Getting into Vintage F1 racing

Iconic racing is kind of our thing and we love getting down the track and racing.. however there is one class that we are yet to try and that is F1 RC car racing ... so lets take a closer look.
Massive thank you to Racecraft RC for making this happen.. Clearly the place to go for all things vintage F1. www.racecraftrc.co.uk/

Nice 👍 looking forward to more Guys 👌

[@chuzzwade288]

Vintage racing; is that the car or the driver? 😜😂

[@friktionrc]

probably both...and I say that as a proud member of that club😂

[@chaosfruitbat5970]

I love racing F1, they are nice to drive and look amazing :)

[@huubbouten3041]

Excellent! F103 is such a simple car.. but with the wide track and foam tires.. it handles amazingly well.. and of course the vintage Tamiya bodies are absolutely beautiful.. seeing a bunch of them on a track is pretty epic.. can’t wait for the videos🖖

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

I have an F104X1. Might be time to find the old wing sets, a body and go racing when the lights go out.

[@oopster74]

Expensive trip based on current prices. I remember when shops couldn't get rid of Nigel Mansell's first indycar and reduced them to £50! I found, that a trick is not to brake, but to go into tarmac corners at full turn and that works by scrubbing the speed. Need a rebuild of mine for next year I think, definitely gonna get that f104 axle as I really don't like rebuilding the diff every time I change the rear tyres.

[@coygtrc]

Nice catch 👍 They run well even with a 540 silver can (I have the Tyrrell 6 wheeler as a "running" F1) 😊🤝

[@bradkalman2353]

Karl i'm glad you took my advice and get into f one racing.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Haha, bitten by the bug!! To be honest, I'd love an F1 car, being an F1 fan from when I was a wee lad, but I've got nowhere to run it locally so I can't really justify it. I can't wait for some F1 content soon!!

[@GondozaSulo]

Can't wait for the F1 content

[@verpine3534]

Hey Carl! I have an F103RS that's been a shelf dweller for forever. I even have the CF chassis still in the package and other Hop-Ups as well. I always wanted to run F1 RC, but there just aren't easy to find tracks for it here in the US.

[@GeeShocker]

Can't believe the F103 is vintage already. Feels not too long ago i was racing these, and the F103 was the new thing. 😅

[@jasonvicars226]

Still have my F103L Rahul/Hogan Indy car! Raced it in the 90's. Really want one of those Fenix vintage F1 race kits. Hopefully, you can do a review on them in the future! Love your channel!😊

[@TheAndyMaan]

Looks like quite a fun class to race to be fair. Have you guys raced the Mardave minis before? They look like quite good fun too.

Love the F1 RC 1/10, though I would love a 1/5th petrol one ❤

[@friktionrc]

Problem with 1/5 scale petrol is, whereto run them here in the UK. They need big tracks and are very noisy, so not something you can take out and have a quick run in the local carpark (if you live in a town or city). I own a 5T and its huge but also soooo loud. I can take my electric cars out any time with no problems...5T, no such joy - that said I live in the suburbs of the city, where as if you live in a more rural area I think it might help

[@VS666]

How far do you guys have to travel to see all these tracks? It would be game over for me if I had access to all the on road and turf tracks you guys feature on the channel 😅

[@danjaz2000]

F1 yessss. Please super impose your head on George Russell body when he's does his intro pose for the f1 coverage. I can hear the music now.

[@paulgeddert6125]

I have an F101, still not seen a track. Slightly wary of running it 😯

[@influentialgurning]

Some racing should be made to scale in terms of speed and acceleration. A combination of added ballast (or heavy chassis) and reduced power might best produce an accurate effect.

[@chuzzwade288]

Shame cos if there was a marshall there (there is space for a seat by the look of it) you’d have been right back in it again.

[@Pedro-tt4ub]

Ants got a few more in his garage fyi
