Also guys, rear independent suspension is best for durability without increasing rotational mass...

Just picked up one of these and looking to get the electronics this weekend. Going to run it on the black carpet. Will a standard shorty pack fit in this car, or does it require the thin or low profile battery?

standard fits. I’m using team Orion and GenAce in mine. I did have one battery swell enuff to make contact with the shock.

Get yourself some of the thicker standoffs, they are far stronger and less likely to bend than the standard ones. Also, I found modifying the centre shock to be an extended rod type, with the ability to adjust droop and spring preload independently has helped a lot with tuning.

I've been considering getting the jconcepts LeMans kit and Layla body for my F6. Anyone here have one? Outdoor asphalt, would I be running a 17.5 In LeMans class? I assume the body itself will provide a fair amount more downforce than the F1 body does yeah?

I do. The body has a definite effect on it. Feels more stable. I’ve only done few basic runs with it using a 21.5 system. Brakes needed adjusting at the time of this video.

It’s hard for me to give a comparison. I’ve only got now 20 racedays with F1. And only few runs with the LMP version. Only once on proper surface. I’d had hoped to get a few others interested. They were hesitant about the open wheel of F1.
Right now now I definitely better with the F1. I know what it can do and I’m used to how it responds to my driving. Also know it’s quicker then I can currently drive. I watched it in the hands of much better driver. I do think the LMP has potential to be much quicker. Adding the body does make the car look a bit stronger. The 2 parts I’ve broken most on F1, front wing and side pod links, would not be a concern. This year I’ve had zero broken parts on F1 as my driving has improved, but still way off pace.
This is a fused video. Overlaps 2 videos. Closest I’ve come to running them together.

The LeMans is slower in the video, would you put that down to lack of driving time with that setup?
I agree that it should have the potential to be faster. I'm keen to set one up with a 17.5 and lay down some fast laps on our medium asphalt track!!

Cool video! That's great being able to watch them at the same time, very cool.

I’m hoping over fall and winter to get to the indoor track. I’ve got a 17.5 system not being used. Might have to give it a try in here. Just need to remember what box it’s in.

Hello everyone, im new to the F6 chassis and like everybody else i had a very tight front suspension. I was told to sand down this or that to free up the pivot balls but instead i used a 19/64 inch drill bit and drilled the holes in the upper arms. Now its perfect, its not super tight like before but also not loose where it falls out and no more tight suspension! If you're gonna try it remember to use a (19/64 inch drill bit). That size has worked perfectly for me.
