@@jornmulder just have to trawl the web dude, eBay and marketplace my 3 came from. They seem to come in waves, don’t see any around for months and then 3 pop up together. There is 1 on eBay right now but it’s strong money

The perfect pass web site, he has a launch module that let's you controll how the car spools up. It's perfect for that car. He also has one on his F1 car, the same exact car. With the modual there so mutch more control.
I'm no F1 fan, but I own more than one RC F1 car. I always found myself driving them in supermarket car parks, contendingcwith gravel patches and bumps. My overriding memory is how quickly they let go when you pass the limit, and how hard it was to regain control once the backvend whipped round.
with slicks, and that surface, its like driving on marbles mate. You really need a super smooth surface to hook it up. Or different tyres like wet weather tyres
Change the sock oil all round and the diff oil. Someone already said tire warmers they’re a must for outdoors. Find a nice surface HRA is your best bet. Hot rolled asphalt. 6mm-8mm SMA will provide you no grip what so ever. Get some tire additives for asphalt. Coat the tires and put some cling film over. Then put the tire warmers on at 60 for 5 mins. You can do it without the tire warmers, but you’ll 100% need tire additive. MR33 v3 asphalt is a really good choice.
6:55 look at the rear tire, something's way off, the camber has only part of the tire contacting the pavement. Can you shim the A arms to bring it back vertical? or maybe the hubs have adjusters?
I have the Kyosho Formula Sports F-Ten GP 4WD which was a copy of the prototype 4WD Renult F1 car. They are extremely rare selling for $1500 to $2100 nowadays. I would never sell mine as I race it in the nitro 4WD open-wheel class. So much fun.
I saw the real car go through the Lincoln tunnel driven by David Coulthard. The noises that poured out of the tunnel as it came towards us was insane. I may need one of these to commemorate that day.
Close to maybe 25 years ago, I got myself a cool Kyosho F-1 car that was 4 wheel drive! Sure wish I'd kept that one. I hate to say I don't even remember hat happened to it at this point. Wasn't as big (Only 1/10th scale) as this one, or as scale detailed, also didn't have that on board starter! Did you say that was an add on? Pretty cool considering that type of tech really only, to my knowledge, here in the states became available maybe 10-12 years ago on some Losi cars. They called it "R.O.S.S." (remote on board starting system) I LOVED IT! Didn't last long as I assume people were burning them up left and right. Also, using the same low capacity battery for that and the radios tasks really stressed out the battery. If you had a hard time starting the truck, well, there goes your play time! Anyway, that's a pretty sweet ride! Too bad it handles like crap! Hope you can sort that out. UGH...Kevin has one eh? Is he going to try to break the worlds record for RC F-1 car jumps? Why do I fear for that cars safety?? lol Waiting for his "F-1 at the skatepark...will it survive?" video. ;)
Carnage springs to my mind if there are several of you taking them out at once 😵💫, love the cylinder head how it’s machined to suit the bodywork and the electric start . 😃
Maybe try going up a couple teeth on the clutch bell to reduce the torque a little??? And sum foam drag tires probly wouldn't hurt. Looks and sounds awesome tho!
I would love to see a little more about that electric starter for nitro on this car. I've got two of these cars and one of my biggest grievances is the pullstart, so one is still brand new and the other I've driven only once.
If the aero is meant to function realistically, and the car is spinning out when you get on the throttle, youre gonna need to keep at speed for grip and to brake into the turns. set some expo if you need it so its not jumping as fast into the throttle and just nailing it unless youre flat out. If you could set a little more slip in the clutch thatd do it too, but im not sure how adjustable that particular setup is. Nitro are a different beast, especially the bigger, more scale ones. You might want to look into some softer tires if youre gonna run on such a bumpy surface too, cuz youre only getting about half the grip the tire has to give. If you could run on like...a prepared surface, or a gokart track thatd be near perfect. Theyre real smooth. Good luck man, nice to see a nitro car still on the road after all this time...
Phil does a great job with those click starts. As soon as I heard you say it i thought i know where thats come from. He has a few F1's. That runs nicely but everyone around here moans about the noise so I got rid of my nitro car many years ago. I will stick with the old tamiya and crawlers on electric.
I have one for sale, brand new, never started and complete with most of the magazines. Comes with two extra tyres, some extra spare parts, extra fast pronoun gear, transmitter, second body and extra rear and front spoiler.
I bought those when they came out , in fact I bought two of them and kept them in boxes all these years. Myself and my one daughter started putting both together this past December. Just about ready to start the paint jobs.
Hi Phil, love the sound of the engine on the redbull. And it's louder than the F1 cars now. 2024 got to be Max. Fun fact that I used to work for the motorsport company Prodrive working on WRC scobbies. And we did the odd bit of 2011 redbull F1 car. Actually got to meet Mark and Sebastian. When they came round for a tour of the factory In Milton Keynes. Anyway great lads and Mark Webber is a funny guy. Great video as usual. 😊
