This front suspension set is offered as part number F104-17 for use on Tamiya F104 chassis and is presented with a technical focus on fitment, installation workflow, and tuning applications without claiming unverified material or dimensional data.
Fit and interface: the assembly is engineered to mate with the standard F104 front mounting points and steering geometry. Prior to installation, verify compatibility of steering knuckles, hubs, and any bearings or linkage components to be reused in the F104 configuration.
Installation procedure: the set attaches to the front bulkhead and interfaces with the existing steering assembly. Remove the OEM front parts and transfer serviceable items such as turnbuckles, steering rods, and bearings as required. Adhere to the chassis manual for torque specifications and alignment procedures to prevent over-tightening and to maintain the correct range of motion.
Tuning methodology: use this unit as a repeatable platform for front-end setup experiments. It enables controlled changes to steering geometry and suspension dynamics when testing shock lengths, spring rates, or anti-roll bar settings on a 1/10 F104 on-road vehicle, with predictable effects on turn-in, mid-corner balance, and front axle weight transfer.
