Very nice! I am a big fan of full tuned plastic chassis. Unfortunately I am stingy to buy it myself. So nice to see you doing it

I always wonder if many of those parts actually do anything...

Well, this week I will be cutting anotehr 60-70g off my car :-) We'll see if that helps.

The CF parts I installed are definitely lighter than the stock plastic parts. Also they are stiffer. The aluminum bumper mount and rear shock tower mounts are lighter too, and of course, looks way cooler to be honest. Hahaha!

Can you get me some weight differences? If the carbon towers are actually lighter.. I'll need to do that. A lot of the aluminum bling up front can't be lighter thant he plastic bits.

Hi everyone. I'm interested in the tamiya FF03 chassis but wanted to ask the opinions of those still using the chassis. Is it still possible to get replacement parts and upgrades easily? I see I can still pick up a NIB kit from overseas somewhere, but I'm hesitant due to trying to find parts and upgrades locally. I wanted to start racing USGT, and wanted to be different and use a FF. Would you say the FF03 would still be competitive? I mainly want to have fun, not looking to take the podium...(yet) .I appreciate any thoughts and feedback .
