I hate to ask such a newbie question, but I can't remember what F1 this is - I believe its a F103, but trying to find the directions to see exactly what's missing and part numbers to replace said parts






thanks!!

You have a Tamiya 58126 - Lotus 107B (1993) - so, yes a f103rs based chassis I believe

You can use the F104 sideplates/gearbox on your F103s.

It will allow you to also adjust your ride height but it starts out with the axle higher than the F103 parts so you will start out with a lower ride height and be limited as to how small of a diameter tire you can run.

They should all fit as it is the same car. Some parts may require others to work with them though like the longer upper deck will also need the same servo mounts since the deck screws to the servo mounts.

so they bolt right up to the F103's t-plate?

does this effect the F103's rear axel and diff parts? or will that need to be swapped out as well?

and you just made my day

i can live with that I know the long top deck kit comes with the servo posts - I had them on mine, but somewhere they disappeared

you will do well to get any 15th anniversary hop ups

i struggled for 2 months to find a full kit

but i think places like RCmart and RCmodel stock loads of hop-up option parts for the normal F103's there is a guy at my club who runs one with all the Tamiya hop-ups on it , looks loverly

although i am driving my F1-09 now as i dont want top damage my F103 15th anniversary again
