that looks pretty good. the only thing is, the zen top plate allows for quick battery change. of course if i thought of cutting it i would have. i did use my old top plate to pimp up the f60 a little. so for me it wasnt a waste of $35.

What kind of lipo battery are you guys running in these? Are you finding the need to add any weight?

Out of curiosity, why would you need to add weight ?

To give the car a more planted feel. I am not familiar with the F104.. I know with my MINI I had to add a little bit of weight to the lipo to get the car to transition better from left to right. Was curious.

Brad, does the Orion 3800 fit with the electronics trays installed?

What surface do you run on ?

For the Asphalt tracks I've run the 104 on, it's glued to the track, very stable.
I am working only on how to find sharper turn in without sacrificing stability.
Tamiya B's @ 58mm to start helps a lot, front ride height 1mm higher than the rear, run the car low as possible, and I run the Tamiya 3.5 offset steering blocks #53259.
On very bumpy tracks removal of the shock spring helps, also fitting of the soft t-bar is a good choice.

We are somewhat limited on tire choices at the moment, but with A, B combos I have found tons of grip.

This chassis is more stable than the 103, but does turn in a bit slower.

Goes right in Marty, just tried it.

After what seemed like a long time, the 3racing 09 style wings finally came out. I just mounted them on my 104 pro, and they seem very flexible like the ones that came on the 3racing f109. I have crashed my f109 many times and I have had many people crash into me, and so far the wings haven't broke yet.
so I think they are o.k. to use in a race. I like the detail that they have. Now both my 104's don't have the same wings on them and they both look like 09 style cars.

Very cool. Can't wait to get my mitts on some of those wings. Also, that rear diffuser is really nice.

i want to make an 2008-style ferrari with the regular f104 pro body and i've found some decals on d-drive sports. for the wings (you guys with custom bodys) it seems that you put vinyl tape on it, but from where can i get it? thx

BP SHADOW

Any sign supply shop would have the vinyl. If you go to a shop that makes signs they might sell you material by the foot. I have a vinyl cutter, so I keep a stock of materials on hand

I know this has been asked a lot, but with so many pages on this thread I doubt I'll find an answer without hours of digging.
Is there anywhere else to get Red Bull decals besides D-Drive? They are out of stock, of course. Have any of you guys ordered out of stock decals from D-Drive? How long did it take for them to fill your order?

I use Daytona 7 to look at the decals and find part numbers.

I ALWAYS order from Rainbow Ten, they have a great selection of AMS decals. They speak english, take paypal and have GREAT customer service. Their catalog is in text format, but is up to date. Packaging of the shipment is exceptional...especially decal sets.

I have tried to order from Daytona 7, but there was a communication problem and I do not think they ship out of Japan??
