Just drove my f201 on a prepped track (Village Raceway) and it was an amazing experience. The 4wd system is a big help in braking and in the corners.

bargeboards, new halo, F104pro Spoon wing
 
It's an under-rated chassis but does have its short comings. Best way to get the most out of this chassis is to avoid using as many metal parts where unneeded, use a super light flat shorty pack lipo, brushless 380 motor, carbon chassis, rocker arm braces, and Hpi Fgx slicks.

A slightly overpowered motor gives it the right amount of speed and sense of being at the limit but the consequences of a crash are definitely painful. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...69be2f0229.jpg

Hi,

I will not sell my car in parts and don't have an extra carbon chassis.
If you cannot source a carbon chassis, contact me via PM with your email address. I will send you the chassis parts I drew.

The carbon fiber plate chassis also requires a separate aluminum motor mount, spur gear holder, and posts.
