It will be nice to meet some of the guys in person. I'm keen to see the F1 in action. Perhaps I'll bring out my 1/5 scale unicorn too. It's a real rarity, moreso than the old school FG bodies.

This past week I fitted a Jetpro non-silenced pipe to it and had a chance to run it today.
Also dressed up the original body with a wiper, antennae, and mirrors.

Here's a video of today's run.
Started recording at cold start to show if there would be any issues starting with the new pipe. There were none. I noticed more torque down low, and a better idle.
I ended up beating up one of the tires though.
Good thing I have the originals painted and ready to go

Looks like you had some serious fun.
Like the way the bodyshell changed colour from grey to orange and lost it's new mirrors as well, but that's a minor point!!
Running very smoothly, and not THAT loud.

Thanks Al! Lol, I didn't think anyone would have noticed he color change, maybe it was the heat given off from the new pipe

In your build you had a picture of a 2 speed. If you think she is fast now put that 2 speed on there and look out!!

Looks great. I have a couple of friends that are getting into 1/5th scale. I hope to plan a weekend where we can all come by and visit.

I don't think I have enough room for the 2 speed where I run my car at the moment. I had it in, but never saw 2nd gear so I switched back to single speed for now.
I can only imagine what it would be like!

There is a possiblity you don't have the tranny adjusted right. My tranny shifts in about 30 feet.
The 2 speed won't make it any faster as in top speed , 2nd gear is the same ratio as it is when stock with the single speed unless you can find a 47mm 2 speed hub and run 38/26 for 2nd gear. I just put a 2 speed in my FG but I'm running 46/18 gears for better take off for 1st gear so I can hear it shift. Cause you won't hear it shift with the gears it comes with
