Tamiya F104 Pro ll Full Build… 

Awesome piece of kit and glad you were able to put something together with Modelsport.

I got this kit for Christmas and i'm also at this stage. I have all the electronics installed and i'm planning on painting it similar to the 2018 McLaren orange and blue F1 car. Can't wait to see yours!

Glenn, those tire decals really make the car look like the real F1 cars of today. For a while it was really hard to get these in Canada so when they became available I had to get it. I was so impressed also and loved the build so much I bought a second one. Looking forward to seeing it done...but I think I already have, and it looks a m a z i n g my friend. 😉😉

Ive built a couple, they pretty fun and different forsure. Cheers Glenn. Gauranga 🙂

Hi Glenn modelsport is to me is one of the best rc shop in Yorkshire good build mate 👍👍👍

Glen, appreciate the f1 build. Something different is always appreciated

Stunning looking thing! Those tyres Glenn!!!! I would love to see that legendary black and gold Jps theme!

There is alot of raw carbon fibre on this years f1 cars. Ive seen videos on "dipping" real car parts to give a carbon look. Im not sure if it works on the smaller stuff. But the McLaren comment seems like a winner

I definitely want to get one of these now to go with my TC01 and my C11

Glennnnnn,,,, far out, now i need a F1, haha, great vid, Cheers mate!

Very nice my friend! Certainly much different from the buggies

Also Glenn, a few companies make “2022 updates” to the F104. Basically, it makes the F104 look like a 2022/2023 F1 car. I think Exotek have one. You do have to buy everything separately but the larger “modern” F1 style wheels and 2022 aero definitely update the F104 and TRF F1 chassis. As far as paint goes, perhaps reach out to Modelsport and see if they can ship some stickers out to you to put onto the car and go box art with it. I think it would be more special that way by tying your love of RC into your own history. Nothing against the Star & Flame graphics but I think if you have too much of the same design in your collection, it’s going to drive you mad.

Oooh I like that. I’m looking forward to seeing it running

wow!

G'day Glenn wow wow wow that thing is sick mate Tamiya legends paint job for sure mate loved the build video 👍👍

Superb Glenn as always 🤩 think I need to get to Otley to get more stuff! I’ve never built an F1, this makes me want to get one. Love the simplicity

Cool car glen.

Looks like a nice build Glenn, never had a go with an F1 RC, new itch.... 😀 👍

Looking at pictures through a Google search you have those screws correct on the front, great video as always.

Been looking forward to this!

It looks really cool and I am sure once the body is on there it is going to be super cool!! The Tyrrell P34 has a similar set up to the rear, not all the cool blue bits but same setup. It work really well! That is a car you should have as well! I really love the look of the 6 wheeler!

Awesome build Glen,😊❤

Awesome! I got my old OG F103 next on the table to look over.

Cool caaaaaa!

Leave the wheels black Glenn, it looks very cool allready, just a very nice coloured body and it will be awesome

Love this kit! Really enjoyed building mine. I’m taking it to an indoor track next month, really looking forward to seeing how it drives 😃

No no no! You can't change "and once again thank you for stopping by"....😮😜 Great video! 👍👍

Before today and watching your video I never would have considered an F1 RC build. Can't wait to see what you choose to do with the body in part 2. Cheers!

Great fun build Glenn!!

Great job looks awesome

Love your builds no time lapse just one stage at a time many thanks 🙏

Super cool build. Looking forward to your paint video 😁

Is what it is... What a thing..

I bought my 1st F104 just as a display piece. Then i made it run and was super impressed with how well it did it my parking lot . fun cars

Nice chassis Glenn! I was going to mention you had the rear wing skewiff but I think you beat me to it and fixed it.

Nice. Did you get the hopups yet..worth every penny is the carbon drive shaft. That saves a bunch

Great now I want one myself, that will be another one to add to the wishlist. I need more funds. 😀

Simple but neat cars. Tires look awesome.

I was waiting for your upload😊

I was driving one of these and ran over a nail at full speed, it punched all the way through the thickest part of the carbon floor and took two of us a great deal of effort to pull it out. The amount of force that must have taken is insane. 😂

I think it would look absolutely incredible in the same livery as you did your Christmas lunch box give away. Another awesome build Glenn really enjoyed it.. I know whichever shell design you go with it will look awesome..take care mate keep going..👍🇬🇧😎

I cant help but think if you enjoyed building this a schumacher icon F1 car would be even more fun.

My son and I built one of these a while ago….I will check and see if those two bolts are sticking up like on yours.

