I am running the Cirtix in my f104 0 drag brake and almost never use the other brakes. The F1 cars are so skitish using the brakes they are not worth it. The are much better if you drive them with a smooth driving style vs heavy throttle then braking into the corners. You cannot drive a F1 like you can a touring car.

For me 20% drag brake worked better than 0%. Maybe because the front end needed more grip via weight transfer forward.
Regarding driving f1 like a touring car. That's exactly how I feel when I drive the fgx. It feels like a touring car.... Almost.

Thanks for the help guys. Another question is on a tamiya body doing it "scale" look, whats the best way to attach the pieces. They say double sided tape and screws but wondering if zap pt-22 or shoe goo would be better.

This is what I will be working on this weekend. I have been driving hard into the corners and braking right before the turn, pulsing the brakes to keep from spinning out. This weekend I will not use any brakes and let off the throttle early, and roll through the turns. I'll see which one nets ME better lap times.

He started racing with an Associated RC10T4 stadium truck. That was the hot class at our local off road track at the time. In the last few years, we have mostly run on carpet. VTA, USGT, etc. Our track only allows Tamiya parts including tires and wheels. Silver can or 21.5 brushless.

We have all the parts cut out, so its no problem to go either way right now. Does mess up being able to paint graphics on the sides very well. If we use the pieced up method, then the graphics will have to be decals. (We are doing our own "scale" look scheme, but not the standard red one.)
