I guess I was looking at it from a TCS perspective as well. But you can't go wrong with the F1R either. But like texastc said buy them both cause you just can't have one F1.

Steve Jackson could TQ and win with a box stock F104! I've done battle with him before in 1/8 onroad in Vegas. Fun times. I really want the F1R but I don't see anyone using it on asphalt.

I found my Exotek F103(old version) a bit underwhelming on asphalt on carpet it was an absolute monster though!!

I always really liked the stock F103 for asphalt.. only upgrades were aluminium diff, shock and motor mount rest was bog stock.

EXO103 and F1R are night and day different designs. Cant really compare the two. EXO103 was developed way back when foam tires were the norm. F1R was designed for Shimizu rubbers.

I know the deal with the F1R Mike and if narrow cars take off in the UK i'll put my early EXO chassis to good use as it works a treat on carpet!

I've been eyeballing the Ultra looks great, but can it run full sized 2S lipos?

I used this car to place 3rd at carpet nats. It is a solid design.

F1Ultra indeed requires shorty packs. The car is a dream to drive I must say. No problems running a boosted 13.5 with rubber tires on asphalt!



Job well done! I thought I saw side springs near the motor mount with pics of the blue car.

I used it to get 3rd in the B.

running on low grip ashphalt on foam tyres..could run rubber I guess with lipo and silver can..What would be the best 104 kit to buy?
Thanks.

the new f104wgp looks like it would be the goods for foams. it has simular dimensions as a 103(width) which suits foams. esp on low grip

I would be surprised to see a new Tamiya F1 this year, the WGP was just released and they have been fairly steady on the 1 limited edition hop-up F1 per year. For those that missed out on the X1 the regular kits and a WGP are not bad choices. The wgp front end is easily converted and f60 and mclaren kits dont need too many hop-ups to be race ready.

The F105 would likely come in a year (based on how long the f104x1 lasted) or maybe 2. F1 is getting some major rule changes in either 2013/2014. New engines. Cars will have to have their noses low to the ground (lower than this years mclaren) etc.

Well, wasn't the X1 released 2011 summer? I know I picked mines up around the end of summer. Next thing I know, I see pics of the WGP....

I'm sure there will be another Tamiya F1 at the end of 2012. Shoot, they are getting just as bad as in 1/10th touring where there is a new chassis every year.
