I guess carbon would be a better compromise for racing on both surfaces. Or convince the wife I need two cars.

It's not a perfect fit, the 14 body is easier, but I guess you can drive with it.





Any tips on getting the F1-15 to fit better? Set the body more to the rear?

Honestly if you want both it is a really easy change between the 2 chassis. the front end and rear pod comes off as a clip. all that is left is electronics mainly. I can convert my car over in 15-20 minutes. setup shouldn't change much between the two chassis as well.

the 4mm is the total number of spacing between the arm and spindle.
I run the tamiya aluminum spindles that are shorter and would start at 5mm.

It was a quick rush job on the paint because the other wont be back from the painters in time. fits on the car really well though!! we shall see how it handles

Josh got his car dialed. I tried it this weekend, very good!
