Building BEST Tamiya F1 cars

Iconic racing is kind of our thing and we love getting down the track and racing.. however there is one class that we are yet to try and that is F1 RC car racing. Next season Carl is going to get involved but before he can do that he is going to get some practice in with the TAMIYA F104 pro2.
Here is the build of the first of many F1 cars to the channel.

The red and white reminds me of Maclaren's classic Melbourne livery.

The cars of my youth

[@fiercefightingrobotsffr9146]

We have entered an F103 with LMP body in the 12 hours endurance races in Gouda, NL. Had some problems this year but won it in 2023.
Simple car but great speed while the LMP body improves handling.

[@friktionrc]

Yes!!! Love it mate….I’m getting my one ready and having a bit of a play about using an Iconic spec brushed motor…first time out, the driveshaft snapped sending me into the barrier on the high speed corner at WLRC at the end of the straight 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂. Can’t wait to se you on track with this …it’s going to be brilliant fun…maybe get a second shell and mount a camera to it 🤔🤔😉

[@mikepembo8297]

I had the F201 (sold it last year as I never used it) but really want the 6 wheeler. Just looks so fun :)

[@oopster74]

First thing that came to mind when I saw that shell was Dez Chand, he liked to put Coca-Cola decals on his shell.

Coolio

[@SellTheProphet66]

Thank you for doing some f1 videos! More please!!

[@PopalongRC]

Been on the to do list for a while

[@daysofnick]

Yeh the servo lugs scared everyone but servos were built for planes first. I like your design

[@simonbodill]

Yay I’m so glad you have done this I have bought a vintage F101 chassis I’m restoring it so it can be run apparently people race them 😊

[@RC.89]

Been looking to get into F1 but was worried about never having anyone to race with. Luckily it sounds like a couple of others in Blackpool would consider running it so it could be game on!

[@PopalongRC]

Good to know

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I love the Tamiya F1 cars, they look awesome. I'd be tempted to get one but I have nowhere to run it locally, and I've also just spent way too much on my Clod Buster chassis upgrade😜😂

[@ch3no2uk99]

Please build the tyrrell as box art... They are stunning.

[@bradkalman2353]

Glad you did that first.

[@PopalongRC]

Six wheeler next

[@paulbowman9217]

Good work Carl, I like it

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@m0b00st]

Hey hey, keep up the good work guys!

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@coygtrc]

Nice build 🤩 A little precision (swiss inside 🇨🇭), the spur is 04 metric which is "very" similar to 64 dp. The difference is tiny, but as always, there's a huge debate on whether it's 100% compatible 🥴🤝

[@PopalongRC]

Good to know

[@rickzfpv3118]

Carl I got a question i am getting ready to do a speed run challenge next month and the chassis that the contest director picked is the Tamiya MF01X chassis and i know you fo a ton with the m chassis does anyone out there make a set of foam tires that will fit the car as they are 60mm instead of 65mm. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide
Rick

[@PopalongRC]

Yeah the MTC tyres are what I run on my mini so …
You could run the foams they used at MTC national

[@PopalongRC]

Out the packet 51mm

I think I found my next Tamiya build for the end of next summer also how would we get a pop along shirt like yours I’d like to be able to re present for you guys over here in the states?

[@PopalongRC]

We have looked into producing shirts but not available at the moment

[@joneaton3366]

Great vid.
It looks great.
What foams should I order please

[@PopalongRC]

I’ve ordered some contact once but I don’t think they are right now I have received them so I will update soon

[@Jaxon_durbidge]

Zen racing

I believe it's mod0.6, not 0.6dp

[@PopalongRC]

I believe you are right

[@rangerdude25]

What is a sharpy?

[@friktionrc]

It’s a brand of marker pen.

[@bradkalman2353]

What do you think about the newest radio from spectrum?

[@PopalongRC]

Looks good

[@bradkalman2353]
