If you want a multitude of stickers for F-1 cars check out RC Lab!! Brad has GREAT combinations of liveries for nearly ALL the F-1 teams!! A great source for teams!
Here's one I just did with Renault livery.

Giorgio I have one gripe. Is there any way to add a gasket, it seems it leaks spitting out some fluid. Also can you make a graphite axle option for less rotational mass?

Other than that, I love it. The car gets off the corners so hard and good now. I just couldn't get my ball diff to work.

Jeff:
about a graphite axle, working on it.

about leaking.
Diff is not sealed. Any "excess" of syrup (more than really need) will came out.

Maybe this will help:

Has anyone put Tamiya’s 2017 F104 body and wing to the track yet? Wondering how it performs. And most importantly (for me at least) how the front wing holds up in crashes. Is it resilient like the F60 or McLaren wings? Or droop like the F2012? Thanks in advance.

Looks good. What colour did you use for the papaya orange? Also, could you private message me the (internet) contact details for the guys who did your stickers?

Here's a pic of a few f1s from yesterdays trophy race at 360v2.



Winners were
1 WRC/sweep tire
2 xray 17 flex alu/CRC tire?
3 xray 17 full alu/Shimizu tire
4 Associated full alu/ sweep tire
5 Xray

The racing was intense, not much separating the pace of the A main. Hot laps of the A main separated by less than 3 tenths with 6 different manufacturers equipment represented.

I have the wing set and really like it. The front wing is flexible and droops on hard impacts, but is easy to bend back up. With minimal contact it holds up nicely. I like the way my car drives with it. I also love how the rear wing screws together. The upper wing has 2 positions and it has slots that hold the nut so you are not going right into plastic with the screw. I run an Exotek F1R3 and Bitty Design body.

Stop by the Tamiya Regional at Aliso this Sunday and you will get to see first hand.
