Tamiya 58559 1/10 Electric R/C Radio Control Car Series No.559 F2012 (F104) F1 Race Car assembly kitset.
This is a ready to assemble electric powered R/C model of the Ferrari F2012. The distinctive form of the body, including the complex front and rear wings as well as stepped front section, is accurately reproduced and modelers can choose from two types of side pontoons. All this scale-realism is offered on the direct drive 2WD F104 chassis platform.
The Ferrari F2012 was a central character in the dramatic 2012 Formula One season, leading the Championship from the middle of the season and staying in contention until the final race. The model faithfully recreates the F2012's distinctive form, including the upward-flowing side pontoons, complex front wing and the stepped nose which was designed to conform to regulations. Side mirrors, bargeboards and vertical fins are reproduced as separate parts. Moreover, separated side pontoon parts are also included for a highly realistic finish.
Direct Drive 2WD Chassis – The F104 chassis features a double-deck frame equipped with 2.0mm thick upper and 3.2mm thick lower FRP plates and has the battery placed in a longitudinal position to allow for a slim body design. Suspension features a simple and proven 3-point system. Front upper arms are connected to uprights with ball connectors, and the front ground clearance can be easily adjusted by altering the spacer positions. Rear suspension features the combination of friction plates and a coil spring. The highly efficient direct drive 2WD features the motor pinion directly connected to the spur gear which has a built-in ball differential. Realistic semi-pneumatic rubber tires are equipped with inner sponges for superb traction.
