Pulling the trigger on a new F1

[magnum]

FG Supply said they would have some more in a few weeks after the worlds.

I have ordered a set. We will know soon if these will work or what will be required to make them work.

That is cool.
Be interesting to see.

I have the front end of mine stripped down right now. Trying to get all the "slop" out of the front suspension.
I've already renewed the pivots on the front Push-rod linkages electing to throw the plastic bushing and going with a hardened pivot pin the bearings ride on directly.
More red-end bearings are on the way. Should have the front end back together by next week

Are you sure they were plastic? Mine appeared to be plastic but actually had low metal content. Would barely stick to a magnet.

I confess I did not inspect them that close.... Interesting.

Fg f-1 wins the nationals!!

For all those guys thinking the FG Comp car is not the way to go-- my FG Comp just took the win at the US Nat's:cup-1:-- against 2 RS5 cars and 4 sportline cars AND Luis's new car. Luis car DID run good-- but FG took the top 3 spots!! I built the car completely STOCK just like the FG manual--did not change anything but oil in the shocks and ran red springs all around with stiff sway bar settings and the car was MONEY!! FG cars are still good---RS5 might be better but not that day.
FWIW

PS--there is video of the cars on the GLARCRC.COM website -- for some reason they haven't published the F-1 finals ---but it's on the VSmodelsports page!
