View Full Version : F60
Does anyone own one of these? I really want to get one but I am torn between this and the Pro version. I really would like to hear from those who have one. How does it handle compared to the pro. Seems like everyone is just buying the body set and rubber tires for their pro. I feel both cars would handle the same with either silver can or 21.5?
Comments?

I have both kits...
To begin with, the Pro is much stiffer (CF) than the F60 (FRP). But I assume you will want to hop-up your car, so I recommend going with the Pro and just buying the rubber.
IMHO the F60 seems to be more geared toward being a shelf queen more than anything. The parts included in the kit seem to be on the low end with regard to quality, fit, and finish. So you might end up spending literally over $100 on simple hop ups from bearings, better bulkheads, hubs, shock body, etc... The Pro kit is fantastic quality all around with the exception of the plastic engine bulkhead - which you should definitely change out.
Here are a few pics of my F60:

...but be warned...this may look fantastic on the outside, but the inside is just OK. :)
I hope this helps!
These body is amazing!
At first time I see the F60 I think its a plastic model or a Mini-Z.
Tamiya "bulls eye" with these body!! :-D
