Personally I really like the body etc. that comes with it and if they have the rear axle/diff setup which can be adjusted without pulling the wheel off each time then that is a consideration for sure

its available separately and can be used (from what I recall) with both the F104's and the F103's

I'm intrigued about the new car (F104X1) but itching to get a car now. You know how that ges haha
I've ordered a new motor 21.5 BL May need to get a battery too as I've been told the "normal" rectangular Li-Po packs wont fit.
Any advice on which battery to get guys? ......
Ok. So when is everyone going Leisurehours again? ..... I'd like to get up there. :-)

I may not get to LHR for a couple weeks we have a Asphalt Assault series race coming up at a different venue and I'm trying to put in some time there. It's no further for you to come there and we should have 1 or 2 heats of FIERCE F1 wars. Follow either the Asphalt Assault thread or the Strictly RC thread for more info. I also forgot to mention, if you don't want to wait for the 104X another option (perhaps the best) is the Exotek EX104. It's a conversion for the F104 or you could buy the Exotek and all the rear pod and front suspension stuff, I think it comes out all the same. The Exotek converts your pretty understeering shelf queen into fire breathing apex eating bad a$$ REALTALK. Also a lot of guys have been messing around with the hard case mini lipos. Same voltage same amperage half the weight. Cheers hope you get sorted Mega.

I prefer the F104 diff on my F103. 3Racing makes an adjustment nut that allows diff tightening from the left side of the spur. I use one of these and think it is pretty trick though it makes diff rebuilds a little tricky.

Which is odd...most people find that the car has understeer once they can get sufficient rear grip from the super soft t-plate
