to fit the f60 wing on your HPI you need to mount the "rear" hole, and drill a new front one

I know this is buried within the 241 pages and I cannot find it. My question is. Which arbors do I need for the rear and fronts. If you have links that would be killer

Hi traction = faster car

Low traction = depends...it may be harder to handle, but you can put the weight back on with lead. The advantage is the weight will be exactly where you need it.

i know for sure.. the 104 needs to be balance in order to get proper traction in high or low grip conditions.. almost exactly like a real F1. So having weight for ballast is a good thing.

Maybe because the car is too long compared to 103

I use the 3mdouble sided tape at walmart. its $5 a roll of like 25ft and it has held up always. Even on 2.5R brushless motors on foam.

Mike,

Ordered my kit last Friday. I see it shows In Stock but lower says ships Nov 3rd. If the item isn't in stock is there any way to set it to show Pre-Order? It just seems a little confusing.

I assume your still on track for shipping Wednesday?

The standard 104 servo horn is really tight on my servo. Is there a way to fix this? Or do they sell a metal servo horn that will work with the 104 steering setup?

Use Kimbrough's servo saver.
