Thanks a lot!

Now let's see whether the real or the 1/10th scale Adrian Sutil is better...

Probably wont fit, the Yeah Racing 3200 is rounded like those, but is too long for the supplied holders.

1106g, with a metal geared short servo, large ESC, silver can motor and uncased 3200 LiPo. No upgrades apart from ballraces.

I can't think of any at the moment, the Yeah Racing one needs to be about 2mm shorter at each end of the pack, and about 1mm narrower on each side as you have to wedge it and force it into the chassis.

My Formula Ten is currently out of action for the moment, as I can't find anywhere stocking spares yet. However, I may as well hold off getting a new 75t spur gear and wait for the ball diff set, and replace the spur gear then.

Default F1 ordered

Had the HPI rep in the shop this afternoon. The car is due for release about now. They get their deliveries on Wednesdays. I've ordered 3 of the 6 cell version for the shop which I'm expecting in on the 16th September. The rrp is £114.99, but I'm doing it at £99.99+p&p until Sunday the 13th September.

Will you be getting spares and upgrades at the same time or will they be in the next order?

Default spares

Right now, I've only ordered the kits, but I'm about to email the rep to send me a full list of spares, one of many thing I probably forgot to ask at the time. I imagine the weaker points on it will be the same as with most cars, the wishbones, steering arms, and possibly on the f1, the rear wing. Just remembered that I should order some bodyshells too, but I do tend to order parts that people tell me they brake, or that I brake, as I'm going to have one too.

Anything in particular that you want or you think I should get, then please let me know, I'm still learning at this, probably always will be.

Just got an email back, as soon as they have a list, I'll get sent one, which will probably be next week when I'm away on my hols. Anyone who wants a copy though, send me an email, and I'll send you a copy when I get chance (I'll take my laptop with me).
