Just got my F103 on the road after a year or so of sitting. Scored it on ebay for $10 bucks.

What i'm looking for is a new front wing, rear wing, body and diffuser set. I've been to D-Drive and am having trouble deciphering all of the different wings and which bodies wil fit.

I found an adapter ring for the spur at my LHS, however the 104 tooth, 64 pitch gear seems WAY too large. I can go 100 and 88. Although i saw someone else used a 94. Any suggestions? I'm running some Type B rubber tires the LHS had on the shelf. I'm in Florida so that seems good enough for the hot concrete track.

It also looks as though i'll need a new axle soon, too much wear from the set screw on the spur side. Aluminum, Carbon Fiber?

Posted a pic since i'm totally new to F1. Maybe you guys can spot some issues i'd never notice.

Thanks!!!

PS-Please ignore the for sale notice in the pics, tried to sell it about 6 months ago. Glad i didn't!
