1/64 RC F1 car advice

[Razor007]

Hey guys I’m looking for advice on building a 1/64 RC F1 car, the model is a Ferrari F2003GA from Kyosho. The plan is to hollow it out, and somehow package a 1.8g servo (S18JST), 30mah battery, rx45 receiver, and 3 or 4mm motor. Using some paper I made some rough boxes of those components and placed them next to the car. It’s… going to be a very tight fit. If anyone can give some advice on smaller servos, or other methods to make it more compact that would be great

Welcome to RCT!

I'm not really a micro guy so I'm not sure I have any meaningful advice but it will be interesting to see the process.

Welcome to the forum. There is a guy on YT that does some sick 1/64 builds. You might do some searching around there.

I've seen these videos but don't remember his channel.

That is one heck of a challenge you've set for yourself. Way out of my league. Hope you get it figured out.

Welcome to the forum.

Youtube is probably going to be your best resource. There is a local guy here that has done a few Nissans and other street cars but there is a lot more real estate in those chassis.

Good luck, looks awesome and I hope to see more.

Thanks for the vid! There’s also this forum where some guys have made a 1/87 Benetton F1 and 1/87 Ferrari F310/B F1 car, unfortunately I couldn’t find their images but the parts they reference can help. (http://www.mikromodellbau-forum.de/t5903f678-Ferrari-B.html)
