RC Bashers

Well I got this from my wife like last year or so and it has been sitting under the desk just waiting for a reason to be built. Then I relized it was a first release F-104 Pro and figured I would save it for a rainy day. So then come the carpet track in town and I start running the F-1 class with one of my older F-103's and am happy with it but I figured it was high time to build the F-104 Pro. I have it and it would be a crime to let it sit there doing nothing but sitting there. So here we go again,yet another rig into the fleet. Well onto the pics and build work. Enjoy.l8r,w.

Well after opening the box and spending an hour opening bags and more bags and getting started here we go.So onto the build and some pics for you fellas.Enjoy.l8r,w.

wow man. wish i could find one under my desk as well. those are really nice kits.

wow, thats cool!

Hey All; So I have been workibg away on the F-1 project and have been slacking on updating some pics for the thread. My Badd. Sorry Fellas.lol Well I got the chassis finished and some loose ends and have gotten the body painted up as well. I will be finishing the detail work this weeken and getting it ready to race for our next onroad race in 2 weeks as well as the pionts series starting at the end of the month. So here are the pics to hold you over.l8r,w.

Chassis finished up.



Body panels cut and cleaned,Ready for some paint workx.



Not my color but it is the way it came out the can.Oh well live and learn.At least F-1 bodies are cheep if I need a new one.



Side pods I decided to paint them but hold off on running them for now.May do a test and tune with and without one practice day.



Body mounted up for a mock up and finish trimming.

So I have just about finished it all up. Will be hitting the track in a few weeks since we move to offroad this upcoming week and then I have an offroad JConcepts SuperCup race next wekend in WPB. Got a ton of detail work done today since it was all cold and windy here. So here are the pics of it ready for action.l8r,w.

Tire and rim detail work.


Lil Driver dude and cockpit details done as well.








And the chassis work and body work all finished as well asbench tested and runs great. Just need to finish the radio setup and it will hit the carpet ASAP.






And the Finished Product.

The details are where the awesome is hidden. Might I suggest this shot for next months photo contest?

that is one bad ass looking f1. if you dont qualify good in it at least it will take home first prize in the looks department!! and for not being your normal blue an silver paint job it still looks sharp. another fantastic job.

Awesome man. That thing looks very nice.

really nice job man. too bad you are gonna get it all scuffed ont he track.

Had to do a few changes and snapped a few pics.

Hate to do the F-1 tire mounts but have to.






And a shot of it at the track waiting for some track time.

nice and nice. wish there was some fun on road action around here, but the damn commuting through rush hour traffic to the Track. i just cant deal with it.

always love lookin at your threads man

No joke. Always very clean, detailed rides. Id hate to drive any of your rigs man. Be afraid I'd scratch it, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you're secretly the "Box art guy".

Yea I hide it well.lol You should see them now after a few races deep into the series. I'll get you some pics. Took only 2 sessions to bust up the new mini lid.
