface for items such as lexan wings and steering servos.
