Nice looking car, but with a 200mm width, you wont be able to run it in most places.. North America seems to like the 190mm width cars, except for tamya which is 180mm.    I know japan all run 200mm... Wonder what the EU is running?

200 is foam tyres and 190 is rubber?

I am thinking about buying the  SpeedPassion SP1 on my next RC order... You can get them for $175US.    Its adjustable from 185mm to 200mm, and can run 180 with slight modifications to the arms. I have only seen F1 run acouple of times on 180mm rubber, and they were very tippy. I have read the 190mm is much more stable on rubber.

These are the rules that OGR is going with this year... they are the UF1 rules... same as Hangar 30

Formula 1:  Any 1/10th scale rear wheel drive electric chassis.  190mm maximum width.  Tamiya 540 silver can or 21.5t brushless motor.  ROAR-approved Non-Timing ESC for brushless motors.  F1 scale rubber tire.  Front and rear wings to scale and correct with body.  Maximum 6-cell NiMH or NiCd batteries or maximum 7.4v 2s lithium technology batteries.  Lithium technology batteries must be in hard case.

I'll be getting a Yokomo F1 soon to prepare for the AOC Final in Japan at the Yatabe Arena.
