Hi Guys,
Any idea how much a set of Proline F1 Hawgs are worth, un-run but have been fitted.

Looks like a good deal. I don't know much about the F201's, but looks to be well sorted. Body looks nice.
Any quality RC car for less than $100 is a deal in my book.
Cheers,
Skottoman

Well the f103 came today and it's very nice with a lot of upgrades and extra stock parts. My question is where can I get rear tires Tamiya is out and tower has nothing for these cars. Also where can I get rubber tires for it .

Hi All,

I've read through this thread with great interest. Boy these cars are impressive.

Does anyone know of a good comparison / review between the F103 and F201?

Thanks

Thanks - another newbie question but I am trying to work out how to buy a F103 and I came across these

F103GT Courage LC70 Mugen w/Finished Body
http://www.stellamodels.net/catalog/...oducts_id=2540

Can you use that kit and then just buy a body and some wheels?

If not, is the only other option to buy an Anniversary Edition?

Thanks

The F103GT is wider than a F103 R,M,T or anniversary, a F103 GT can use 190mm car bodies or touring car bodies

Thanks - is the rest of the chassis just like a F1 F103?

Tires are nice and cheap! Bodies seem cheap too

Yes the chassis is like the F1 but the front suspension and rear pod/axle are wider and the diff is different

Thanks so much for your responses

The only F103 version I can find in stock is the Anniversary edition here
http://www.stellamodels.net/catalog/...oducts_id=3736

And RM versions out of stock here...
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-tam...cPath=420_1167

Any other suggestions on where to look apart from eB?

all i can suggest is that you keep an eye on rcmart, they have restocked the f103 rm 3 times since last November with 30 kits each time being sold out in a couple of weeks , of course you could hang off for the new f103 with the merc le mans shell that tamiya has listed as coming soon on tamiya America ,
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/com...p?sub-id=36100 ,
tamiya are no doubt frantically working on more as there seems to be a mass revival of the f1 class, no wonder they are superb fun,

Thanks - I've signed up to get notified.

I like the look of the Le Mans one but really want one with a F1 body.

Cheers

Hi Flourine coated, the 58351 Merc C11 is actually a re-issue of the original 58088. Its not the F103 chassis but a Grp C ABS bathtub chassis with a T-bar. This car uses the same chassis as the Ferrari f40, Mazda 787B and Jaguar XJR12 which were all re-issued a few years back.

No worries mate. To be honest, when I first saw the kit number listed under the Nuremberg toy fair list, I thought it was strange that they are doing a re-issue of a re-issue... Hope they do that for the F40, Jag, and 787B too.

Hi ,the measurements seem all good, i would check with tower to make sure that the offset is ok ( you dont want them to rub the rear wing ), if you give them a go let us know how they work out.
