Thanks KIK for letting me pilot your F1, it was surprizingly fun to drive!
I have one of those cars on my wishlist, just don';t enough about them to pick a chassis. The chassis does work on the track so I will be getting one & setting up & seeing just how fast I can get it around the track.
Brushless all the way!

Assemble and race. I dont think you can even adjust tweak on them.
Pan cars are Much easier to tune suspension wise than a touring car, mostly because there just isn't much you can do to them. Some cars let you adjust tweek (so that both sides of the car are sprung eavenly) which is as simple as adjusting two set screws so that when you place a penny on each rear tire and start to lift the car both pennys fall at the same time. I know my HPI doesn't let you adjust it and I'm unsure if you can or not in the tamiya car

In other news onelugIn Albertville is having a 6 race series every 3rd Sunday starting on the 20th. TC,Mini, F1, bsr 1/18 and pancar oval, and as many VTA's that want to race. Indoor season is here! They have ambrc w/handouts and plenty of food places nearby. It looks like I may have employment coming soon thank goodness. That means I can be in everybodys way again.

Oh and the bodies for the F10 suck to cut out
That much is true. When I got mine I tossed the body in the not to be used box. But, HPI does have much better bodies for it now. When I got it Marty at MLP asked me to send it to him since he had not seen one. It did not take long for him to call me back cussing about the car and what a pile it was. Then he put the options on it and liked it better. But he did not like the chassis. He put a viper chassis on it and sent it to Andy. It never made it to him because of his health. I have not heard from him since. He may be gone now.

Once again the winter series will start on the 20th at onelug in Albertville on the 20th and will be on the 3rd sunday of each month for 6 races. Get those TC's,minis, karts, F1's and vta's ready to rock. For the speed freaks out there pancar oval wil also be running on the carpet. You can bet Cooper will be looking for a challenge.
