Very cool, is that yours George?
Looks like its on foams, is that the case?
Looks like a DP body, and looks really hooked up

Awesome. Is there a racing class for the Le Mans bodied F1 cars? TCS or otherwise? I'd love to try one.

The 15Th is the best model F1.
is handy, nimble and agile in quick changes of direction :Tamiya1:
I love this car.

I have been wanting to build up an F1 car of my own for some time. While this is my first Tamiya F1 car, it is actually not the first R/C F1 that I have owned. I had a Kyosho 1/8 scale version of this car (Williams FW-14b) and my wife threw it away! Anyway, after seeing the F103 15th Anniversary chassis, I knew that I had to build something special to go on it. The Williams FW-14b is my all time favorite F1 car and I have always wanted to replace the Williams that I had. I found the body on eBay last summer. My mods include:

Tamiya F103 15th Anniversary chassis
Tamiya Williams FW-14b body set
3Racing carbon T-bar
Zen diffuser
Shimizu slicks
Tamiya 5-spoke wheels
Tamiya Sauber rear wing (also found on eBay; heavily modified--center wing removed, end plates modified to match the Williams, and wrapped in "carbon fiber" vinyl)
Mirrors (made from styrene and finish nails)
Plugs for the wing holes (more styrene)
Full race livery decals

Awsome ride dude!!!
One small detail, you need to put the yellow stripes on the rims, then it will be that much more killer, but great job and congratulations!!:yourock:

I found this puppy lying around in a pile of old RC stuff from at least a few years back. Any idea what chassis it actually is? Best I can tell I narrowed it down to an F103 but not sure which one exactly and not sure if i am wrong. any help would be appreciated.
