TUNING TIPS:

I like Formula 1 gas cars, and because there were no truly 1/10th scale gas models available, I decide to build one myself. It is a very hard design to do due to the small size of Formula 1 cars. Everything was a tight fit, but in the end everything worked out.

This is a 1/10th scale scratch built Formula 1 gas car. The main chassis was a Kyosho Rampage gas car. The stock aluminum chassis was replaced with an RC 10 graphite chassis. The front end is composed of RC 10 arms, while the rear are stock rampage arms with old style hub carriers which narrows the rear width to scale proportion. The body is a 1/10 Tamiya F1 Williams body shell, the front wing an RC 10 off road wing, while the rear wing was fabricated from lexan sheets.

The OS CZ-R engine is locate in the center of the chassis, while an associated fuel tank is located to its left side and the receiver battery on its right.
