What F1 have I just scored

Post by vintage racer »

I just bought this from a church op shop.They wanted $3 but I gave them $5.I would have been happy to pay that for the servo.Im sure its Tamiya from the stubs and rod ends.Can anyone tell me exactly what I have here?My local track just started racing F1 so I would also like to know how they handle and if parts are available.Thanks,James.

You ripped off a church. See you in hell. :lol: Well, I guess giving them 166% of what the were asking will make up for it. Of course 666% would have been more appropriate. :lol: Nice grab. I never get that lucky. I always pull in to rummage sales, swap meets whatever's going and I've never found one hobby grade car. :roll:

I rarely find cars either but this was my second lucky find,the other was a Fast attack vehical for $20 covered in dust and a crappy paint job and it cleaned up allmost like new :mrgreen: .I really like this F1,can anyone tell me where or what tyres to fit.Im assuming I could just buy the foams and glue them up an get them trued.I also have an rc12 in need of new foam.

Any tire or rim for the F103 should fit. I don't think that changed between the 102 and 103
