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

Fully hopped front end w parts fr GPM & 3 racing GPM rear motor mount & 3racing hub Diffuser is from my old F103 Notice the transponder holder? Its from a TA05 Simple car, easy to tune and run GPM motor mount have deeper fins than 3 racing's 1

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?

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

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.
