Fully Hopped Tamiya F103GT
I have been a fan of Tamiya F103 ever since they release their F1 cars back in the 90s. When Tamiya chose to re-release their F103 in a form of a GT car, I was delighted.
The car somehow proved easier to drive than my old F103 F1, less spin out. Could it be the touring car tires?
Anyhow, I couldn't resist not hopping up my favourite chassis and ended up mounting almost every hopped up available and luckily the list is rather short:
Tamiya carbon graphite chassis
Tamiya F103 carbon top deck
Tamiya teflon damper disc
Tamiya trf oil shock
Tamiya carbon damper disc plate
Tamiya T-bar
Tamiya TA05 transponder holder
GPM suspension ball mount
GPM alloy front arm
GPM alloy rear motor mount
3 racing adjustable castor
3 racing alloy diff hub
3 racing L & R 2mm offset wheel mount
3 racing rear body mount
3 racing carbon bumper plate
3 racing alloy servo mount

beautiful, I love this kind of chassis (as my F103 Sauber) Can you tell me where did you found your alloy front arms please?

Thanks Bro, the front arms was bought when I was at HongKong Holidaying. If you are interested, I can let go a pair to you for US$15.00 shipped. I only have 2 set in blue. Actually the arms dun serve any performance enhancement, just merely for cosmetic only. Did not feel any difference in driving handling or performance. Maybe its me?
WOW, man this is a nice chassis
i love the F103GT, it's a shame there is no quick-release batteru holder for it,
that is the only problem i have found with it, when i was racing mine

Superb Looking machine, can you let me know where you found that rear diffuser/spliter as Im sure it will look ace under a touring car shell. Cheers Ryck

Thanks Ryck, that rear diffuser is from Tamiya F103 Hop Up Option. Its no longer in production. However there are many option to be found in ebay. At the moment there are two maker: TRG and ABC Hobby that makes rear diffuser for the F103. Search for them.
