You can also check the new Serpent. Then you know for sure that the front width is good.

anybody can comment on TRF101W?
thinking about making it 180mm with rubber tire on asphalt.
If it's not worth, I'll make it 200mm or sell it.

Any general tips on making a F1 car have more front end grip?
I run on asphalt with the VBC lightning with Ride front tires and Solaris Rear rubber tire. Front Camber set to -1 degree and have the battery in the rear position. Everything else is pretty stock, soft front and rear springs, soft side springs, 35wt shock oil, 15k damper tube oil. I sauce both the front and rear tires but I cant seem to get any front end traction.
The car pushes wide in every type of corner, either fast or slow, sweeping or sharp turns.

Loose the Ride tires as they have a lot of understeer.
Good combo on carpet or asfalt are the GRP tires.
Also go a bit harder at the centre to get some more steering.

To convert the TRF101W to 180mm you will have to either get new front wishbones custom cut to reduce the width, or replace the whole front end with the standard F104 front end.

Get rid of the Ride tyres. They understeer even with their matching rear tyres, nothing you do will improve that. Replace them with Pit Shimizu 571 and 572 tyres, 574 if you need more front grip.

For the new TRF101 narrow front, the part # is 42286. That is carbon upper and lower arms, bulkhead, spacers, knuckles, screws, etc.
