I love this thing. I have a F103 and as much as I love it, I keep having a hard time finding parts for it. The F201 was great, but I think part of the flop was that it was pricey. I wanted one but couldn't afford it.
I think this chassis may be perfect for a spec class. Hand out motors and/or batteries, and let the drivers setup and driving skill determine the race.

PM me with what you are looking for, I probably have it or have it coming

I asked 3racing about tyre size.
They said it will use it's own wheels with both rubber and foam tyres available.

I also emailed 3 racing about this car and they said that Tamiya bodies will NOT fit it. Bummer!
Tamiya still makes the most realistic and best detailed bodies. Although, I will admit that the body they showed on the car done up as either the Red Bull or as the Ferrari did look pretty good!
I do think they may have made a mistake by having it use only it's own wheels and tires; but having said that, I am sure that some aftermarket companies like Exotek or Yeah will come out with adapters so that you can mount Tamiya wheels/tires.

Looks like my 109 is staying on the track for now!

IMHO i don't think the FGX is going to replace the F1-09, for one simple reason: most of rules state that a solid axle is mandatory.
On the other hand i don't think independent rear suspensions can result in a significant performance advantage over solid axle suspensions.

Independent suspension=better cornering
Most tracks I run on, I'd take the cornering.....

Are you guys sure the tires are different? All this says is that the wheels are different (probably just a different offset or something). The tires look like 104 style tires to me, but I don't have a 104 so I'm not very authoritative on that subject

I also doubt it will be hugely popular but 3racing has already made a huge contribution to the standard F1 class by providing a large selection of aftermarket parts not to mention their own car! They'll probably end up with another f201 but they've done their part to promote f1.

Wonder if this car will be allowed to race at big F1 events? Hope the standard foamies are better then the 109 ones.. as they are crap.. and if its going to be hard to get tires that have grip.. this will be a problem..

I find the stock 109 tires to work very well for me
