What shock springs are those? They look nice and skinny...

I like the up-grades. Here's what I'm gonna try @ the track next time out. I've been reading about 103 front ends switching over to our 104s. Wala, here's a 3Racing hop-up 103 front susp. on my 104. I couldn't use the susp. pins from 104, too tall for 103 front wheels. The good thing is my 104 foams still fit bearing wise. The body mod was no big. I think it looks only O.K. Notice my front end wheel base has increased substantially. Have to get the calipers out! We'll see how she performs???

The spring is from my old Yokomo shock.

You have some major ackerman going on there. May not be all that good with that much.

the major 104 issues, squareing corners mid corner push, can't be solved by making the front WIDER....that takes away steering

You really need to run f103 rear tires to get the rear width to be close to the front.

Ackerman looks fine, looks like most 1/12 cars out there

Just wondering has anyone played around with the steering exponential to make the car less sensitive around center? I have a feeling if the steering is linear that you're inherently going to get a squaring of turns with the design of the F104...

Looking to get an F104. But I want the F60 Bodyset.

Do I go with the F104 PRO or the F104 with the F60 bodyset?

Thanks

O.K. here's what happened when I just test ran her,
But first, my tire combo: In the rear = Tamiya F103 rubbers (B), Up front = Tamiya F103 foams.

Now, I started by triming, once trimed I gunned it straight. I then turned to the right real sharp. It handled the turn, except instead of being straight once letting go of my steering, it turned to the left on it's own. My trim somehow reversed. So I re-trimed so that I was straight again. Gunned it straight again, except I turned real sharp to the left. Again, should be straight after the release, but instead it turned to the left, on it's own.

Any suggestions????:flam ing:

Bad servo, servo not centering...

zpmhinojosa

Any one else? Gotta figure this out before I get called out.

I agree that a bad servo is the most likely cause, however it would be worth the time to verify that the t-bar is pivoting freely with the battery in place, as well as checking the kingpins to make sure they aren't binding. Pan cars are sensitive creatures!

I just got this servo. I'm a hopeful, I'm gonna do the hand work and switch back the the original 104 front, because this didn't happen hours before I made the switch. Man, I have alot to learn!

I think I posted about this a while back. Playing with the radio is 80% of what changed my 104 from turd to dialed. My servo speed is reduced and the negative exponential took the twitch out of it. HUGE difference from transmitter adjustments.

Type B fronts, black front springs, and no rear spring rounded out the package. I'm pretty happy with how it handles now.
