Actually, you can put it on the other side part way on the chassis and blow it back over the motor at an angle as done by none other than Troy McKune.

TRG117 build is getting along nicely. I'll be revising the front IFS a little bit; I find the stock dampers a bit to chunky.
Servo is detachable; speedo will be stacked vertically to preserve the narrow chassis design.
Can't wait to try this next month on our local track. Been used to FGX's ride and feel.

Ok, but that fan has to blow through alot of stuff before reaching the motor at an angle.... I'll take my chances without a fan and save a few grams... 1226 grams is way overweight compared to 1050grams: I think my car is around 1070grams now, and I am still looking to shave weight, not the other way around...Lighter tires (4g less per tire) would do the trick..... Happy racing....
That being said, I have never had to run a fan on my FGXs. I've sold one, but the other is still one of my favorites to tinker with. I've found that opening the airbox over the drivers head provides enough air directed right at the motor. The car is still competitive and the lower the traction, the more it shines. Your results may vary.

Only the battery door and the post are in the way. You have to live with the post and the first part everyone removes is the battery door anyway. So if you have an FGX and insist on a fan, it can be done.

Do they still make pre-made F1 rear light kits? I couldn't find the TQ version in stock and haven't found any others =/

Does that TRG117 have an attempted 2017 style front wing or are my eyes deceiving me?
It looks different to the style on their website.

Can anybody tell me who makes spur gears 48 pitch with 66 down to 60 teeth?
Only part I could find till now was associated/kimbrough 66t:
https://www.teamassociated.com/parts...r_66t_48pitch/
Actually I'm looking for 60t but anything smaller than 66t would be great!!!

I believe most of the light openings in the wings are 5mm.

OK, here's the correct item:

For $5, I get 20 at a time. I give them away to new F1 drivers at the track as a thank you for supporting the class.

EDIT: changed to correct RED flashing light color.

My point is that you can get them CHEAP. You do have to solder a receiver plug onto them. Or if you can add a receiver plug if you have the right tools.
