Oh yeah..the F60 body parts set is no joke. It even comes with wheels spats. May have it done on the third of never

I think if you want to race get the pro and the f60 body, but if you want to play get the f60 kit. thats just my opinion.

I might be asking for too much because I have the tendency to drop tons of money on upgrades. This is going to be a huge test for me to keep it bone stock.

I believe FMW assembled them in the normal fashion
Just be careful to leave enough room between the insert and rim
for air to escape through the wheel vent holes.
Grats on the F60 parts.
Question is, are you going with the F60 scheme, or something further up the grid

I also purchased the F104 Pro. I paid $189.99 (free shipping) for it from Tower.

Well, I guess that could be the TRG wheel.
I like more the Tamiya original wheel, in fact is not any bad look and cheaper than TRG.

Anyway, thanks for your replies!
