Hi, I won't take credit for the first to have 2 wheelbases. I credit the HPI Micro RS4 for the idea. About 10 years ago I used to make a chassis conversion for it too

Thanks!
Correct for the rear.

Side note: you do realize that patents don’t really mean a whole lot in China.
As long as patents means something to the western world along with chinas favorite distributor- ebay, we will be fine

Come down and we'll grab lunch 10 days or so.

Now you go and make this, superb car, and yes I do need it....

I wonder the bell crank steering with the servo further back in the chassi is that possible to use in the F1R2?


Have you run the new car on asphalt with foam tires?
We run with 13.5T and foams on asphalt and rubber tires is not up to the task, with rubber tires i am 1 second slower per lap.

were do we sign up?
Hi,
Foam racing has died out so no testing sorry.
The steer set may work with the F103 parts but I think the post would move if mounted on the chassis slot. I don't think it's needed so much though.
