Here is a link to the TamiyaUSA's website. It has a picture of the of the T-type built up. The pictures are the best but it's something. If it was a 41XXX kit there would about a dozen more pics...bummer. It looks like there's a pic of a hop-up version as well.

RE: The Official - Tamiya F103GT - Racing Thread
Just for fun I thought I would post some pics of the original M-type from Tamiya. Since there seems to be a buzz around my area about F1 making a return I've decided to rehabilitate some old cars I had lying around. I've added a few hop-ups to the car below. It's not finished, I still have a carbon chassis to and diffuser to add.

RE: The Official - Tamiya F103GT - Racing Thread
OK, here's my F103RM. I've put a few of the new hop-ups from Tamiya on the car. I used the new carbon fiber upper deck, aluminum servon mounts, aluminum motor mount, TRF shock, the new aluminum wheel nuts for the F103. The upper deck comes with the blue aluminum body mounts, 1mm spacers that go between the upper deck and the battery bulk heads, and a blue aluminum shock post. I mounted that in the car so it could be seen, but I used the raised the shock mount. I also added the new TRF titanium turnbuckles. Plus I threw in a few blue screws and other stuff.
I hope you all enjoy it.

RE: The Official - Tamiya F103GT - Racing Thread
This is another car I recently finished up working on. I tried adding some new to the old just to see...what it would be like. I'm pretty happy with the result and can't wait to try this one at the track. It's an F102 (I know this is an F103 only forum, please forgive) with a carbon chassis, lightweith servo mounts, TRF shock, aluminum screws and nuts, up dated front king pins, and full bearings. I still have to add the diffuser, turnbuckle kit and carbon rear axle, then it's done...for now.

RE: The Official - Tamiya F103GT - Racing Thread
VERY NICE COLLECTION! I'm trying to find one of the Benetton B188 bodies. You have a very impressive grid going. I'm trying to build one of those myself. LOL
Thanks for the compliments on the Williams. I'm still working on it. I just painted the interior yesterday. I'm going to try and get that one done this week. I have a couple more things to do then I can call it done.
Thanks for taking a look and thanks for sharing your pics!

RE: The Official - Tamiya F103GT - Racing Thread
Hey there,
I just bought a F103GT with tons of modifications.
Can you advise which ESC will be good for this car?
I'm also not sure which motor to buy, on a budget.... the options:
[link=http://Yokomo Zero S-Pro 10T Motor, YM-ZSP210Motor, YM-ZSP210]Yokomo Zero S-Pro 10T Motor, YM-ZSP210[/link]
[link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310083957343&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=021]Team Orion Method R V2 10T[/link]
Other engine recommendations?
Thanks!
Lior

Hi I am new to on-road and I absolutely love the F103GT Courage. I have one question does a foam bumper come with the kit? Thanks

I bought a F103GT but Ijust moved and now Ihave no place to run it any more. Iwill accept any offers. The only thing that is missing is the friction damper adjuster nut($6)
