In-car F1 action last weekend at the endangered Tamiya America track, courtesy of Rocket Rod Canare.
Camera is looking over Rod's shoulder in his TRF 101, at Edgar Fiallos' shiny new blue/orange TRF 103, and my aging all-silver F104 V2.
For best viewing, and to see how really hard the suspension is working in these cars, crank the viewing speed down to 0.5.
REALLY gonna miss runnin' with you guys!!

It really shows how hard the suspensions work on these cars!!!
What type of camera did you use to do this???
Thanks for the video!

The camera is an inexpensive SQ11 mini DV camera available on Amazon. The microSD memory card is worth more than the camera itself.

Hi All!
Could someone confirm- the TRF103 is NOT legal for TCS Nats at this time?

I emailed Fred about legality of the transverse pack in the trf103, (which he ok'd), so i assume the rest of the car is legal

I am way more concerned about the top lipo strap plate. When you run the lipo inline there are 2 small openings for the lipo plugs but the plugs will contact the carbon fiber. I wonder if Tamiya engineers realize that carbon fiber is conductive....

The original 104 pro body fits well providing you dont use the side pod attachments. The f60 or 2017 104 body should fit with enough trimming but in wouldnt look right.
