come's with 98T 64P spur gear. you can replace the spur gear with anything you want.. the kit come with a spur gear adapter.

Hi guys, in fact i have order from my LHS to have 1 too in the future.

But i want to make some request now:
Could somebody tell me if ZEN and TRG bodyshells fits F109.
If this car could using F103's diffuser from any brand?
Could somebody suggest me to using the hard front suspension set of F103 of TRG or Tamiya, since that orginal 1 is fragile to be tweak.
About the main shaft, somebody with this car in the hands could tell me if is FRP or carbon. If is FRP, could i use that carbon 1 of Tamiya?

Best regards

if it fits the F103's it will fit on the F109.
the main shaft is FRP.. and same size as the F103 from Tamiya.. they both weight the same... no reason to upgrade.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately i am still doubt with some issues.
If the hard front suspension of TRG fits, then i want to ask if anybody will change to use it rather than that original 1 of F109, in fact that hard 1 could not adjusting caster. Anyway, tell me if really care or not to adjust caster, please?
Ok, looks the bodyshells are commongly useful.
But how about the diffusers, in fact the motor mount is different as the F103, maybe even the screws position will be different. And how about those 2 turnbuckles in below, will not be the obstacle to putting the diffusers?

Best regards

I have been really suprised to see how many F1 parts will work across multiple platforms. Bodies, wings, Wheels all seem to work on any chassis.

Hey all...I just ordered one of these. I noticed they come with 64 pitch gears.

My issue is..i will be racing a 540 motor in the car for our series and I was wondering if someone can help me figure out a starting point for gearing? Very much appreciate the help in advance

Could anybody tell me if i can put f103 aftermarket(ABC, TRG) diffusers at this car?
If use aftermarket(TRG, ZEN) bodyshell, need to buy another wing set.

Best regards

snoopyrc 10-04-2009 10:00 PM

Isnt there a whole lot of cross compatability between all of the F103/104 style cars? Dont the bodies fit almost all of them just like TC bodies fit 190 or 200mm chassis? I think if you buy a wing set for an F104 it will probably fit the 3racing car.
