Decided to get back into F1 cars so I could use some help and advice. I have 2 cars that haven't been run in years. 1 Tamiya FW18 (I think ) shelf queen and 1 TRF F103LM that I bought used years ago. It had been converted to the F1 chassis.
1. Would prefer to run rubber tires....where are you folks getting them at ? It doesn't appear Tamiya makes them any more ?
2. From what I'm reading the F103 is still a decent car to run. Any particular upgrades I should consider getting?
3. Like to run brushless with lipo. Any particular chassis conversion that might be best for this ?
4. Anybody suggest going with the F104 or something else ?? ...If so, why ?
5. What ever happened to MLP ?? They seemed to have some awesome stuff.

Thanks in advance...I feel like I'm a hundred years out of touch with F1 rc.
I'm on my iPhone so I can't sit here an answer all if you questions right now, but D-drive sports has a few vintage bodies on their site for you to look at
