F103 all graphite inline config - what version is it?
Guys, I need your opinion on a F103 car I bought today.
Never have seen such car but I´m far from being a F103 expert.
I just knew this is not the typical F103 car.
Beside the t-bar it´s full graphite with the battery located inline. So a different topdeck.
Has also a balldiff with graphite axle, a TRF center shock and a threaded/nut setup for the friction dampener.
Wheels are different again with larger diameter rims. The seller told me the name for the rims but I can´t remember now.
I will have pictures tomorrow but maybe someone have an idea already from the details.

Some pictures for my F103 now.
Which basic version is it and what´s the conversion kit?
And what type is the body?

Re: F103 all graphite inline config - what version is it?
Indeed it´s a F104W. Just got the information.
But it´s not the basic version.
The F104W is the only F104 car which got the F103 front end, because it´s more wide.
But beside the front end it´s more like the F104 Pro.
Because all of the option parts are used as the graphite chassis and top deck, graphite damper plate, TRF center shock, graphite rear axle, blue aluminium ball diff parts etc.
The body also is "borrowed" from the F104 Pro.
Wheels are unknown

I believe the front ends were interchangeable between the F103 and F104 so you may have a Pro chassis with a swapped front end.

I´m not an expert at all for the Tamiya Formula cars.
But I got the message it looks like a F104W which it does. Beside all of the option parts.
The seller also told me he exchanged many of the parts for graphite. So it looks like this way.
But the car has just very little signs of use, because it was just run for one race at carpet.
Actually it is race ready as everything is here including a Lipo.
