HPI's new F1
#286
The car has aluminum spindles and rear axle option parts that are specially for use of foam tires. With using those option parts, all foam tires for F103 can be used. (So Zen tire will fit on F10!) But the tire in the picture is HPI's prototype that will be available soon.
Thanks,

Hello guys,
Sorry for taking long posting pictures but here they are!
I put 0.5mm shim in between the t-bar and o-ring so the t-bar is angled as you can see in the picture and it has more down travel. This will give you more on-power traction. I recommend to try it if your car is a little loose on-power.
I hope it helps.

ok. now your results make sence to me. you have the ball diff. i drove it on soft rubber with the stock diff, didnt work good at all. i need the ball diff. do you test for hpi ? you got all the hop ups, that i have been waiting for but cant find. how are the hpi foams, are they scale to the size or 103 size ? when can we expect them ?
Most of the option parts i have on my car is available. The foam tire rear axle, aluminum front spindles and the foam tires will be available soon i believe. I will let you know the ETA as soon as i know.
And yes, you can use 103 foam tires with using those spindles and rear axle.

ordered a F10 today!!! excited to build this thing up. i will be putting a 17.5 bl system in it for now. new carpet track just getting going near me, might need to switch to tamiya brushed motor before long. any idea if a SMC pack will fit, or if a dremel can persuade one to fit?

Did anybody read the review in RC Car mag? They usually do good reviews but they blew this one. Running an 8.5BL in a direct drive car, then complain that its overpowered. They said the Servo saver was mushy feeling when they were running a $120 200+oz./torque servo. Come on, use some common sense when your building a car especially when your reveiwing it for a Nationally published magazine.
I've got mine built, I replaced the bushings with ceramic bearings and the rear spring with a threaded oil shock I had laying around. Gotta wait on my Tx to get back before I can drive this thing, can't wait.
