Anyone aware of another F103/104 front/rear tire truing arbor other than the http://d-drivesportsenglish.com/inde...roducts_id=494 ?
They are out of stock at d-drivesports, and I'm becoming addicted to F1.

So, there's an arbor for the F103. I'll see if I can find a source.
I'm very new to F1. Built my car 3 weeks ago. I have only had 2 races. I've got a lot to learn, but I'm having a lot of fun with my F104.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I thought that the 103 and 104 wheels (front & rear) were the same???

Tyre (tire) wear?
I think I'm starting to get into a groove with my F104 at my local track and slowly pushing it a little harder.
I've found the B compound Tamiya tyres to work well for me here (outdoor asphalt) and it's getting better as the summer days kick in.
Just curious - over 2 heats and three finals on Sunday, I must have gone through 50% of the front tyres, but the rears didn't show too much obvious wear.
Is this consistent with what others have seen? Is this track dependent? Is my setup possibly in need of some tweaking?
I will try to remember the video camera for my next outing and throw it up to Youtube or something.

Can't wait for the rubber tires.... I just hope they are good for racing and not just for show....

I could live with that - I'm happy with the B's during the daytime, but switching to rubber for the cooler evening runs might work.

Can i ask how you got your 104 dialed for carpet? Do you have a massive room that's carpeted? How long's your straight away? This's how I run out here. Not full speed, tring to be cautious. Sorry if you've already seen this.
