We should be getting the F1R2 back in stock soon.
If you message me I can put a package price together for you. I have all the parts in stock to piece a car together

Do raising the pod links by an equal amount front and rear do anything on the handling of the car?

I can imagine it will have more leverage on both ends working like a stiffer spring while the damping stays the same.


In other words, it will have the same effect as putting a stiffer spring while the thickness of the oil is kept the same.

Like a higher roll center??

No effect on roll center since it is a pitch damper.
But the center of gravity will become fractionally higher with the shock raised higher.

Thanks for answering edhchoe. What about the side links.same scenario
Thanks in advance buddy.

The side link attachment points - especially the rear one- have to stay on the same level as the chassis. As the attachment point gets farther away from the plane of chassis the links will hinder the articulation of the rear pod.

Hi, For those of you building a Tamiya Ferrari F60 here is a nice detail for the
exhaust tips. Made from aluminum arrow sections and cut to length and glued
with goop on the inside. Regards

nice idea. i was thinking of using styrene tube and i have some metalizer paint i was thinking of spraying them with.

Norman2

Hi, I tried with a Starbucks straw but could not get the paint to stick on it.
Thanks and regards,

I'm curious...what do you mean by "metalizer paint"? Is this some special type of paint that simulates metal? I might be interested.

model master paints. its for styrene. i have jet exhaust color also. i may use that since it will look like heated metal exhaust pipe.

Team Lotus

Do you have the Model Master paint codes for the heated metal exhaust? I will be doing the exhaust pipes on the Gurney Eagle VF1 body soon, and that should work well for that.
