I think it is the same body. It came with arms, legs, head, body and steering wheel.
The face really resembles Dan Gurney, but there are limits to everything. I am sure I will damage the head on my first outing, losing visor and goggle, scratching the face and so on. So no need to do surgery and change the face to Jim Clark.
But for everyone who makes an Eagle F1 car this driverhead will be perfect!

I'd be buying a Tamiya or even the 3racing kit. Had a look at the HPI F10 as a friend had one and its quality was not that great. You get what you pay for.

I was looking at white silk. Everything else seams to be woven too thick. I will hit the local crafts store, they have given me free samples before.

Tech Regular
Finished the 1978 Lotus and I found a 1978 Ferrari 312t3 which is on its way. Ready for some 1970s F1 racing action. I'll probably get the Wolf also, while it is still available. I just ordered these SOFT rears to help with the oversteer. http://www.rcmart.com/shimizu-racing...l?cPath=35_958

Some answers-Finally
Actually Ned, I think they are the right length, I don't think they are too long at all. They definitely look the closest to the real thing of anything else! The standard F104 arms make the front too narrow, and I suspect the F103 arms would be too wide; but these Tech arms look good! What does this make the front width at? What is your rear width? Hopefully the front is not wider than the rear. What was involved in adapting the front uprights and hubs to these Tech arms? If you can change the angle to make the arms go up, that would be cool!
One last question for now: What width are your HPI VTA wheels/tires? Are you using the actual 31mm wide wheels? They make 26mm for the front and 31mm for the rear; can't tell from your pictures whether your rears are wider than your fronts.

With the GFX conversion to use the VTA stuff the F103, F109, and the Tech arms all come out at ~188mm, as close as I can measure. Rear is the same, I could widen or narrow the front a few mm with different hexes, I'm still using the 3R brake disks on the front. I think I can cut off a few mm of the upper a-arm where the two 4mm screws go thru and them bend the arms up which might give me a little camber too.
Yes I'm using standard VTA 26 and 31 mm front and rear wheels, tires.
