I got my shimizu tyres today and am wondering if I have to trim the foam insert to fit the wheel or does it stay in the tyre?
Thanks

Does anyone make a servo mount set that has threaded holes where the lower and upper decks screw together? Tamiyas aluminum servo mount is a thru hole design like the kit part, while their alum rear pivot mount changed to a threaded thru hole so you replace the top nut and single long screw with top and bottom screws.
The reason I want it is because it's difficult to tighten the ball studs /nuts while holding the chassis flat, the screw just spins around. Of course I can hold a driver/wrench on the other side but wouldn't this prevent the chassis from being tightened evenly and flat? Like how you wont tighten a TC top deck by holding the chassis on your hand? Or does this not matter on the f104?

I cut the part off of the stock plastic servo mounts and used a 1/2" stand-off that I tapped to 3mm. It works quite nicely.

I've been using 1/12 scale springs from Windtunnle racing. They have a good range of spring rates to work with.
