Yes, the blue/white BMW is the FGX on rubber tires and the Ferrari is the f104W on foam tires. Not sure what compound foam but must be really hard since foam should be more hooked up.
I am the driver of the FGX
Drive out of the corner is where the FGX excels. Took lots of tuning to get it to drive that way. Out of the box it pushed like a dump truck. I broke most of my front ends by going wide all the time and hitting the outside board. Now the control is much better.

I still think the lateral placement of the battery and the weight towards to the rear of the F103 will give it more traction than the F104W in the hands of the same driver.
I'd like to see a really well setup F103 vs an FGX before I fork out for one yet, because the F103 is still legal here in the UK for the SPC-UK.
And I don't think the FGX will ever be, which gets puts me off getting one.

To me F1 is not about all out performance, the scale looks and driving characteristics is important too. If I really want to go fast I grab the 12th scale.

It looked like Marc Rheinard was driving that white fgx !!! Good run, and it will get better when put some reactive caster up front.....

I'm attempting to set-up a speed passion citrix with a 21.5V2.
I've changed the spur gear to a 35T and I'm attempting to attached a 34T pinion, but for the life of me the pinion simply doesn';t have enough room....I'd be lucky to get a 20T on. That, and the fact the motor hit's the post at the end so no room for movement.
how are people getting motor and pinion to fit to give a half decent rollout/fdr.

When I was building the front steering knuckles, and was tightening the set screw for the king pin, I wondered why they thought they needed an e-clip in the center of the pin. Yesterday, on it's first couple of laps at the track, I tapped a board, and wondered "Why in the hell did they think they needed an e-clip in the middle of the king pin."

Front
Ride super soft
3* caster/2* camber/zero toe
.018" springs
ride height 5mm
Rear
Ride super soft
1* camber/2* toe
stock FGX springs 1 hole pistons 80 associated oil with 3 o-rings used as a bump stop between shock body and spring perch to keep the chassis from bottoming in the corners (really want to just get stiffer springs whenever they are available)
Added 1mm shim to the ball end that the shock connects to for more leverage over the suspension (also to make the spring seem stiffer)
6mm ride height.
Mugen 10k diff oil
I could use a touch more on power steering but this set up works well and is very easy to control.
