Tamiya 58475 1/10 F104 Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MPS-24 RC On Road Kit

The prestigious McLaren enters RC racing

This is an electric radio-controlled car assembly kit of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-24, the machine of the prestigious F1 team McLaren, which achieved third place in the constructors' championship at the 2009 F1 Grand Prix. The highly detailed scale finish is impressive, with a complex front wing, a distinctive rear wing with notches, side fins and deflectors extending from the underpanel, and front wheel fairings that do not rotate while driving, just like the real car. The side pontoons can be assembled with or without tapering. Two types of markings, number 1 and number 2, are available for the car body and helmet. The shiny silver body is sure to attract attention on the RC circuit.

Direct drive 2WD with sharp driving, F104 chassis

The slim chassis with a vertically mounted battery is a double-deck frame made of 2.0mm upper and 3.2mm lower FRP. The front suspension is independent left and right with kingpin/coil springs, while the rear uses a rigid 3P suspension that controls the flex of the FRP plate with friction plates and coil springs. The camber angle of the front suspension can be changed by rearranging the upper mount parts. A highly efficient direct drive 2WD system in which the motor pinion directly drives the spur gear. The spur gear has a built-in ball differential that creates a limited slip effect. The tires are made of hollow rubber for a realistic feel and are also equipped with inner sponges.

Features

• The tires are made of realistic hollow rubber with built-in inner sponge. Just like the real thing, the wheel fairings do not rotate while driving and are also included as parts.
• Side fins, deflectors, and mirrors are also reproduced. Side pontoons can be assembled with or without tapering.
• The rear view is also impressively detailed, with a distinctive rear wing and diffuser, both of which feature large cutouts at the top of the rear.
