I'll read through the previous pages of this forum this week and see if I can find out about the wheels. I'm positive I have read somewhere what wheels are usable with the Pit tires. I'm pretty sure the Sakura FX wheels are an option but I will verify.

Are you going to run the stock type battery pack or are you converting everything over to a shorty?

How are you going to deal with gearing? (2.6 FDR)

I've had a few F1's over the years (2wd) and I'm not thinking the F201 will be overly compatable with them in 2wd mode but I could be wrong. I think weight and gearing will be stacked against you pretty heavily.

Regardless, the F201 is the coolest design I've seen yet and definitely worth the time to revive even if it won't be on the top of the podium.

I'm planning on setting mine up with a 17.5 and will run with a full body to protect the suspension. Our 17.5 class is small and fairly laid back so I'm going to try it out there for fun.
