Is there a special spur gear required?

Kind regards,

I purchased a kawada 75T 48dpi Spur for the ball diff. it is works perfect.

Hi,

never heard of RW before. Do you have a link for the homepage of this company?

Kind regards,

For now I coat them with silicone (clean and reapply every week) and have installed Speedmerchant damper tubes with a custom rocker mount on the arm. The tubes need to be shortened a bit. Cool thing is it seems like only the HPI can run this mod and I've noticed it really helps out the bounciness the car had before...
Mike, is this HPI rims on the photo (optional Foam set) or rims for Tamiya f103?

Yesterday was RC F1 race in Moscow on the Kievsky track.
The track was wet.
HPI F10 was very fast and stable in these conditions, in comparison with Tamiya f103, and i easily won this stage

Nice pic!

Have you modded the front nose of the body? Looks very very low...

Does anyone have a part number for just the rear axle on the foam tire diff? I would like to have a spare.
