thx!

All are included. More pics coming detailing the parts package.

The F104 T-bar? Poor flex traits due to the limited design means you need a really hooked up track to get the F104 to match the lap times of a hooked up F103. That's why Tamiya keeps redesigning the F104 t-plate. Link is just flat out hooked up and has a wider window for performing on various tracks.

Really nice chassis!

It's time for me to decide what to drive in the upcoming Swedish F1 winter series - your EXO104 is absolutely worth considering

I'd like to know how battery change is done (we are running 30min. Mains with a mandatory pit stop/battery change). Pics with the electronics mounted would also be very much appreciated.

Our first race is in the end of October - what is the release date of the conversion kit?

yes, i agree. that chassis looks dam good. if anything is going to make the f104 work, i think the link system is going to be it. it really is about time someone put more thought into the f1 cars. 3racing put more thought into the f1 car, but i am not sure if that car can out perform a 103 anniversary on asphalt, somebody correct me if i am wrong, but i haven't seen it yet at my local tracks.

MikeR, have you tested this car at any carpet or asphalt races? what were the results? and also when will this chassis be available to buy? thanks.

It also looks to be less expensive than the Yeah racing chassis as well

The way I see it, link is working on all surfaces for 1:12 and 1:10 pan car so it will most likely also be the ticket for F1. I know CRC used to have an F1 car and would clean up at Cleveland all the time.

The only "unknown" is will rubber tires work well on a link F1 car?

thanks to everyone who contributes...

I just finished reading all 123 pages of this thread and my 104 pro kit will be in on Friday. Thanks for everyone who shared all their setup and tech info. Will post pics when complete.

I will be racing at the new FL indoor RC Complex here in the tampa area. 21.5, 2s, rubber. Opened last weekend with 10-12 car turnout for F1. Already has such an interest that there is talk of special weeknight F1 only races.

Mike...the new exotek chassis set for 104 is AMAZING!

With the upgrade option,can I ask the silly questions.

Will it allow stick pack lipo's and nimh batteries
will F60 body still fit ok.

I would really like to get this upgrade, but wanted to ensure electrics etc and the above queries pose any concerns.

Thanks

Mike, I know with your HPI setup your able to run the small 1800 micro lipo's, is that going to possible with this setup as well?

good day sir

True, It will eventually but that is down the road when I've had time to develop the tray.

Yes sir- the battery area actually has more room than stock so more variety of batteries will fit including stick and nimh.
The F60 and pro body will fit- just need to trim a slot at the lower rear to clear the links. Hardly noticeable once done.

Thanks Sir! You have done your homework and no doubt will have much success because of this

All testing has been done on Asphalt. Right from the first battery It was remarkable the improvement over the stock chassis /soft t-plate. Very smooth rear end, less tire chatter, more cornerspeed and just hooked up. I'm testing with boosted ESC and the car has no problems keeping things under control

Thanks! More pics coming soon. Just like stock you would need to loosen 2 screws to move a front post out of the way. Ours is designed more to be simple yet very secure. Most guys I notice never remove their batteries to charge (maybe we all should for safety ) so for the average F1 racer it is no problem.
We should have preorders started either tonight or tomorrow and start shipping about Tuesday. Be sure to click on the 'notify me' link in the shop.


Thanks all for your support!

Mike,
What about carpet with rubber tires, any testing done with this combo?
