Cool F1 bodies for sale

Stumbled across this website:

Really good range of shells, wings and decals

No guessing which one i've treated myself to:wub

[cunawarit]

Cool, bodies. I'd go for the McLaren MP4/6 or Lotus Honda 99T.

Shame there's no Lotus 49 or Lotus 38 Indycar :) With suitably scale rubber tyres they would look great!

[Chris56]

Also like the older McLarens - especially the long/low MP4-4

I went for the JPS Lotus 98 in the end

Plenty more options available from Chevron (http://banzaihobby.com/radio-control/f1-formula-1-rc-car/chevron-models-accessories-body), Zen (http://banzaihobby.com/radio-control/f1-formula-1-rc-car/zen-racing-bodies) and TRG (http://banzaihobby.com/radio-control/f1-formula-1-rc-car/trg-f1-f103-f104-bodies)

For a Lotus 49 there's the VF1 shell (http://f1rclab.mybigcommerce.com/vf1-bodyset/) which looks like this when built up (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=dsc_0004q1ues.jpg)

I wish somebody would do the XJR9 but with the Silk Cut decals

[Chris56]

Well it finally arrived!. Decals were tricky as they were the airfix style transfers rather than stickers. Hopefully this one wont catch fire.

Looks nice Chris,although you should have got the Niki Lauda one for the full effect of when you plug it all in :thumbsup:

OOooh.... harsh dude! Very harsh....

[Chris56]

He's right though! Perhaps the reason Lauda's Ferrari caught fire had nothing to do with the fuel spill and everything to do with the fact that its electrics were running off Gens Ace Lipos!

OOooh.... harsh dude! Very harsh....

Harsh,in what way?

Chris you could be right,

Well let's hope the head doesn't fall off when you hit the wall :lol:

^ irony

[leedolby77]

Never upset a Niki Lauda fan, ever............:p

[leedolby77]

Anyway, it's been a while since someone has put down the touring class........

I'm not taking to you as you are letting the side down :lol:

[leedolby77]

I am a clubman guy now through and through!

Sorry I don't understand,your talking geekish

Did you say your racing the glory hunter class?

[The Doctor]

Hopefully this one wont catch fire.

Are you saying that your solution to the fire last week is "hope"? Are you going to race with your fingers crossed too?

Looks good though Chris.

[siddus74]

Chris .. WOW .. looks great, ill bring my 6 wheeler down just to make you look good and to add to your F1 experience :D

(I'm not going to just let you win though ....;) )

Really nice job ..:thumbsup:

Scott.

[leedolby77]

It will be nice to race against some F1 cars on Friday!!:thumbsup:

[siddus74]

Lee what car did you run last week?

Scott.

[leedolby77]

The 959 ( badly ) the F103 ( badly ) and set TQ with the F104. The F104 was completely kit, including the tyres

[cunawarit]

I'll be Mardaving it on Friday again. I enjoyed the insane straight line speed and seemingly endless grip... Got really good by round 3. Sadly it got crappy for the final (too much grip). I need to plan my additive applications better :)

I'm hopeful that the lil Mardave could give other direct drive cars a challenge now that it is fitted with a wing big enough to drive it through the gym floor. :thumbsup:

PS: Scott, the pod that you broke last Friday is only £1.99 :D go on! get it!!!!

[Dave Dodd]

I'll be running my stock buggy again now I've found all the bits for it to work :lol:
The cat is having some setup changes

[siddus74]

Thanks for the heads up Guy, but i'm so impressed with the TT02 ... done some setup up changes to it so may intrude on the tourers with it again this week and put the 6 wheeler around with Chris and lee in clubman ...

However I so so want to run my M06 Herbie ... just not enough classes :thumbdown:

Scott.

[cunawarit]

Don't you have a buggy? You could run a vintage Tamiya buggy in off road, the M06 in clubman, your Mardave in GT12 and the TT02 in touring...

[siddus74]

I do have a buggy, but I don't like it .. its not a Tamiya :thumbsup:

An attempting more than two classes it ludicrous!!! :thumbdown:

Ordered the motor pods ... postage was more than the items ... that sucks!

Scott.

[Chris56]

Anybody thinking of ordering one of those shells - THINK TWICE!!!

They look good but the wings are like glass: one small tap and they shatter so use Tamiya wings if you can!

With the decals - you would be best off scanning them and then getting them properly printed (thanks for the tip Stuart :thumbsup:)

In summary: great for making a shelf queen, poo for racing

[siddus74]

Not good Chris ... I hope you will have it ready for Friday buddy with whatever shell ...

Stuart and I raced at a Sunday event at Broxtowe in an all F1 heat .. brill!:thumbsup:

I came 3rd out of 5 with the Lotus, it really inspired me to get the Pro dialled in properly..

Ive installed a Tamiya 25T sealed can with kit gearing for WestBridgeford and am going to try it Friday.

Kit gearing on the Pro is 104T spur and 23T pinion with and option of 93T spur.

This time I have not gone with a Tamiya ESC as last time it kept cutting out, ive stripped a Traxxas VXL that's 15 turn capable so I can definitely draw the amps if I need too, however I think the kit gearing may be pants.

Scott.

Good, I always aim to have at least one Traxxas part in all my builds :D
