Thanks for the compliment. Most the parts are home made and the top plate/damper from Zen/TRG.

These are home R&D for the F104's parts. All these parts are easy to get from Japan

Reading through the UF1 rules I see there are pit stops...are these just a stop and go type pit stop or are they required to change batteries or something? I remember when I was making the rules for our F1 series back in the day we made the races long enough so that battery changes were necessary...these days that is pretty hard to do.

Oh it did...back when I was in charge of OFRA we had races as long as 45 mins until people started being able to go the full time with no pits.

Hey Champ, have you seen Tim's pit light timer?
Step on the pedal to start timer for bout 8 seconds and go when light tells pit guy to put you down, still get stickers of course and still 2 pit stops/stickers mandatory.
This is only for the "Realistic"/modern F1 class.
The Open class rockets, well, no one wants to stop one in the pits.

so it's just a sprint til clock ends it.
