This is next on my list after I buy a ff03 pro. I think I hear a rumor about my local track actually running a F1 class.

Agree 100%

Run the rear T bar, pivot plate and shock/spring as soft as possible with out freeplay in anything i.e. T bar center screw just barely seated, pivot plate adjuster nut just touching spring and minimal preload on shock spring (soft gold one if you can get one) with lite oil and 3 hole piston.

Diff grease on pivot plate and a thick diff oil on the upright posts up front for some dampening.

Good info guys, thanks...this will definitely help. The parts are shipping to me now, but I'll have to wait a couple weeks before I can put it all together.

Is the steel rear axle better than the CF axle for high grip (carpet) surface? Use with rubber tires.

A carbon fiber axle is going to make the car a few grams lighter, and create less rotational mass.

Had a chance to run my 104 today. My car spins out alot. Is that the nature of direct drive? Or is it my setup? I am running stock components w/ rubber tires. I am using a QC3 esc too.

Welcome to the club. Rear grip is the challenge with the F104. The solutions are to go as soft as you can with the rear suspension. The Tamiya super soft T-bar is a help. Make sure you use the o-rings and leave the center screw loose. Soft rear tires are also part of the deal. Get the Tamiya super softs and use them with the hard fronts. I've also had good luck with the Ride super soft rears, but you have to go to Hong Kong to get them. A slow steering servo also helps. I use a QC2 and it works fine.

One more thing, it also helps to get a super soft trigger finger. let off the throttle slowly, brake in a straight line and ease the throttle back on.
