Took a pic of my 2 F103GTs side by side!
(yes, there's a chassis under the Courage shell!
)

RE: The Making of a Shelf Queen - Lunchboxer's F103GT Courage
ORIGINAL: westphill24
Had a close call today. I was finally running my car and after doing a few speed runs down my street I started to see what everyones been talking about with controlling these things. After sliding whenever I put the brake on I was keeping a close eye on the car. But not the road[X(]. It went right under a ladies car
, but as soon as she backed up TADAH no harm since the f103 sits so low. It also helped that she was driving a new charger and the must sit a little higher. I did have a couple small scratches on the posts behind the drivers head but nothing really noticeable. Lesson of the day, NO RC's IN THE STREET.

hello...new owner of that Courage, from some time now...running 3s lipo on the silvercan......but now I just notice that no more F103 in any stock, since the 15'th aniversary kit are out... and I was thinking to change the rear tire for better grip, thinking of one of those?...don't know if it will clear the archwheels:

I think those foam tire / wheel uses a different adaptor compare to the F103GT, though.. (the GT uses 12mm hex, to run standard touring car wheel..)
I will be getting a few F103R myself, so I am looking forward to it!!

Yes.. the F-1 style wheels are different than your typical touring car wheel..
I have both before.. (I had a Jaguar XJR, it is the same chassis as that C11 you posted) It uses a different way to mount the wheel...

till we finish the documentation on this, I will probably use a set of foam tires on the back of my Courage...but have to wait till the spring will show-up, still snowing outside...clod time
