Hey guys, another question about getting our f1 class off the ground. We want to run a spec tire and wheel. I cant seem to find any available mounted tires w/wheel, but what Im wondering is if the HPI f10 wheels are compatible with the tamiya/3racing hubs.
I guess the other option is running the tamiya tires and wheels, but if they dont fit the HPI then we will have the same issue, just in reverse.

I would just go in my basement and find out for you, but I don't have those option parts for my F10.
But if it is in fact true then thats really the only option to run a spec tire and still be allow the HPI to run.
Correct away F1 guru's!

Yeah Ive got a couple of f103's here(Ill be running one in the class when we get it rolling) and the hubs arent hex style like the HPI. Ill check the HPI site out for those adapters, that would really simplify the whole thing! Thanks dude, are you going to make it up to the track soon?

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Tamiya's foam tire rims, and rubber tire rims use the same mounting. And I believe HPI sells option parts for the F10 to run tamiya foam tires. So I would assume that means Tamiya rubber would also work......? I think.

You can buy parts for the F10 to use 103/104 wheels, but it is expensive.
If you set the 103 up like a f103GT, it might be able to use F10 wheels, but that would depend on the wheel diameter and clearances.

I don't know what you mean by clamp hubs. The F10 and touring cars both use the standard 12mm hex. The rear of the 103 and 104 are like a 16mm hex or something like that, the fronts are straight axles taking wheels with bearings.
The F103GT had parts to use 12mm hex wheels, but that may or may not work for you due to clearances on the wheels. . Either way, somebody has to buy a bunch of parts. Have you thought to look and see if one manufacturer offers different tires in the same compound to fit the different rims?

Tamiya's website from Japan has it listed from the Tokyo Hobby show a couple of weeks back.

It's not practical. HPI, F103 and F104 includes all different wheels. It would be simpler just to spec rubber tires only for instance.

To my understanding there will be...however...I'm not sure when it will be out...same time as the kit?...or after the kit?

Tamiya released a left side clamp on hub for the 104. It gets rid of the wheel stopper and tube and integrates them into one piece. That piece clamps on the axle instead of being locked in with a set screw
Its blue and pretty
