may I ask a few questions
What bodyshell did you use?

What bodyshell did you use?
What motor and did you use the standard gearing?
What surface were you on?

I'll be waiting for my local tamiya races to officiate this class before buying a F103GT. Probably next year would be the year.

Hi Guys,
Just want to post that we now have spares in stock for the F103GT
Tamiya F103GT Parts
I sure hope Tamiya makes this a TCS class (maybe it can be the new GT-3 class)

Hey guys, happy to report that I have garnered positive results at Tamiya track yesterday.
Fred M. of Tamiya test drove my set-up and he was well please with how the car performed. Getting driving tips from Fred with this car was a big plus as well. TY
Rumors has it as well that it will make it as an invitational class at TCS events.
Check the VIDEO here for a short look of the cars handling.

I'm also happy to say that I finally got the kit dialed. I was disappointed last time I ran it always oversteering and spinning out.
Now my setup is front 26mm kit included tires,wheels,insert with add'l 0.05mm red hex spacer and 24mm 32r with medium inserts with add'l 1mm silver hex spacer. I loosened the ball dif another 1/4 turn from the manual and placed the T4 spacer above the steering knuckles.
Ran a 23 turn tamiya with 2400 tamiya stick pack and runtime was over 20 mins. Motor was really hot so I'll be getting that f103gt alum motormount. I also used a tamiya 350z calsonic body.
I'm impressed! I launched the thing thru corners trying to spin it out but it wouldn't! Feels like a super light touringcar. The people there watching were amazed to see a 1/10 2wd touring running with awd. My kit was box stock after all. Finally a low budget K.I.S.S. rc for $85.
I just dont like the gearing. Still too low for a 23 turn. I can't fit anything bigger than 14T with that 0.6 module. I think 4-4.5 for a 23 turn would better. I'm switching to 17 turn actopower for the stock gearing next time.
If I switch to 3600-4200 nimh stick packs, whats the best way to maintain a stick pack like that?

The toe seems right, and so does the oil. Cool, thanks
