Hey All; As you all know I have a small collection of R/C vehicles. I have been into R/C's for awhile now and try to keep all vehicles that come my way. I started in 1/10 buggy back in the day.( early to mid 80's) than got out for a cuase of life for a while.Upon return I went on-road at first. In my quest for on-road I amassed some really nice Tamiya Formula 1 rides.These kits are now long gone and hard to find.So here are a couple pix of a couple of rides in my collection.I thought you guys would like to see them and also would appreciate them as well.Thanks for looking.l8r,w.

Here is one of my Tamiya F-103's. It is the West McClearen Mercedes MP 4/13 kit. I have added the real decals and some chrome rims.All the tamiya Hop-ups avialible at the time are installed on this chassis.

And here is one of my Tamiya F-201's. These replaced the F-103's and are 4WD not 2WD. These rigs are very cool to build and tune and handle like the real things.I have one all decked out in Tamiya TCS approved Hop-Ups and raced it.Here are some pix of my Ferrari F-2000 in full Marlboro Livery. I added way to much to list.From home made exuasts to barge boards to wingletts to defusers. I went all out on this chassis and C/F and Billet Alloyed all over this puppy. Hope you like my work even though it wasn't recently completed.Enjoy.l8r,w.

I swear I've commented on these somewhere before, haha. That body off shot is just sexy.

Hey All; Sorry to have neglected these older threads. Here are few more pics from the F-1 garage. Here are another set of F-103 and F-201 chassis's. The Shumy Bitburger got me in RCDriver a while sgo now. It was my first. I am thinking of doing another F-1 build here again soon. There are a few of the newer paint liveries are calling me to paint them. Well here are the pics of the Petronas / Red Bull F-201 TCS Cup Racer. And an Bitburger Benetton B-195 F-103RX kitted.Enjoy the eyecandy.l8r,w.
