The F1R
The next evolution in the Exotek F1 line of chassis for the F104 and F103. In development since winter 2011 to bring you the best Tamiya chassis option for the rapidly emerging F1 class.
Race proven features include;
– Link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip. The rear suspension pod includes ball links and reinforced easy set side links.
– Optimized battery and electronics location. The battery, esc and receiver are mounted as far back as possible to maximize the rear weight bias for improved rear traction and stability under acceleration and braking.
– New bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response. This coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car.
– New alloy shock mount. This weighted design not only looks great but it serves a vital function as well. The weight of this part creates more rear weight bias for more on power grip and creates body roll so that it also creates more cornering/ lateral grip. On top of this it provides secure battery mounting and much easier battery removal by simply loosening the 2 mounting screws. The battery can then be lifted straight up and out without interference from the ESC or receiver.
– New design will accept standard 7.4v lipos or the new breed of lightweight ‘shorty’ 7.4v lipos!
– Includes black anodised rear pod pass-thru dampener and new mounting set.
– Includes Associated side pod springs and mounts. These are used to tune for steering response and pod level (tweak).
– US made premium 3.0mm quasi weave carbon fiber is used throughout.
– Rear chassis channel lets you cleanly route the ESC receiver plug directly under the battery to the receiver.
– Includes carbon servo brace for the F104.
– Compatible with any Tamiya F104 or F103 kit.