Well, only this time it isn't Hamilton. But I gotta say, Verstappen 's season was impressive. Cool to have been able to witness that, especially as a Dutchie!
Absolutely love that , ive always fancied a formula one Nitro car, ive always liked the four wheel steer Tyrells, could you perhaps use a couple of engine heaters to heat up the rear tyres to get them sticky? they probably only need two or three minutes to heat up. The starting mechanism is brilliant, what a pity they dont apply it to RTR nitro cars more often, it might help to bolster the hobby a bit more for those that give up because they havent got the patience to pull on a pullstart.
I saw one of these on the local buy and sell for pretty cheap. The only difference is it’s black not blue. They are asking 100 dollars. Maybe I should pick it up.
Thank you so m much for not smashing up that beautiful thing! I’ve seen some pure thuggery carried out on a similar RC recently and was super disgusted that the act was not only carried out but recorded and shown on UA-cam. The thug in question even had an accomplice stand by with his mouth open shocked by what a stupid act his mate was carrying out…. Cheers Phil
Those are awesome kits, planning on getting one myself soon. as maintainers you know actual engines always hit a sweet spot! Take a look at the rear end, looks to be vibrating too much. that could possibly cause your problem with traction. Trueing the tires as well. shit you know what to do brother.
I'm not a nitro guy but that looks fun! I think that might be the smoothest lot you've been on in a while, can't wait for the next installment. Thanks for sharing.
I have one for sale, brand new, never started and complete with most of the magazines. Comes with two extra tyres, some extra spare parts, extra fast pinion gear, transmitter, second unpainted body and extra rear and front spoiler.
Amazing looking car indeed, Phil! 😃 Too bad it's not electric... I've seen enough rc boat nitro motors being disassembled for cleaning... 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very nice Phil. Would the tyres perform better on a floor like in your unit? Or a smooth polished concrete? I would like to see Lando Norris on the podium this year.
I have got one of them f1 car . Never got round to finishing the Build on it , just sits in the Shed . If you want to buy it for Space after seeing your driving lol
@alteredstate7746 Ive got one im selling. Built it and never run it! Jsut sits as a model at the moment. Its on the bay of the E kind if youre interested
I wouldn't have been angry if you put different wheels on it so you could have done a few speed runs and had a little more fun with it. I've never had wheels exactly like that. Do they get a lot grippier when it gets warmer or are they just crappy tires?
It's a beautiful car and the easy start system is fantastic. I am anxious to see how you get it to hook up in batter weather. I am a Hamilton and Russell fan.
First minute: _"I must have one"_ Phil said it was nitro: _"Sorry Sebastian, you're on your own"_ That model is amazing, I wish I had a place to put it, without making my condo smell like castor oil.
in the winter I start my Nitro cars in the kitchen with the back door open, it saves warming up the engine with a heater besides Nitro doesnt smell as bad as it used to not 25% anyway.
Honestly if you are just going to run it and display it,a good thorough cleaning each time would suffice. It's not as bad as it used to be. I have a Tmaxx 3.3 I used to keep in a corner behind my recliner. I never had a smell. Maintain it and you should have zero problems with a smell
Ive got 2 of these one shelf queen and one that i use. Your going to overheat iif you dont open up the vents in the lexan body. Steering and suspension absolutely terrible, i fitted mine with a faster servo and did everything i could to remove the slop and its better than stock. Also get the upgrade kit for it and run the 2 speed gearbox and the soft tyres, like the real thing the tyres don’t last long but they’re worth it. Also stiffen the shocks up. 2 more essential upgrades are the rear differential as the stock gears are made with butter and will strip. And get some metal driveshafts as the plastic ones twist and snap 🤣 good fun when you set them up right. Good luck with it!
Come on Nando.😂 From what I can see looking online and read ups on those cars the tires are almost impossible to keep heat in..looks like most people switch to foams.. great stuff as always Phil..come on Norris

Wow, what machine! It will definitely do well on a proper track, looking forward to it!

Look forward to the race later in the year...
Great vid and what a machine...would be mega to see you race one of those with others :)

More Nitro please!
Great video, love to see some "classic" RC getting some love again 🤗👌💯🎥. Have a good one and keep up the great work 🤗🙏🙏🤜🤛

“It wasn’t stalling in the workshop”
Race cars 101 😂😂
If they released a nitro with a starter that good and a muffler, I would deffo buy one,
I remember drooling over this when it was out... I don't know why I imagined it came with 2 sets of tyres or wheels with one being more usable...
Yes Phil
what camera did you use to put on the car
Beautiful F1. The POV shots were incredible looking. Take care of this beauty and don't destroy it like Kevin normally does. ha ha 👍
Still waiting for that new rlaarlo video... 😅 mine is coming any day now
which camera did you use putting on to the car?
That's an amazing model wow!
It behaves like a real f1 car spinning out. Very cool!

I'd say after you change the steering servo maybe some foams those rubbers are never going to gripp
I still have some parts of it laying around. Never got to finish it cuz i gave up Nitros.
That was cool!😎
