well, i finally got the mclaren mp 4/5b done. i couldn't decide if i wanted to go with the marlboro decals or the barcode. my girlfriend said that i shouldn't be advocating for the tobacco industry, so i decided to go with the barcode.
now that it is done i kinda wished i went with the marlboro decals, because it would have looked more complete.

rtypec, nice build. I appreciate the time it took you. Nice photos. Thank you.
1 question, does the kit not come with an aluminum motor mount?

Hey guys.... just got a few quick questions I need answered directly and I don't have time to scroll through a bunch of pages to get my answer because I'm helping prepare the track for the Nats this week out here in Jersey. If anyone knows or has a source for answers, I'd appreciate it. So....
Does anyone know if there are aftermarket parts available yet to upgrade my F104 to an X1?
I don't want to have to buy a complete new kit for a few changes that appear to be directly compatible to the car I already own.
When will they be available?
Where will they be available?
Since the X1 is Tamiya, I'm assuming it is TCS legal, correct?
Has anyone run the X1 chassis yet with rubber tyres on asphalt?
Have the improvements made a considerable difference?
I know it is still hot off the presses, so I can understand if maybe these questions are a little premature.
Thanks guys for your help.
F1 for life.

Q: Does anyone know if there are aftermarket parts available yet to upgrade my F104 to an X1?
A: Not at the moment. The kit is a very limited production run and when their done, the titanium colored X1 may become hard to find. From what I've heard, and I could be wrong, there won't be any titanium colored spare parts. However, I haven't tried contacting R10 as they seem to be able to special order ANY part (as random as it may be) directly from the Shizoka warehouse.
Q: I don't want to have to buy a complete new kit for a few changes that appear to be directly compatible to the car I already own.
A: You'll need a top deck, roll damper assembly, and the front bulkhead of the motor pod. I didn't look carefully, but I believe the carbon reinforced plastic tree isn't molded with attachment points for the roll damper.
Q: When will they be available?
A: From what I've heard, after the initial run of limited edition X1s, the parts in whatever color may integrated into the standard line up. Not sure about time frame.
Q: Where will they be available?
A: Don't know, see above.
Q: Since the X1 is Tamiya, I'm assuming it is TCS legal, correct?
A: Not sure, but I don't see why not...however, I'd ask the event organizers.
Q: Has anyone run the X1 chassis yet with rubber tyres on asphalt?
A: I can't answer that one. Pending any unforseen scheduling conflicts, I'll run mine this weekend.
Q: Have the improvements made a considerable difference?
A: Note sure...some of use used to set up our rear pods to be soft as possible and have a floppy feeling, but I will say the dampened side to to side roll feels butter smooth.
That's a whole bunch of unknowns Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

All good man... Thanks for what you have told me and keep me up-to-date.
I've been running the exotek chassis on mine and am quite pleased with it, I'd just like to have a comparable TCS legal product.
I built another car out of my old chassis and spare parts, so I want to explore other TCS options.
Thanks again.
