Ok guys I have few questions. First off I have been doing rc cars for approximately 20 years now. I mainly race oval and touring. I have always been a fan of IRL and F1. I am wanting to build a car. What kit do you recommend?
Thanks for all the help and keep the pics coming on this awesome thread!

the current kits that are hot are:
Tech Racing F125BR(or TY) <--decent price, unknown handling/performance, 2009 body styles
Tamiya F104Pro <-- decent price, Tamiya Quality, beautiful 2008 bodywork, unknown handling due to battery position change
TRG F108/09 <-- expensive ($300+), awesome-looking chassis, needs body work
Corally F1 NGX<-- pricey ($300), nice chassis, esablished handling, non-scale front end (12th scale parts)
Then there's the HPI Formula10 but it's more of an introductory car, until they come out with a PRO version

true... there is always the F103
as far as the Cross car is concerned... what's parts availability like in the 'States?
the cars I mentioned are really new so parts are/should be readily available to those people who wish to race F1 in the US

Tamiya F103RM (includes body-perfect to start)
Tamiya F103R (15th Anniversary edition-carbon frame) more expensive but comes with all the advance parts. You will end up spending a lot more geting them on your own.
Were to buy?
I will pick the F103R From e-bay
The F103RM is scarce. The last time I saw they had bouth kits at:
http://www.rcplanet.com/SearchResult...x=0&Search.y=0
A bit pricey but in stock.
Cheers!
Jenson's / Brawn-Mercedes unstoppable at 6... Is Silverstone 7?
