Okay I got my f1 in today, it has alot more hopups than I thought (since it was stock I guess anything was more than i thought) I test drove it on my track, and it pulls really bad to the right, I maxed out the controll setting, so i need to make the adjustmen on the board, only problem i can't get the dang body off! so whats the catch.

right above the rear suspension plate you can use a little screwdriver to get it off,  it's a little tricky the first time.   Make sure you only adjust a very little at a time.  Don't forget to center your controller befor you do it.

Also the helios has a sub:trim.  you use it first and then fine tune with the standard trim.

okay on the board the pot adjuster must be broke cuase it doesn't do anything, I used the sub trim to Right 50 and works fine, I will see when my two other F1's come in to decide how well it compares, but I will say for 100 bucks I got the carbon rear supsension, kysosho ball diff, alm knuckles alm toe bar, alm rims, bumper guard, and new tires. I'll say its a lot more than I expected for that.  And for the other fifty I got a nifty practice 01 car.

$100 is a great deal. I have a complaint though. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE!! LOL!!!
I hope you get some different bodies with the other ones that you can race with so we can tell the difference. I guess for now I'll just have to look for the car out in front to see which one is mine.  Wink

I finally ordered my PN mount for my F1 along with a top shock...

They have them on ebay. Or I'll sell you mine.
I took my rear damper off. I just could not get it to work right with my motor mount. I think I just want the rear srping thing like yours. For now I'm just running the Atomic shock that came with my damper plate. I dont like it that well but I need it to because just the carbon rear plates alone wont hold the car up. Eventually I will upgrade my motor mount to the PN one. That is if I decide to keep the F1. I'm really frustrated with it right now.

Believe it or not... I got one of my boxes of RCP put together last night. WooHoo!! I set up a wide oval in my front room. LOL!! Anyway I ran my F1 on it because I had fixed some things and wanted to test. Anyway it seemed to be ok turning to the right or clockwise but would spin out easily to the left. I was going to try some shims between the side plates and the chassis to correct it. I presume its caused by tweek?.

I tried to fix the stutter in the steering. I took it all apart and cleaned the pot with motor spray and cleaned all the servo gears out. It works way better but there is still a slight stutter about 10% of what it was.
