You have to cut the mount for it to fit, no choice...

You don't need to cut the tabs if mounting the servo horizontally

When i put my servo horizontally, the tabs were in the way of the servo arm and ballstuds

Wasn't an issue when using the savox 1251mg. I do remember using some spacers on the steering hub to make the arms sit horizontal.

Just bought the F104 v2 kit, wondering what servo would be good for a new F1 driver? Would prefer to not spend a lot of $$

Go for the Savox SC-1252MG; good price and perfect size.


@ Trav515: try silver springs in front and the soft pig skin coloured springs in the rear for the big damper and the side springs together with the kit oil. If its still loose try harder springs in front and tire additive for the rear tires only.

Do a search for 1/5 scale f1 or post a picture of the chassis

I just bought and built a F104V2 last month and I'm getting back into r/c racing after a 4 year absence. What a blast! I've gone back and read all 110 previous pages to read up on my new ride, and I have a few questions that I hope haven't been answered. Our club, The Roadrunners have a outside asphalt track, and the grip is medium plus, as long as the wind doesn't blow the dirt from the farm fields that surround the track.
When installing the thrust bearing in the diff, is it run dry, or do you put a little grease in it? When installing the optional metal uprights, I know to push them up against the spacers and tighten set screw. What front droop do I then want to set for our track? I put the optional TRF damper in the rear and spaced the piston shaft for 3.5 rear droop.
From what I've read, the less the traction, the "softer you make your car", right?
We've got some really good racers that come up and race with us, and they've been helpful. It's just 2 weeks between races, and I want to be ready on race day (next Sunday) Many thanks to those who support this thread and contribute!

QUestion: Is the stock spur gear that comes with the kit a 64p? If not can I replace it with any spur gear or do I need an adapter or special spur

ijdod

The thrust bearing needs some grease.

Tamiya typically has a metric pitch spur. You need a small adapter ring for 64p spur gears. So, either run Tamiya-size spurs and pinions, or run a 64p spur and pinion with an adapter.

The kit spur is 0.4 module, not 64dp. To fit a standard spur gear you need the Tamiya spur gear spacer http://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/produ...w.asp?p_id=881
