Ok last night I had my first run tried a few sets of tires but kept going back to the p-one from wrc.
The only thing I found is that I was diffing out on corners if I came in to aggressively and tried to hit the gas hard coming out of the corner I can hear the car diffing. Any ideas on how to stop that i.e stiffer springs or softer or a roll center somewhere

So 1/10 F1 is not to scale.
The wheelbase of 10 scale F1 is 100mm short.
These things are long...

They say Mercs will fall short in Monaco since it is sporting the longest wheelbase amongst the group but practice proves otherwise, setting the fastest lap ever recorded.

For stock racing, 13gauge water is pretty overkill consider touring car modified guys uses 13 or 12 gauge for their wires. Now I havent used TQ wires before so I cant comment on how flexible or soft their wire is. Might work for the application, but Im using muchmore's full copper 16gauge wires on my F1 running a 21.5T motor and the wires are more than capable of handling the load. Not to mention the extra flex a thinner wire provides frees up the rear pod and the weight saved (probably not much, but you;ll be surprised) going to thinner wires
I'll be in HK in June, if you'd like to try some TQ stuff let me know, will get you some.

What what I was told, stiffer springs would give more rear traction but might also lift the inside wheel during a turn. Try a softer side spring and see if that helps.

Thanks for the offer but I have too many wires at home and not enough cars to wire. What are you doing in HK? Planning on checking out any tracks here?

I've read some running a soft Pit front and rear Ride... is the idea to give more steering due to the difference in ride height as the ride's pre mounts are significantly bigger than Pits on a 104 wheel?

What other tires did you try? Are you running on asphalt or carpet? It's interesting you feel the P-Ones handles better. Their front tires aren't bad, but the rear tires have no grip at all. At least for me on asphalt.

Schumacher fronts only and CRC full set,
But the CRC were not preped so that wasn't a good test as the car had no grip anywhere front or rear.
Surface is black CRC carpet
For me the p ones gave a good feeling just like I said I kept hearing the car diff out at certain corners if I tried to push it to keep up. With no grip in the front and full grip in the rear it was good then towards later in the run it wanted to 2 wheel in spots

As disaster's already asked, what you planning on doing in HK? Am sure we could help out with showing you around some of the shops here and the track we go to if the times all work out.

Thanks for the advice! I was about to set up my tires this weekend and so many places say to use brake cleaner or engine cleaner to clean the mold release off.

want to ask a silly question, what is the difference of the f103 & f104 differential please?
