Lookin' good TC!! F1 purist may scoff at the 2017 paint scheme and non-Pirelli tires though.

Still looks great, and I for one miss Goodyear being in F1.

I had the tires on another car and haven't used them, and I don't like wasting decals. I waste everything else just not decals. Thanks I worked hard on this one but the side pods gave me some issues and made me mad. I appreciate it though

I hear'ya. I have a boat load of Bridgestone tire decals - just won't throw hardly any decals away. And honestly, I rarely put tire decals on any F1 car tires I plan to race. Only time I ever did that was back in the day when I still ran the TCS races regularly.

Your F1's look great - sidepods included... all my paint jobs are 10 footers.

Thanks! Its not my color either but BP made some great decals again and I wanted to be the guinea pig. I just HATE SIDE PODS.

Who is BP?

Also, anyone aware of any company making 2017 style rear wings yet? I know there is a 17 style front wing at the moment, but not heard of a rear.

BP Shadows on the forum, a.k.a Brad Palmer, the owner of F1 RC Lab.

Regarding the 2017 style rear wing, the Associated F6 rear wing (#8678) nearly matches F1 2017 new regulations.
The Serpent is not bad too, but less durable than the AE.

I got a Protoform 16?? I think. Slung wing low but doesn't have that sweet curve on the sides.

If you are looking for this, you might be searching for a long time because none of the rear wing on the market gets this

The AE front wing seems durable, but started to droop and drag on the carpet after a few hits. I'll see if it it'll stay straight after I bend it back, otherwise, back to good ol' F60 front wing.

Tamiya Ferrari 2012 did that real bad, I ended up shoe gooing some flat stock carbon underneath to stiffen it up.

boil it water for about 10-15 minutes. then let cool naturally. don't force cool. it will then get too brittle.
