That looks a lot more realistic that the other F104 bodied car. Really cool if its priced similarly then it would be around $375.

Looks cool. Too bad it's not on an F201 chassis.

Not sure where you're coming from. I used to race F201's, they performed as well as any TC that was out at the time. Tamiya should have taken note of the 3racing chassis that was available back then and did a non-plastic version.

At least tamiya has a full top deck on this chassis. The F-103 had it as a hop-up. The T bar and gear box look to be the same as the F-103.

In addition to a boat load of other hop ups, I have the 3R carbon chassis for mine. The problem I had is that you can't gear it low enough to keep the motor from overheating.

I am just happy I will have a proper body, or close to it, for a Vettel Red Bull Racing replica.

We just ran Sport Tuned motors in ours, so overheating was never a problem. I wish I could remember the gear ratio we ran, it was different than stock. It ran pretty quick that that Sport Tuned, and it handled so well.

Mine will end up looking like this. Hopefully the Ferrari won't be factory finished.
