Wear isn't too bad, the rubbers got scrubbed in within the first 3-4 laps. After 4 races of 5mins, there is visible wear, but nothing to really stress about as long as you swap LH to RH after every race or two. I hope to get at least 25-35 races out of the rears, with probably a little more from the fronts.

Unless your building a shelf queen and you have deep pockets we need find a better sounce for body's that can be raced.
It is beyond me.. they will bring out this new R- and couild do a production run of all the old F1 bodies to go along with it.. at $45 you buy it.. at $145 OUCH!!!

I don't thinik that chassis is going to come with a body. I think Tamiya does that to try and keep the cost down. I know what you mean about trying to find a body for these cars. It aint easy. I put a link below to a guy that sells allot of Tamiya stuff on Ebay. I've purchased from him before and I'm happy to say he's trust worthy. He doesn't carrry every F1 body but he's got a few. I hope this helps.

I feel what your saying. I've gone way to deep in the wallet lately to get some old F1 bodies.
I'd love it if they re-released all of the old ones, maybe even touch up the molds to ad more detail. I don't really care much for the new F1's with all the aero parts hanging off them. I've only seen a handful on here that look good...but that's a personal thing. I'd also really appreciate it if Tamiya would include plastic detailing parts, camera's, mirrors, front wing turning veins...you know stuff like that. You think they would since they're a plastics company too. As far as I know you don’t need licensing to make those parts.

my masking effort took 3 days to carefully work out.
I planned every detail, spent hours working out what goes where.
I made a mistake and pulled some off to correct, everything went wrong, so i just sprayed it up and put stickers on, doesn't look great but its not going to sit on the shelf!
its that bad i dont want to post pics . . . . . .
