Even the custom/personalized jobs look great. All of you guys are inspiring. I'm getting ready to start working on my next F1 body for the V2 and you guys don't make it easy....thinking what to do......
Perhaps you could build a diorama for the new queen

Can you even tell you have the counterweight?

Adding a steel axle always locks in a foam tire car - though it can make the car "stuck in the mud", so I assume more weight is going to help on rubber.

Vyger, have you used your GN-Fusion batteries yet ?? I just got a set of them and can't be happier. Really good guy to deal with too.

To actually power one of those RC cars rather than provide weight so they don't get blown off the shelf !
Yes, I paid attention to all those "shelf queen" comments poor Vyger gets ( although probably deserved....Sorry Dude....you can't hide all those pretty things when you're always providing pictures )

I was looking at this, does it have a replacable reciever?
That car in your link is a 1/12 scale, rather than a 1/10 scale which is what you are viewing in this thread.

Thats what you get when your infamous ! I've been around here for awhile but spent most of my time with touring cars. I've now come to my senses and realized all the really cool people race F1 !! Seriously though, you've pretty much been 1 of the big voices for rc f1. I consider it an honor to join the ranks of your many friendly antagonists.

I like the counterweight for outdoors, not sure its a good carpet hop up. I took it off at the Chicago TCS race, and the car felt much better. I ran it at the Nats last year and had the best driving F1 car I have ever had out there. The thing to keep in mind is that its not a one size fits all, its not going to fix a bad car at every track, I think its more of a fine tuning part.
