The pits are not meant to be used on the Tamiya rubber rims. If you do try you need to cut the outer ridge off. Glueing them to the foam rims is a piece of cake. I have to glue my VTA wheels and those can be a pain. The Pits on the foam wheel just slide in very easy.

The grooved tires fit on the F104 Ride rims. They were originally F201 tires. They will not fit on the F104 Tamiya rubber rims as the ID of the grooved tire is much smaller than the OD of the rims.

Hello all,

I'm in the process of building a V2 with the McClaren Mercedes-Benz MP4 body. Is there any benefit to using the optional body pods? Also what is the most common gear combo for the Reedy 21.5 being run?

Thanks

Dealing with the optional side pontoons is a pain initially but a much better result in the end. Dont skimp-out, your F1 body will have nicer lines in the end.

Today was the first race of the belgian tamiyacup races, along with some dutch and japanese drivers we had a great and a super fast day.
My verII was one of the fastest on the track, our track is 30mx12m big and my fastest laptime was faster then some super fast modified drivers.
The car went super quick and was a plesure to drive it, one of the best cars i've been driving for the last few years (along with the TA06 PRO).
My both wining cars for today, very happy now

Congrats! How many drivers?

addicted2blue

Thx.
There were 20 F1 drivers at the start, an A and B main.
Due to a small crash of a slower driver i wasn't able to TQ today and had to start in 3rd position and managed to win 2 finales (allthough i also should have won all 3 finals, but again due some crashes with slower drivers i wasn't able to win to first final)

What oil are you guys/gals using for the roll shock?

I'm indoors on carpet with rubber tires. I tired 70wt but it still seems soft. I'm using the kit side springs as well.

10K to 30K
Heavier = more rotation, more tendency to traction roll with high grip conditions

I will try to post my setup here.
We did run on carpet with medium grip and we run our cars with a tamiya 18T sensorless brushless motor.
This motor is extremely powerfull, it has a hugh amount of torque.
The fastest laptime of myself yesterday was 12.163s, super fast modified guys with there 6.5T or lower motors don't go faster then 12.4s on a 30mx12m big indoor track.

While using the adjustable tamiya uprights, with spacers, the Ride pre-mounts won't fit on my front end. Anyone else have the same findings? I've got the correct spacing above the upright. The bottom of the kingpin hits the inner wheel.
