then it needs some improvent so i ordered the yeah racing upgrade kit and the foam wheels. its going to be awsome F1

so the one you said yes to re mine that im holding for you . . . . .

You are going to be disapointed gazag!!!!! sorry mate me and marti were the first two in the country to own them we soon went to tamiya but i wish you luck with it buddy

it dont mean i dont want it still gazza, just another model to my collection


and paul, i wont be after the work ill be doing to it

Hi mate nice work at least your in f1 now. The hpi shell looks mental in lotus colours and the yeah racing conversion looks a good way to go. If you need set up tips chat to dez chand as he has the best handling hpi I have seen on carpet.

I was looking at the HPI till I found out the cost of the Hop Ups

Thats why I went for a the 3Racing F109.....cheap as chips and handles a dream

the f109 is the better car buy a ripping mile couldn't get the hpi to do what the tamiya did straight from the box and got humped by f109s week in week out.
Good luck with it gazag i hope the new conversion helps turn it into a decent car for you.

i hope it goes well too, got it built today and electrics into it, but the yeah racing conversion on its way along with some foam wheels (need to find foams for them).
im not doing anything fancy with the shell, probally a brught single colour and stickers. the fliping thing comes in about 6 pieces so will have to make shure its well stuck together.

Yeah the side pod winglets are poo! Gazag try mardave foams on to start with as I know Gazza did and they worked well. I can mail you some links aswell for places to order foam. Gecko do some that fit I believe.

it will take about 2 weeks for the bits to arrive (well 7-14 days) so ill wait for the wheels to come then size them up and decide what i going to do, i know though it will be very sticky rears and plenty of understeer on the front, just the way i like it

pod winglets?

LOL so when do u want mine

as i said gaz, nearer crimbo

i couldent risist this car for teh bargin it was, i had to mis out this weekend as i couldent affrod fuel
