Well, it only happen once, and I think the added vibration on the platic outdrives contributed plus the big foot I hit on the sweeper. I just installed my aluminum outdrives and shimming hopefully will help.

Thanks for keeping track of the counts.

I thought I was the only one with nothing better to do.
How many now?

Hey guys, just had a quick question.

According to Tamiya USA, "All bodies must use the wings that are supplied in the kit. Mixing and matching ABS plastic wings between different bodies is not allowed. Part number 53470 (Lightweight Wing) and 53604 (Racing Wing Set) or any future optional wing set is allowed to be used for any sedan or sports car body in certain classes".

So essentially any 'legal' body for an FF03 is allowed to use these optional wings correct? Is this what most are doing? I have seen some kit ABS wings that are awfully small and would like to run a different wing for some more rear down force.

I just received a shipment of Yeah Racing gears for the FF03 and TRF201.

All Delrin. Will be interesting to see how they perform
