Regardless of how well it handled or how fast it was...out of the box the F201 was built more like a toy than a race car. The plastics they used was the same as their toy level cars and the amount of tweak that car would retain was horrible. Even after the chassis was changed out to a good aftermarket one the car still needed additional bracing (which came about later) for the suspension arms and for the rocker arms because the gear boxes had too much flex. Even the tuned version failed to over come the short falls of the design. The independent suspension and in-board shocks were very cool...But the application of the design was sorely lacking. I was extremely pleased to see the old F103 design return and the F201 design retire. Now if we eventually get a fully independent F103 with inboard shocks...I'll be very happy
