Default F-1 car

Thought I would share this...

this is my formula one car, its 1/5 scale radio controlled. The kit is made by a company in Germany called FG. Hydraulic disc brakes, sway bars, you name it.

its nice to work on a car in my house on a table for once.


I will update it as it progresses.

I'm not into RC Cars (I'm into RC Helis) but that is one SWEET car.
Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finshed.

I am into RC cars, planes and Helis big time, my current RC car collection includes Aston Martin DB9R and Merc C class AMG DTM from Kyosho, Baja B5 SS buggy from HPI and Stadium Truck from FG, i also have 3 helis one bell 412,a Dauphin SA365N from Vario Germany and an electric Schweizwer 300C from kyosho. I know i sound like a big baby but these things are so so much fun and some are pretty impressive, i have a friend who has jet powered F-16s these things do up to 400kph "insane"

All this time I thought HPI was the company to buy from. Scratch that. FG is serious business. Disc brakes on an RC car? Unbelievable!!!!

Question on the side: Im looking for a lambo scale model to build myself, doesnt necessarily have to have an engine, it wouldnt move much anyways. At least 1:18 preferably 1:12. Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.
