Tamiya F104 Graphite Upper Deck LiPo Friendly - F104-12/WO by 3Racing  [F104-12/WO]

Graphite top plate for F104 racing chassis

This precision graphite upper deck is made for the Tamiya F104 chassis and described as LiPo usable by the product name. It functions as a structural top plate that works with the chassis rails and battery bay to influence torsional rigidity and battery clearance without changing drivetrain or electronics layout.

Compatibility and fit

• The part name indicates compatibility with the Tamiya F104 platform; check that the F104 mounting holes and battery bay align with this deck before final fitting.
• The deck is stated as usable with LiPo batteries, so measure your LiPo pack to confirm clearance and that connectors and straps remain accessible in the F104 battery area.

Installation notes

• Fit this deck using the chassis factory mounting points; position it to match screw hole alignment and fasten screws loosely at first to verify even fit across the car.
• Once alignment and battery clearance are confirmed, tighten screws progressively to seat the deck evenly and avoid introducing twist or preload into the chassis rails.

Tuning role and handling effects

• As a graphite top plate, this deck typically raises torsional stiffness compared with thinner or flexible top plates, which can sharpen turn-in and reduce chassis flex under load.
• Shifts in stiffness and any change in battery placement will affect the car's centre of gravity and balance; expect small handling changes and recheck shock and swaybar settings after installation.

This component is an aftermarket hop-up for the Tamiya F104 chassis intended to support LiPo battery installation while adjusting chassis stiffness; confirm fit and evaluate handling on test runs.
