I have an F109, I put f104 rubber tires and rims on it. Now the ride height is 9 mm in the front. How can I get it down to 4 or 5 mm? Is there an easy solution? There's no way to shim it. We have to run rubber tires at the carpet track I race on. If the front king pin longer, I could put a shim under the steering block. What other car runs that size king pin? Does f103 make an optional front end? I know that tamiya makes shims for their front end.
Thanks, Floyd.

Alteranatively, you could do what i did and change the entire front end of the 109 to the 104 front end.
I have an f104 that i run on ashphalt and a 109 that i run on carpet. Both use 104 tyres, both have 104 front ends, and 104 body sets, and run the 104 diff/drive shaft. Makes it much easier for me parts wise.

What is going on in 109 land.
I have been having trouble finding parts here in the us.
I don't see too many/any kits/parts on Ebay anymore either.
Anything strange going on?

The best rubber tires I have found are RIDE... problem is they are next to impossible to find in the States... but you can easily order from Hong Kong... I do it all the time with no problems from RC Market... expect to wait about 16 days before they arrive... They are always on two week back order...

Tire Inserts
Has anyone tried experimenting with using some different tire inserts for better grip and handling of their car?
Was thinking of trying some 1:10 mini inserts or maybe cutting up some old touring car inserts.
Just interested to see if anyone has tried this already and what they found??
Am running Ride F103 med and TRG tires with a silvercan power if that is relevant.

Those red "shocks" are crc gen-x dampers cut down so the body fits.
I can run the pack front to back if I want to.
The rear located pack works better on carpet with foams.
Still a work in progress.... will keep you posted.
