Super Autobacs...
excuse the crappy photo, I was in a hurry this morning... but I'll get better photos later (you would think that being a professional photographer that I would have taken a better photo... but that will come later)

I used E-Flite 4mm's, and they have a "ring" that goes around them, cut them off at the ring, and solder the wire onto the flat surface thats left.You can see the "ring" im talking about in the pic
ps excuse MY crappy pics

Hey Guys,
I've lost the spacer for the front wheels (BC4, 19804246). Unfortunately, I could not find one on the internet and my lhs hasn't one available. Might it be possible to use the 1.5mm spacer (19804372) of the TRF416?

BTW... I drove my car at Bending Corners Raceway yesterday (outdoor asphalt medium to high grip) for the first time and my car didn't have any of the "problems" people have been complaining about.... my car is silver can, with the smaller stock spur gear.... I drove it with the rear spring removed with the stock t-bar...
The car was straight as an arrow on the back straight... and the only thing I noticed was that it had some high speed understeer (not necessarily on power, just higher speed). low speed oversteer... but after a lap or two, it was really easy to get used to and compensate for... rear end was planted
Sight toe-in, stock tires, rear spring removed, stock t-bar, Team Orion 3400, Spektrum 3500, Novak XRS, negative camber setting, no tire additive....
if anyone has any ideas about the over/under steering issue, I'm all ears.. but other than that... the 104 is a keeper....

I never use grease on my fricton plates. I use the low friction Teflon pads tamiya makes for the f103. The white ones. They work as well as greased reg. ones for me...just run them tighter for the same effect.
