Thanks for the link. If I find an on-road track near to me, I may finally pull the trigger on the conversion and now know what is needed.

Hi all, one used F109 arriving to me
what pinion I need ? 48p or 64p ?

The kit comes with a 64p spur, if you've gotten one new. Since you bought used, it's possible the original owner swapped to 48p.

F109 is here.
Anyway I don't know how to adjust ride height... maybe is it not possible ?
I have the foam tyres.
If I change them for rubber ones, does the ride height raise ?
what rubber tyres I have to buy ?

Rear ride height is changed using the black offset inserts on the axle... front isn't adjustable out of the box but a trick a lot of people I know use is to replace the standard steering blocks with Tamiya ones and grind away the excess plastic. Only gives a couple of mm of adjustment but it is something.

Also the new Tuning Haus steering blocks allow some adjustment.

If using standard width then any F103 style rubber tyres will fit... most use Pit Shimzu... personally I prefer TRG but they aren't as easy to get

Do you mean the axle up and down spacer a0-a2 ?
Thanks

coderzone77

Someone please help me please
My F109 seems a bit different from what I see in the pdf manual
for example, look my photo:
Why mine is missing the rolling damper ?
And mine misses the upper fiber part and, strangely, my motor mount is made of plastic ?
Maybe do I have an "early" release of this chassis ?
I am in real trouble...

that's a f103 motor pod adapted to 109 bottom pod plate.
why-- i havn't a clue

coderzone77

Hi GasGod, you're great, you now really solved my question for good.
So the person who sold me that, changed some parts as now i remember he had a tamiya f103 too..
Too bad, now i have to buy and put the correct parts there....
Is it worthy?

Sorry to see you've been stitched up on that rear pod Here's what I was able to find that should fix it for you. You may need different rear ride height adjusters, but I'm pretty sure they're the same as the F103.

Good luck mate, it's a sweet little car when you get it dialed in

coderzone77

Thanks mate !!!
Just bought those parts,
but I see that i miss more things like
M3x6x6 aluminum post (for main damper...)
The rolling shaft and its bearings..
well, I can fix those soon

RCMart have the rolling shaft - http://www.rcmart.com/3racing-f10911...=595_1419_1420 - and the bearing are just 4x8's

good luck with the aluminium post... but any 3mm spacers made up to 6mm will do

Hi all, look these tyres:
http://www.dmmodel.it/gomme/gomme-on.../ri-26022.html

Are they OK for F109 ? or they are specified for F104?
I can't find preglued rubber tyres for F109

Acid_CZ

Car will look weird (wider front, narrow rear), unles you already change original front by F104 front. You will also need 4pcs 10x5 front ball bearings as F109 use 8x5. Try to look for preglued F103 rubber tires, these are direct fit.

coderzone77

Thanks !
Can you tell me where i can buy those f103 preglued rubber tyres please?
