Idk why Venom lists the ESC as 8-23T. It should simply say, handles stock and modified brushed motors down to 8T. Yes the LVC is set too low at 5v, but I've been running lipo's for long enough now to know that you can clearly see the car slow down right before a normal 6v cut off happens in other ESC's. Usually the "punch" out of corners is first sign the pack is low, then the slow down right after.

I am looking for the body manual # for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes - F104 MP4-24. Just bought the body and don't really know how it all goes together, I might be able to find the manual on the Tamiya site if I have the manual #.

thanks terry

How far off are the Tamiya rubber tires from the Shimizu tires for carpet racing?

I can scan one ad email it to you as a PDF, there is no manual for the McLaren or the Ferrari, it's a supplement to the generic F104 manual

The Tamiya rubber tires don't work on carpet at all, they are a decent outdoor tire , but a waste for carpet

We have been having some decent results using the Tamiya tires on carpet. I've been using scuffed in softs and really used hards in the front. Full sauce in the rear and half in front. I haven't tried a brand new set yet because the used ones have been hooking up well.

Has anyone produced a link front arm set for the 104 or is everyone just building them on their own.

Parade car vs. Race car.

Tamiya "C" F104 tires? Hmmm.
wishful thinking

What kind of wear are you guys getting out of the Shimizus?

Bodyset should include a manual, right? I think he just bought the body not the entire bodyset.

Why not run foam for F1, is it not allowed for carpet racing?

Realism; ease of maintenance; lower speeds (UF1) so grip levels are fine.

Right...on carpet if you run the foams at their stock height the cars will traction roll easily so to get the car to handle right you need to true them down to almost the rim like what is done in 1/12th scale...but then the tires are way too small to look right with the rest of the car.

I thought MikeR (exotek) said he was going to work on one. Currently there isn't a kit to buy. You'd have to piece it together.

edit:

Yup found it.
