I haven't had problems with the Ride 103 wheels. I have heard that they are fragile but so far I have been lucky. And I wish I didnt say that, I bet I bust them this weekend.
Think I'll try the hards next tire order for my mutant narrow 109. Maybe it will take over as my main F1 over the standard F109.

Twice I gave my "good" Ride rim/tire to someone else who also had 1 good one left over after killin one.
Haven't bought any Rides for my 103 since but I never liked that car on rubber anyway.
I actually really like my 104 on the Pit rubber now.
I think I'm about the last to conform and admit that the 104 is finally a race car.

I could tell you but then I'd have to... 
OK, the tires of choice are the Pit Shimizu 571 and 572 combo but don't tell anyone else.

will the pit rubbers hold up to the speed of a 13.5T motor? We have a large track and run 13.5T motors in our F1's.

Man great video, that looks like a ton of fun, can you post a pic of the car with out its lid. I am looking to get the 104x1 and after this vid you posted i am SOLD on them. I want to see what the electronics look like if i decide to get one, which i am almost certain i will. I would have bought it today but my XRAYT3 2012 came in so i paid for that first. Thanks in advance.

I personally could care less if F1 is slower than 1/12 or WGT or whatever. F1 is it's own unique class; and it's main appeal has always been and should continue to be, SCALE REALISM. It is not to be compared with any other class of car.
I would hate to see those who are obsessed with all-out performance hijack the F1 class and ruin it the way 1/10 touring has been ruined. We already have those who promote the "shaved to the rim" foam tires on an F1 car, as well as "cheater" cars like the current Corally F1 car, which is nothing more than a pan car with an F1 body on it. Maybe those who are obsessed with that sort of thing out to start their own class and leave mainstream F1 alone.
I know that I'm going to be "flamed" for my comments, but I feel very strongly about this. All too often, the "performance obsessed" have hijacked various on-road classes and have directly contributed to it's decline as on-road has become overly expensive and complex for the average rc racer; and as a result, many have defected to off-road racing. F1 is my all-time favorite form of racing, and I don't want to see that happen with it!

F1 alive and growing over here!
I Agree let's keep f1 scale! Been working on getting a f1 class going at my local track and had a 6 car race last night! Yay, with a couple more interested in getting f1's as well. By far my favorite class. The track harbor hobbies f1 growing weekly. Peace

No problem.. hope these help.. had to grind the electronic mounts to a c shape but they are way cozy once the body and nothing has been ejected.. Little shoe goo would solve that issue.

Do not rule out the Exotek chassis. It has a ton of traction on ozite carpet. Traction rolling is slow corners was something I had to deal with. Rear grip was not a issue even with a 13.5T. Talk to BP shadow he put together an Exotek kit for me, so I did not have to buy a F104 kit and then the Exotek chassis.
On that note the new Exotek chassis will be arriving any day now, and I also have a first gen Exotek that was assembled but only run a couple of times, essentially brand new
