This may have been asked before but does the F60 body fit the F109?
Thanks.

You may want to look at the F201 Tamiya bodies. They look to be close in dimension. If I remember, I'll look at the track, and see if the ones they have will fit the 109

Here's some more pics of my custom machined servo mounts. I originally made these for the standerd servo size but then modified them after I bought a low profile servo. I would be willing to make a batch of these if I could get enough people interested. As far as the cost goes, I would definitely have to get them under the Tamiya brand so they would be worth it to everyone who wants them.
Soon, I will calculate the cost and post it on the forum.

Thanks Steve

Got a Ferrari F2001 for the F201 today, and it looks like it will fit the 109. It also looks like the front wing will fit with a little help. The front wing looks a lot like the 2009 wings too (wider than the stock 109 front wing), just gotta get a narrow rear wing.

my new Corrally Mod

i didnt like the standard idea with the side springs so . . . .

i bought the Corrally side springs and tweek screws from their new 1/12th scale (easier to get in europe thn the CRC stuff)

i used super glue on the battom of the plastic spring mount to the chassis using the stock screw to make sure it was square with the hole , then removed the screw and screwed the corrally droop screw and ball assembly in , clipping the spring to the top of it then i can adjust the spring tension and tweek of the rear of the car

i am still trying to get the set up right as to which spring works best , suffering badly with lack of rear grip

Thaks must go to Pieter Sorber for the car , chassis and Corrally parts , Joey for the driving tips Thanks for the chance to try this car out

sorry about the pictures the Iphones camera is carp









and my car

Hi!

Maybe stupid question, this wings from body (white one) they gives some
aerodynamics or they are only for nice look ?

Maybe someone try drive with them and without?

For me body without is more nice ... but it is for me

Regards!

ah i see !! i have the red bull , jag , mclaren and ferrari stickers on the way and a blank shell waiting to be painted i cant decide what to go for ! i see you are having probs with handling what are you running on ? carpet or tarmac ?

sidecarphil1

iTrader: (1)

i run on carpet at the moment

what handling problems do you have ???

i have modified the rear springs to Corrally 1/12th scale parts but they are too stiff i think

went from grip rolling every corner to rear end too loose

i need some help too

I cant see it making alot of areodynamic diffrence , just add unnessasary weight , our club runs std 540 silver can motors so any weight advantage helps !


@ sidecarphil1 ..

Well i run on carpet , we are limeted to a silver can motor as i said above but i cant belive how well the car runs out of the box the only mod i have is the ally castor adjuster only because it seemed the norm and what others were doing, i use addative on the rears and dial alot of steering out on my transmitter , i can seem to keep up with some of the modified drivers so cant really see any real problems .forgot to say i changed the spur to 48dp the only real reason being i had a rack of 48dp pinions and no 64s
