lol yeah in other words applied electric current to the motor..........unless of course it's a shelf queen?

The Hedgehog

I think you're onto something [8D]

I have a F104Pro for running, and racing.

Willystylz

LOL i forgot to tell you i have a bad memory!

The Hedgehog

Oh, no, I didn't mean to be smug, just my online humour doesn't always pass through correctly.

Anyway this is a nice model, and I will take pictures of my F104Pro once I install all the hopups. Even though its the pro version, there are still tons of hopups.

Mine finally showed up last night!! Couldnt locate one locally so had to order it. Iam totally new to this kind of car. I have strictly raced off road cars for years and now short course trucks. As a kid I had the tyrrell AFX car and it was FAST! I would clean up with that car! This car always was impressive I had to have it in RC.

I wanna put a better motor in my tyrrell. The Kit comes with a standard Tamiya 27 turn brushed motor....Any recommendations? Whats Race approved for this class? I do wanna race with it!!

Spur and pinion info would also be helpfull.

Thanks!

Hey guys, It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I hope you’re all doing well. I thought I’d post up some pics of a cars I worked on this weekend. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out and thought I’d share.

Willystylz

Nice Vyger!!![8D] Can't believe nobody's commented on your latest creations!

Here's a couple pics of my F104 with yet another set of rims/tires (Ride black luster/Ride super soft F&R)

fritzzzz

They are all brilliant and beautiful, as soon as I saw these up went in search of a F104 to make my own but I wonder if they can just live life as a shelf queen....

I just built up a TA-05 IFS and it took a huge amount of time to do, I am not looking forward to the first time it touches something more solid than it.

Hi,

I want to get a 1/10 Rc F1 car and build a small circuit for racing with friends.
I'm new to RC so i have a question.

I will try to build a copy of an actual F1 track.
As far as i can see, the scale speed of the RC cars can be very high but if the lap time on the curcuit is 1m55s for example, i want my RC car to complete the circuit around that time to get realistic lap times.
How should i make the calculations to achieve that?The car size/track length/car speed?


Thanks...

houseofpain

If you're looking to achieve the same lap times as a real race, then there really aren't any calculations to make. Time will be fixed and displacement will be fixed which leaves one variable - velocity...

The size of the circuit you construct will be 1/10th the size of the real thing; the size of the car is fixed at 1/10th scale, so adjust your driving accordingly, for which there are no calculations because lap times are based on "average" velocity around a circuit or "average" speed which cannot be measured or calculated other than by completing a lap...

Just build the circuit as accurately as possible and adjust your driving so that you produce lap times around 1m 55s and that's all you can do...


Cheers

If you are anywhere in southern California then... Come race this Sunday

Please a minute of silence :cry:

I was wondering would you guys recommend, the HPI F10 , or the Tamiya f104 for a first time on roader. I have a slash 4x4 and a slash 2wd before that,so i am not a total newb to rc. Or would you recommend to get a sedan type car first then once my skills are better then get the HPI F10 or tamiya? What would you recommend? I was thinking about the kyosho tf-5s. I will be not racing in the foreseeable future. Thank You D

I just picked up an older F103, Its a completely stock roller. Looking for what would be good upgrades for this car. Chassis/motors/ecs/tires. Car as of now isnt going to be a racer, no one around here has a class for these. I am familiar with the Castle Brushless, I run Sidewinder 5700"s in a custom Clod, Would 5700's be to much in this chassis?
