FG Formula 1 Car First Start & Custom Body Reveal

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Just my 2C from my own experience here. Make up an exhaust pipe to go on the silencer to route out via the back of the car. As currently the oils coming out of the exhaust will get on the rear tyre. I learned this the hard way and making up a routed exhaust fixed the issue and no more loss of traction.

[@316RC]

Thanks for the tip.

[@rogierkraan]

Have the same. After some time it will smudgde your car body etc. Better to reroute if you can do it. Also it looks like your expansion pot is vibrating, perhaps secure it a it better.

Awesome car brother that thing is beautiful and you brought that idle right on down to happy! God bless you my friend thanks for the shout out!

Thank you brother 👍

[@clifffoltz651]

Very nice job !😊

[@316RC]

Thanks it’s pretty cool!

[@syrup_710]

The fuel tank is oriented in that way so that you have to tilt that car up. It keeps you from spilling gas on it.

[@CR-uz4tg]

Sweet ride, I may have to rebuild something in storage

[@gboy1298]

Looks great. Little confused with all the upgrades that you left your 2 cycle exhaust pointed towards your wheel.

[@316RC]

its the recommended mounting by manufacture. luckily exhaust does not effect wheel or control

[@TexasHill]

Awesome Car Man !!! Congrats !!!😎

[@316RC]

I've been on the fence about getting one for several years. Now I'm glad I did!

[@TexasHill]

@@316RC -Yeah, I been wanting one for many years... I finally broke down and got a fully built Baja instead, but wish I had gotten a F1 FG car for the money I spend. Anyway... lol Have fun man !!! Wish I had one !! lol !

[@316RC]

Thanks so much 👍🏻 appreciate you tuning in!

[@martinscopes3914]

I can’t nock this guy it’s a lovely car the one thing I would sort out is filling the fuel tank lifting the car on its side all most is not good but the guy new that I will say nice car sir . I had the FG MARDER years ago with a power pipe I loved it I would like another one the fuel is so simple just add rock oil. Any way good racing to you sir. 💪👍

[@djbuzzard]

Looking good! I loved running mine but no tracks nearby and ended up selling, which I still regret

[@316RC]

There’s a track about 2 hours away from me. Hope to take it there

[@NeilLB7]

When you say it’s running “nice and rich” it’s actually leaned on fuel and the smoke indicates that. If you put more oil in the fuel than required…there is more oil in the mix naturally. So for each droplet of fuel mix there is less gasoline by ratio thus leaning out the fuel/air and it will run hot. You might consider modern synthetic oils that can be ran at ratios like 80:1. No smoke, clean pistons and long life. If I’m wrong for your particular two cycle engine I apologize In advance. I’ve burned up many 2 strokes in years past by over oiling.

[@soblessed6438]

Wow really beautiful!

[@316RC]

Thank you Marion!

[@AlvgeirStegane]

Awsome car!😍😍😍

[@oceanswimming590]

Time for an update! I hope you are feeling better, and you can show us a video of this car driving now!

[@jeremybr2020]

Just as a recommendation. Instead of tilting your model to get fuel in it, try getting a syringe. It would be easy to angle over the car. And you could easily attach some tubing to it as well to get a better angle.

[@316RC]

Good idea 👍🏻 thanks

[@johnslade8227]

Wow , outstanding

[@MatteoM1990]

A month ago I purchased the FG BMW E30 (the basic one with a 510 mm wheelbase)... The rear-wheel drive is something unique. In the 1/5 category I learned that the first investment to make are tires... and patience. And now I see a huge Formula One RC. I'm going to have to do some extra work to even purchase this LOL

[@98f5]

This looks fun

[@richardfox5075]

Also what are the size of the tires and the screw Hex?

[@GNX157]

Does it have a servo failsafe for the throttle? The rear tires seemed to be toed in too much. I wish there was a way to get those hoses to follow the front upper wishbone into the chassis. The way they were I was kinda like ugh.

[@316RC]

Yes, I have a throttle cut programmed in the radio plus an engine kill switch on radio loss. Can also activate kill switch from radio. I haven’t done anything with suspension adjustment yet. I’ll do that when I get it to the track.

[@khmericanzrcs]

Oh wow 😲That's nice Love it 👍🏾👊🏾🤘🏾

91 is ok for the stock engine if it’s ethanol free

[@ShadowOppsRC]

Thats one good looking, purdy f1 rc car!

[@316RC]

Thank you much. I really like how it turned out!

[@topgun3758]

You can get cheep hand pumps that last if you take care of them.

[@torstensander1120]

I am pretty sure that this is more or less the standard version of the FG F1 car. I own the same, but i have upgraded nearly every plastic part into Aluminium. The vertical chassis plates are available in cfk. I also replaced the into cfk. But nevertheless my car is not competitive with the competition f1 car from FG.

[@316RC]

Yes, this is the standard version. The competition model has that all steel gear drivetrain for more precision driving.

[@audes.4433]

This is so cool/awesome/insane. I had/was into RC (battery) when I was younger (10-12). I couldn't afford the fuel running RC. I had no idea RC world build was this insane. What does this RC world cost if someone like myself were interested in getting/building an RC at this level? TIA... Very Cool RC, I'm glad I came across this video.

[@316RC]

Thanks for your comment. You can get in the hobby with the less inexpensive 1/5 scales from places like fearlessrc.com You can get an HPI buggy clone ready to run for like $500. Cost only goes up from there when you move up to the more elite brands like Losi, Kraken, HPI and MCD especially is you start adding upgrades to your rig.

[@clivefisher2335]

How does it handle. I used to race 1/8th years ago using 21 engines

[@316RC]

You have to get the rear shocks adjusted and learn your throttle. You can easily spin out if applying too much throttle on curves.

[@funkoff5]

Looks sweet 👍🏼👍🏼

[@316RC]

Thanks 👍
