Ah. Maybe I'll use it to simply take the play out of it. Thanks.

2017 body and wings are coming with the new kit from what is mentioned by RedRC and the Tamiya website. No part number listed, but I'm sure it will be great.

Default Doh!

When you realize your pinion was 9 teeth smaller than it should have been and you were still somewhat competitive all day... 88/26 does not equal 2.7. No wonder that spur didn't make it through the main. Next time.

Was wondering the same thing. I have not been able to find anything online regarding what the chassis looks like.

A model shop in the UK near me has it listed for a Jan 12th release, that's all I can add.. again I'm still hoping they release it with a Mercedes WO8 Licence, but I doubt it either way I think it'll be a good solid car..

Another curious question. Why cant the Exotek F1R3 damper rods be used to convert the F103 to those instead of the plate with the pads?

It could be done. I'd love to see someone make some parts to make it work.

Im thinking 2 of the dampers attached to the plate and make 2 extensions between upper plate and body posts. Gonna try it as soon as the dampers come in from Exotek.

The serpent 110 SF3 is a contender and was the champion car in the ETS series in Europe.

Id be curious to see what the breakdown of wins by each of the chassis mfgers (including upgrades like Exotek) in major races and international. Used to be, and I don't see it much now, the magazines in the late 80s and early 90s always broke it down to equipment used for that big race.

Id like to see local races covered by the clubs to do the same, but not always possible due to time, etc.
