HI I'm looking to maybe buy a F103 chassis second hand (F1 type) and want to convert it so i can run Le Mans type Gt bodies like the Advan Courage and old Porsche GT1. Is it simple to take the formula 1 car (F103) and convert it to run the le mans body instead of the formula body and can anyone let me know the parts I'd need to buy to convert and if the parts are readily available..
Tamiya makes the F103GT with a Finished Advan Courage LC70 body. It could end up costing you more to buy a brand new LC70 (finished) body, a second hand F103 F1 chassis and parts to convert it unless you already have the body. See link.

Hi Thanks for the input i was thinking that also.... I really like this 1/10 200mm pan car body by proline as seen at-
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140269331814
- Do you know if that body (200mm pan car) would fit the F103 or would it be too wide to even consider?
- Are the smaller rubber tires on the F103GT easy to convert to the wider foams like on a F103RM and what is needed to convert from touring car rubber to wider foams? is the overall width of the car with the foams and rubbers the same (i.e the rubbers just sit further out on the axle)???
- Would this chassis be good for superspeed runs in a wide open flat area's (I've seen some TC4's doing 100+MPH) so i wanted to do a sort of speed project with 3.5T brushless in an F103? your thoughts?
Thanks a lot!
