New Kits Mentioned Here

Hi,

A few new kits here

F104xi
3 Racing F1 Sakura
A bit more on the TA06 - dont think any of it is new information though.

The F1 Sakura with the independent rear suspension looks interesting though. It also mentions two speed gear box ?

That F1 Sakura looks like the business for sure, I am going to have to acquire one simply to do a comparison.

Looks to me like the suspension (rear anyway) is modeled on the Tamiya F201, and that is a pleasure to drive. Admittedly it is 4WD but is is so much fin to drive an F1 that handles like a touring car.

Looks very good does that.

Duane, I am now a resident of the ranches, we should get back to our racing roots in Dubai...

After watching the video of TA-06 pro Video

I found it really tempting

Off topic but on the subject of F1, I recently became aware of the Serpent F180.
Wow, what a brilliant piece of engineering.

I've never really been interested in buying a nitro car, but this one appeals to me in many ways. I especially like the front disc brakes, and overall a very realistic scale F1 car.

Check it out. Serpent F180

Very nice, but at 1/8th will be a bit of a speed merchant nightmare. It is discontinued as well....booo

like the engineering thought that has gone into it...
