How is this car on high grip black carpet?

yes this car is definitely no slouch on the high bite.

You need to back off on how tight the screw is. Also, doing the X1 High Traction T-Bar double O ring seems to help.

As you can see from the pic first position trf103 did very well... TQ ....and third position was a trf103 too. 2nd position ultimately won with an exotek...He is very fast.....https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...66d5d02b41.jpg

Bent rear bulkheads
 

Hey guys,

I look around on this thread and didn't notice anyone has been having problems with this but I have had 2 rear bulkheads bend on this car. Have never had it happen on any other F1 I have ever used so I am wondering if any of you have has the same problem. If so, do you have any alternatives or suggestions that you have used to fix it? Everyone I know that runs a trf103 in my area has had this happen and just bends it back. To add insult to injury, no one in the states seems to have them for sale and TamiyaUSA is even out of stock with no ETA. The car is by far the best car I have used on asphalt but this may be where I relegate it to TCS duty only. :-(

Yes I have bent both sides of the rear pod during a bad wreck. I also could not believe it:cry:
