either way i look at it, its still one of the best F-1 paint jobs i've seen in quite a while... I got a williams shell in a garage sale near my house last night. what luck! shell's still not painted and the stickers are still in good shape! i'm getting started in modifying the shell to fit the f-201...

I just remembered, you guys think its possible to fit the older F-103 rear wings to the F-201? a friend of mine had his f-201 rear-ended by a serpent impact. (dont ask me how) his f-201 rear wing got bashed up like barrichello's ferrari in australia... the replacement wings arent available yet here... what can we do??

I just had a look at my F103 PIAA rear wing...it does look as if you have enough material to hack two holes for a F201 mount.......but after doing that it looks like you will have to do some strengthening with magic steel!!! But it 'should' work!!!!.....maybe!!

no thanks, i ditched the wing coz its useless... you roll the car once and the wing breaks easily... i'm using my spare Sauber C13 rear wing... has more downforce and its adjustable...

Tommi...I ran the F201 for the first time today.......it is very good...much better than I expected!!!! but I think the Pit tires had a lot to do with it!!!

Although I bought the front one-way...I'm running full time 4WD....it had enough turn in to cope!!

Running 23T pininon is marginal on the plastic motor mount (I smell some plastic burning)....so I put on the Racy alloy motor mount!!
