Got to run the Exotek conversion kit for the F104 yesterday,and I must say it was a good first outing.
With very little prep time on the car, on an outdoor asphalt low grip dusty track when all the drivers (namely corallys) complained of vary grip conditions throughout the day, out of the box I was 0.3 second away from my previous fastest laps when the track was in much better condition grip wise. I played with the ride height in the rear a little by increasing it,and that changed the car for the better.
I ran with tamiya rubbers all round as I have all year. I struggled with the car mid corner on sweepers, and I felt I lost time because of the amount of understeer I got, but when I figure out what adjustments to make to get better mid point turn in on the sweeping corners, and get used to how the car feels when driving, then I will be quicker and more consistent.
Must say, if you are thinking of getting, you will not be disappointed.