Love the build I work for Mclaren so if you fancy an old school livery I’m sure I can sort loads of pics 👍

Those F1 chassis' are superb bits of kit, I've never had one but I would be temped if I had somewhere to race it. I can't wait to see the bodyshell finished, I'm sure whatever colour scheme you choose will be awesome👍👍

Carbon chassis and carbon axel would be a nice upgrade if someone does them ...looks like an enjoyable build Glenn . Looking forward to seeing this one run 😎👌🔥🔥🔥 also the shell turned out really nice like what you done with it suits the car 😜👍

Really cool chassis, I have wanted to add some F1 cars to my collection, even if just to have them as shelf queens they look super awesome 👍👍

Cool kit.

Jordan F1 livery (B&H), different and looks great 👍

Well picked one ùp this morning and can't wait to start building it, not sure we're I am going to use it to be honest.. Awesome video as usual 👍

Nice bit of kit. Did you find out if those screws were right on the front end? Body wise, a B188 or B189 tribute would be awesome 👍❤

Wow...finally discovered a chassis kit that appears to be even easier to build than the venerable TT-02...lol The rear suspension is 'interesting', because it's, essentially, the same as the rear suspension design on 2WD Mini-Z cars.

Superb build Glenn, i may look into adding one myself ? There’s nothing worse than deciding how to paint the shell. But im looking forward to seeing how it turns out 😎

I grew up in Guiseley, boy do I know Modelsport!

carbon is nice on some stuff, but prefer Tamiya FRP, F1, might be taking a sort of hold, you know a brake from all the TT02 stuff, watching your old stuff, plenty of content, keep coasting, no problem with that, sleeper chassis folks will be looking for when it goes away

It’s been on my list for ages but oos here in the U.K. . Think I’d go Ferrari red . And the tires aren’t foam ? Goodness knows where I’ll run it though 😂

❤❤tq

No lowering shims required 😂? Happy rcing my friend 😜👌

Glenn, I know this is Tamiya Legends and not the other channel but… You’re lacking a genuine drift car in your collection! Currently building an MST RMX 2.0 “Classic” kit and even though it’s NOT a Tamiya kit, it’s very much LIKE Tamiya in the way you build it. Funny thing is, MST sell most of their RTR and ATR kits with Tamiya bodies so you can put MST bodies on any Tamiya chassis and as stated, Tamiya bodies on MST chassis. RWD drift may not be your thing but if you do decide to get one, the MST would be my choice as stated above, even if you only build a rolling display piece.

First 😂😊

Dude, I had a gt motor in a 101 or 102 they're difficult to control. You let off the throttle.and the thing spun out. Real interesting to drive. Apparently the silver can is plenty power because the older f1 cars was a direct drive or something etc

Glen as much as I like those star decals that u have done on some of ur other cars. I know my opinion doesn't hold a candle among all the other comments that I'm sure u will get. I think a pearl blue with it broken up with some platinum silver. Then u add some some red Tamiya legends decals to it maybe a few of those chrome Tamiya decals which I'm pretty sure u still have left. Just think of those color combo's. But I'm asking. Please don't go with the star burst decals again. Not that it looks bad at all on ur buggies. But I just can't picture it on an F1. Or Google some real F1 cars from around the same yr that kit is from. See what stands out. But either way u decide to go im behind u 1000% and u need to hurry and get that video out to us before the weekend is over👍

Will the gears handle a high speed brushless motor? Are there optional steel gear sets? Brushed motors are pretty slow and inefficient.

Is this a good kit to start RC building?

Any thoughts on why this kit is out of stock at most hobby stores? Getting ready for F105?

Hey thanks for the video. (New sub) if you've never built, how difficult is this to build?

What a superb looking kit, it's just a shame that tamiya didn't use black hex screws, it would just added a little bit more of a clean cut to the car.

I bought an aluminum motor mount, but the bearings don't fit. What size bearing do I need and the screws don't fit? Please let me know

Where can you purchase the Pirelli tyre decals??? I can't find them anywhere :)

It’s sad that Tamiya never made a 1/12 scale 4wd pan car

Does it come with a body or do you have to buy it separately

Did Tamiya actually supply bearings in the F1?

if you did choose a livery what would you do?

Box art it.

I would do redbull

Where can i get the decals for tire 😢

Why is it Tamiya continues to equipped their rc vehicles with brushed motor, whereas, nowadays, brushless system is the preferred in the majority in stock set up?

Put a brushless setup in it and RIP

Show it running for fk sake
