New Tamiya F104 Pro2 2s and 3s speed run

[@poorboysrc]

She's moving pretty good Joe. Nice looking car, too. Cheers!

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks. The blue looks better than I thought it might. I need to sharpen my driving skills for this one

[@rc-dom-uk]

just built the chassis waiting for some decent weather to paint the body 😊👍

[@JoevsRc]

Nice! Can't wait to see it

[@scaleworksRC]

Sweet F1 bro! That blue and yellow looks really nice and it seems to handle pretty good, too

[@JoevsRc]

It does handle nicely. Just need to learn some throttle control and it will get better

[@RCBirds]

Waesome run Joe. We should see more F-1s or Indies

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! A local race club started an f1 class. Hopefully I can make a race and get some videos for you

[@sparetimerc]

Great looking F104 like the color. 25mph on 2s is really good, and that 37mph it was cooking down the road. Once again another great video. Take care and hope you have a great week.

[@MechanicallyFun]

That's a great looking car. Well built👍🏼

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! 👍

[@UrbanLegendRC]

Joe that thing looks fantastic I love the f1 look and 37 mph isn’t a bad speed for the size of it

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! It is very light and small . I was a little nervous lol

[@KurtsRCs]

Cool looking car it handled good

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! I just have to feather the gas out of a corner

[@PJsElectricRCAdventures]

Nice! I had thought about getting an F1 car of some brand but never got around to it.

[@JoevsRc]

It's fun to drive. They weigh next to nothing and being 2wd i need to practice with it.

[@Blastfromthepastrc1346]

Looks good and runs very smooth 👌

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! I just need to learn some throttle control with it being 2wd

[@RCsoandso]

Looks good, you have done a great job with it, and that is an ideal Car Park for running it, I am always worried about small stones and bits and bobs with such a low ride height 👍

[@JoevsRc]

It took the road better than I thought it would. Rocks did not affect it much. Thanks for watching

[@zoridor16]

I love f1s! It is observed that the car has good grip on the ground and does not skid at 2s and at 3s it gave 37 mph!!! It's quite fast, these cars are beautiful! greetings friend  😊😊😊

[@JoevsRc]

Me to! Thanks for the compliment. Be well

[@BasBoyRC]

That's nice and so quiet over normal cars. Front wings always worry me on these cars.

[@JoevsRc]

That direct drive is quiet. I am also nervous about that wing. Good thing it's cheap.lol

[@Thatbodytech]

F1 is suppose to be about noise though 😅 but love this car

[@JoevsRc]

@@Thatbodytech lol next time I will make the fromm fromm sounds as it passes

[@Thatbodytech]

Please because I need sounds lol

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Love the colour Joe! Those F1 chassis are very cool if you have a nice smooth running ground. The 3s looked lots more fun, and a very impressive top speed! Glad to see this one keeping all 4 wheels on the ground mate! 😂 👍 👍 👍

[@JoevsRc]

Hahahah! Yes not one flip lol

[@reitplace4765]

sweet rig never seen one of them in real life.. Cool blue is cool too.

[@JoevsRc]

The car is so incredibly lightweight. It needs a little skill to drive it. Have to be smooth with everything you do

[@herbieRCpaints53]

Cool car and a nice run video mate 37 mph not bad at all 😎😎👍👍👍

[@JoevsRc]

If I can be easy with the throttle, it handled amazingly

[@jercsgn]

This looks good

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! It is so different from all my other cars

[@theoagrc]

Very cool Joe! Love this model just not something suited to the OR 😁

[@JoevsRc]

It would look mean with some large spike tires😅🤣😂

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is a really cool looking car and looks fun. I only have one F1 car and it always was a huge handful to drive! This one seems to be a lot smoother and easier to drive.

[@JoevsRc]

With some throttle control, it is fun to drive. If I mash the trigger it spins out. Like most rwd cars. And I turned the abs on and it helped the brakes a bunch

[@rccartv898]

nice video💯💯🏎️🏎️

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! Can't wait to race it

[@rcplaytime]

very nice car, great run 👍👍👍😃

[@JoevsRc]

Thanks! I should have some race runs Sunday at a track

[@acceler8n]

I like your video Joe! How do you think this chassis compares to the other F1 kits in the market such as Schumacher, Serpent and Exotek?

[@JoevsRc]

Thank for watching. This is my first f1 build. I have never seen another chassis. My local club just started a f1 class. Hopefully I can race it soon and see some others. I will post the video when I do

[@Thatbodytech]

What kind of tires were you running was it supplied with the kit?

[@JoevsRc]

They were the stock supplied tires. They will work better on hot days. It was kinda cold for the tires

[@coygtrc]

Sweet looking car. That's more or less 40 kmh (2S) / 60 kmh (3S) 👍 On which surface you're gonna run it ? 🤝

[@JoevsRc]

It will be run on blacktop. Thanks for watching! The blue came out better than expected

[@theadmirer_]

wheelspin so easy! i dont know i if like that, wanna go really fast with this one

[@JoevsRc]

It is very light. With some throttle control learning it will be great. If you want to go fast look at the Arrma limitless

[@theadmirer_]

@@JoevsRc maybe some foams or different inserts in tire might help some?

I think the stock DC motor is quicker

[@JoevsRc]

Not sure. But this was the turnmotor I had to run at the local track. .Thanks for watching

[@kanenstuff]

I hope its not all sloppy like most other Tamiya's. I like Tamiya but they need to up their game and stop making us buy hop ups just to jave a good rc car or buggy.

[@JoevsRc]

Not one ounce of slop. I think it's a nice build

[@SakuraRcJapaner]

Hi! Just found the video you were talking about here! I do not have similar motos now (soon will have 30.5T though) but thanks for sharing. Looks pretty promissing. One question though, how could we achieve an ideal 50/50 weight distribution between left and right sides? I also placed an ESC on the left side like you, and the balance is L51,4 : R 48.6, 30g heavier on the left side It may not be necessary to improve the weight distribution, but I do not feel like OK, since I did it on all other chasses within 49.5-50.5% range. Of course I can simply put an extra weight on the right side, but since my F104 Pro V2 is already around 100g heavier than my other F103 serie, I wannt to avoid gainig anymore weights. Hopefully I could hear your advice or opnions!

[@JoevsRc]

@sakura_grx this weekend I will pull it out and put it on the scales again and see where I am. Hmmm I don't remember lol
