is this worth it to buy? its based on what chasis?

[Stefan(2)]

Yep!, imho , worth the cash fully.

Just look at that box

its a C group chassis.

first one in TC (showroom anyway )

So it's the same chassis as the original stefan?

Does it come with the rs motor?

[Stefan(2)]

Hi, as far i know, yes (but i do not have a original)

Sport Tuned motor included, so as 2 ballbearings and a yellow (oil?) shock.

There is a small decal sheet included, only for the tires i surpose.

The rims do look gooooooooooooood

I am waiting if my 2e one turns up (ordered from diffrent suplyer) , if it does,

going to build one of the 2.

Also funky is the "official ferrari hologram sticker" on the box.

Stefan

[Jabba1]

I think my enzo kit had the sticker aswell.

sounds good though stefan,i think i'll be ordering one!!Like you it's whether to build to store!!

[melbsbalong]

stefan build it and add pics to the showroom, the box is a teaser, we want the thing built!

[Stefan(2)]

One is getting build, if/when the second one arives ... ehhmm... long story, hope it

does not end up in de ebay-moawn-section <cry>

back to the drawing board, got a project to finish!

Stefan

[melbsbalong]

well will get one soon as it arrives in our lhs, meantime to keep myself sane from waiting i got the tt-01 f430 and lunch box. just finished with the f430 and will do the lunch box in the coming days. both will be runners, the F40 will be built for sure but will stay in the display area side by side with my tb01 enzo.

[Stefan(2)]

melbsbalong, your wish was my command,

pictures here tomorrow from a build re-release F40,

(the other car actually got here a fiew days ago)

just finished the (chassis) build , but to dark outside to take some decent pictures.

a fiew shots before the hose went open again []

very good stefan,does the f40 not like the rain like the real one??

[melbsbalong]

stefan, wow! They look great!

about the kit, are those sponge tires? and thought it came with ball bearings already?

[Stefan(2)]

Evening!

hi, yep, those are sponge tires, the kit does come with 2 bearings for the axel,

but for the front wheels you need another 4.

Will be taking some better shots with nice weather, but looking at the news it

might take half a year or so before it clears up again

But, C groups are fun in the rain, donut until the wheels fall off out of pure mistreating

Stefan

[Jabba1]

Sounds like you were having some fun stefan,is the f40 a indoor runner or can you get some road tyres?

[Stefan(2)]

outdoor, but i did not run the F40, considering my very <kuchhh> good driving i have kept

it with the honda nsx, that car is smashed already anyway <evil grinning>

Nope, just foams, with abuse they do tend to get chunks teared out of it.. a well.. that wears down quick

enough anyway.

I'll save the f40 for a -better- day , as i'll attempt to keep this body in one piece for a change.

But, no indoor places around here... heck... not even rc cercuits anyway!

Stefan

[melbsbalong]

stefan you mean there are no rubber tire options for it?

[Jabba1]

yeah thats what i meant is there not a option/hop-up with road tyres(rubber)?

[Stefan(2)]

as far i know, no, but not exacly searched for it also,

i -think- F103's could fit, but not shur on that, not at all actually,

more a guess.

Maybe other members know more regarding this??

Stefan

[melbsbalong]

no hop up options for tires in the back of the manual? oh no, guess this will really be a shelf queen instead of a display/runner
