F201 body on F103 chassis

[kontemax 1794]

Is it possible?

Can I mount the F201 bodies of old 2WD (like real Formulas) F103 chassis?

Many thanks

Massimo

I think the wheelbase of the f201 is longer then the standard f103, But i'm not sure

Hi, Massimo

F201 and F103 are completely different. If you try to mount f.e. the Ferrari F2001 to an F103 chassis, you have to:

- drill new holes for the rear body posts (no problem)

- drill new hole for antenna (no problem)

- forget about the F2001 rear wing, use an F103 style rear wing from McLaren oder Ferrari 412T1 or Sauber C12, Ferrari/Williams/Tyrrell023/Mugen JS41 wont fit above the higher F2001 body.

- Do some extra lexan work at rear and front suspension

- make nose fit the F103 style front wing (high nose type), because F2001 style front wing doesn't fit.

There won't be much left of your F2001/Williams BMW or Sauber body kit after all this. A waste of time and money imho.
