We had an issue last year with this structure at tracks where the rubber tires wouldn't hook up on the F104s. Some tracks combined both chassis in the foam class and all the new customers with 104s went home angry. Other tracks separated the cars into two foam classes and that worked well. The wider cars are just SO much more stable.

Been there! Done that!
I contacted Spektrum to try to get a new case, but they wouldn't sell me one. They wanted me to return the Rx and
they would replace the case. I think they wanted $22 + postage ($7 case + $15 labor). It still worked fine, so I never bothered.

I wouldn't worry about replacing the case if the rx works. It looks cool.

i agree, foam and rubber cars dont work well together because foam will always win. wes there enough people in each class?

InspGadgt

Yeah...I've addressed my concern over this with Spektrum several times and even once in person at the Snowbirds a few years ago. This is really a not well thought out policy that needs to be changed. My last broken case I raised holy heck and finally got them to send me one out. But it wasn't pleasant..I fought with them over the phone and email for over a week.

The Trackside TCS had a good turn out for both classes, f103 and f104 on foam. They didn't bother with rubber.

i figured most people wouldnt bother with rubber. i like rubber because the tires dont chunk, they last longer and they are cheaper. i know the cars are not as fast and the grip falls off depending on temp and wear, but i like rubber better. it almost seems like the racing is closer because we all are dealing with the same problem. in the end i guess it is all relative.
