for $200 you can have a fully hopped up f1 rc. this comes with alum upper arms, knuckles, toe links, castor adjuster, alum motor mount with 3 fans, rear t bar, lower deck, upper deck, hex wheel adapters, upper deck to servo mount bars, titanium screw kit and titanium friction plate. that is alot of hopups for only $200...

what really caught my eye was the front arms... why would you have them reverse like that?

i really like the lower deck, thicker(3mm as opposed to 2.5) plus its thinner in the front, and has the extra hole for the f1 front wing. im goingt to school for my masters in physics and tone see how this is beneficial from a physical standpoint. the only thing that comes to mind is thier steering knucles are long. this may be positioned to make for that difference in distance. any insights?
This chassis conversion is really strange.Its made to turn your F103GT in to a long wheel base F103 for F201 tires,wheels and bodies. If you think about its a different idea that might be good for somebody,who I dont know but its nice to see new ideas.
