Anyone know the difference between the 2 F104 Pro kits that are available?

TAM84106 - F104 Pro w/LW Body
TAM58431 - F104 Pro with body

i get that the 84106 includes a lightweight body - but is there any other differences in the 2 kits? I mean something that would justify a higher price I've seen it selling for online?

thanks!

I believe its just the body, and quite honestly, I dont know why you want a lightweight F1 body, but maybe im not seeing something

The only difference is the LW body included. Everything else is the same as the Pro.

not sure why anyone would want a lightweight body either - unless you're one of those fanantics that need their cars lighter??

I was just wondering if there was anything else special included in the kit since some of the write-ups I saw were 'limited edition' tag on the kit

Hi, I have with the F104Pro the following problem:

when I accelerate out of the curve or give full throttle on the straight, breaking the F104Pro from the rear.
What is the reason.
The F104Pro is so assembled as it says in the manual.

As tires, I have the Type A and Type B foam rubber and rubber tires.

Sorry for my bad English, I come from Germany and use Google to translate

what kind of lipo batteries are you all using in your F104??

i got a couple in my possession to choose from, but they are all banana plug packs - so i'm not really crazy about using them, even though a couple packs fit the chassis real good

any suggestions?

The Orion Rocket Packs and the Reedy 3400 packs both fit very well and some with a standard Tamiya connector.
