@Phil.....Are you going to run the car with ETS rubber or just any rubber that will give high grip?

Start with the last know setup you have of the car when you raced it
Work your way from there.
Look at the foam setup i posted and try it.
Did some running with that setup and Pits rubber(non rain) and it would run fairly well.

Default Spare parts for my old Tamiya Ford 107B F1?

Hi, this is my second post here on the forum. Reposting since someone suggested this was the correct place to ask

The other day I digged out my old Tamiya Ford 107B F1 electric 1:10 car. It's in rather bad shape, and I thought it might be fun to get it up and running again I was hoping that someone here could help me find the right spare-parts to replace what's broken?

I'm not good at techincal terms in english, and don't know the right words, but at the rear of the car there is a "big plastic gear" wich is broken. It's the differential (?). I have a picture, but I'm not allowed to upload pictures yet since I only have two posts.. What is this part called? Is it possible to buy "upgraded" parts to replace this one?

In addition to this part I also need:
- a new battery pack
- a new battery charger
- new tires
- possibly new front wing

Do anyone know wich parts I should get, and where I can get new parts? I live in Norway, but guess I can order from tamiyausa.com or somewhere else.
- Can I use the new "Lipo"-battery for my car? How long will this new type of battery last?
