Is it possible to fit LM bodies on the trf103 with just a straight parts swap from a f103gt? I wouldn’t want to waste money on buying f103gt parts that wouldn’t fit

Next question, What outer diff housing will work now that they have discontinued the part number listed in the kit?

Do you mean this one?

TRG GT Bumper Tamiya F1 F103 EP 1:10 RC Car On Road #TRG5094. Also fits F104. I have this mount somewhere. Oh, also install longer body mount on the rear.

Built or bought? If built, great work! If bought, who makes it, do you know the part number, and where did you get it?

Can you feel a difference with it installed in the car?

For those who PM'd me about the rear Xray pod, I am posting a few pictures with notes of how it was installed. I don't know of a direct fit kit yet for our TRF103.

On one picture with the gear diff clearance, you guys asked how close the gear diff is to the plate. The plate has a cut out to avoid all diffs so it will not hit or rub unless you go off-roading or crawling

Could you use a larger black spacer to move it further down?
