3racing F109
#631

Here is my dilema. I was running my f109 for the 1st time to see how it drives. I was surprised on how it handles right out of the box. I had one issue though. When exiting a left hand sweeper and giving full throttle, the car is planted. When exiting a right hand sweeper and giving little throttle to full throttle, the car spins out. You guys have any suggestions on what I can be? The car is box stock. I am running the tamiya silver can motor with CC sidewinder ESC. Any help would be appreciated.

Yip they fit..thats what I used.
just remember that the threads are smaller for the ball end so need a 3mm tap I think it was if you want to reuse the F109 ones or get some with smaller threads to match.

Hi Guys
I've just put my 3 racing f1 09 together, first time I've had an f1. How do I set my caster to 4 ? there are markings from -2 to 6 but nothing I can see to line it up to. Also there is approx 2mm sideways play on the rear axle, is this normal ? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

i have no sideways movement on my rear axle
check that the differential mounting is screwed tightly to the axle

Read this post and apply it to your car- http://www.rctech.net/forum/6483727-post209.html
Also does your car balance side to side?

i saw that hpi is coming out with a new renault body. it looks pretty good and i thought it fit my 109 since the length of the car is about the same. then i saw the price of it, $47 for a body. thats ridicules. you can get the tamiya 104 f60 body with front and rear wing, wheel spats, stickers and the helmet for $26. hpi isnt going to go far with their f1 program with those prices.
