Tamiya is always working on various projects, and they are very keen to getting back into F1. But right now the company as to look at what is selling and focus on that. But keep the faith, Tamiya will be back in F1, someday.

When the Courage came out I was stoked because getting the rights to those cars has to be infinitely easier than F1. So hopefully we'll see some new bodies to compete with the Courage.
ALMS is blowing up and the race here at Miller Motorsports Park is going to be awesome. Long Beach was amazing on TV. Would of been the best weekend in racing had I planned out my year better. Tickets this year are in the Turn 1 grandstand row 1. We'll have a sweet view of the west side of the track for a change.

Does anyone have the part numbers they can share for the body posts and front bumper that are needed to make the F103GT compatible with the Courage bodyset?

The rear posts are on the battery holder tree.

Yeah I lost those parts. I think they might have gotten thrown out sadly.

Afro Puff's right.
Prices are in Singapore Dollars.
Hi guys!
Have been racing F103GT for 1.5 years now. Come to think about it, I never realised that this kit has been around that long. Anyway, I love my F103GT, giving those 4WD a run for their money.

Has anyone tried the Kawada Fiberglass T-bar or the Kawada 3 point suspension?

Try not to run your wires under the Friction Plate as it hinders the movement of the T-Bar and the rolling of the chassis. It's where the most work is at.
Also, I think that swopping to a Tamiya Motor Mount will be good, since that you are on Tamiya Spec. The stock plastic ones simply warps.

Hey Spoook!
You may want to try the Kawada 1.8mm T-Bars. I have used them and no incidents of breakage.
Tech Racing's T-Bar will break at the centre where the O-Ring is. I broke my Tech Racing the day I used it. Almost gave up till I tried Kawada's.

I am using the Opel Astra body. I run outside on asphalt. The races are not clean, and lots of rubbing. Both times I broke the T bar was due to getting pushed into a wall. I was coming out of a corner and another racer took it hot. The back of my car was clipped and it hit the wall. The rear tires hit the wall hard and due to the design of the car it caused the T-plate to snap.
I was looking for a T-bar that is a bit more durable. Has anyone tried the T-bars from Kawada?
