Next step is to replace the pretty old yet not completely worn out tyres...i read about a lot of combinations for the F103 e.g. Shimizu 541 front 545 back combination? Which sums up to 66$ plus shipping for 2 sets...of course it seems not that big, but i guess they are competitive and that would be a little overkill

I didn't even realize Pit was making F103 tires...which brings to question...is the 54X series of tires the same compounds as the 57X series for the F104 just made to F103 size or are they different? I've got a F103 or 2 I wouldn't mind getting back on the track if I could just find decent tires for it.

If you look here at the list of Pit Shimizus tyres you can see the same compounds are used for the same last number for each tyre.

Pit have been making F1 tyres for years before the F104 came along. Yes they are the same, although there will be very slight handling differences due to the different tyre sizes.

Good to know it is just the last number that designates them. Now I can get my F103 running again too

I have the Wolf WR1 that's out currently. It's an F104W chassis that has the WIDE rear rubber tires. Are there some sticky TCS type tires that will work for me? The kit tires are scale, but are not as sticky as I'd like.

The 54X series rear tires are wide...they just aren't as tall as the stock F104W tires.
Mac, I assume that's the Pit Shimizu tires on your F104W in the pic? If so can we get a shot from further away to get a better idea how the smaller tires look with the overall scale of the body.
Thanks

i got hot and went on ebay yesterday, got 2 PS-0547 and 2 PS-0545 in an auction for about 30% less than normal any advice how to mount them when they are here?

Being smaller in diameter might help my gearing a bit too.
