F1 vs. 1/10 touring

[kwong2001]

How do they compare...I've always wondered...I know real f1 cars own but what about r/c?

 

[Nitroaddict]

at this time, i do not think that there are any nitro F1 cars, are there?

 

[kwong2001]

I don't know if they still sell them, but they have been made...I was gonna get one

 

[Nitroaddict]

then i have no idea - i think it would still be less manuverable than a TC, and the only reason i say this, is that due to the scale variences in RC, it seems that what is applicable to 1/1 scale is almost always opposite of what applies to 1/10 scale in regards to handling and downforce.

remember - in scale comparison this is what an NTC would look like :

250 pounds, 550 mph, 12hp, and about 400,000rpm

those numbers are quite skewed as compared to a full size race car

Ya they are QUITE skewed..I've only seen electric F1 r/cs.I've never seen a Nitro one..

I think tamiya briefly made one...just like the hpi nitro mini's<<<was gonna get one also, they looked so awesome

 

[Nitroaddict]

hpi makes a nitro micro now????

 

[TINY_MAXX]

They used to..They don't make them anymore...You might be able to find one in a hobby shop if your lucky enough...

I believe Kyosho made the 1/10 scale nitro F1 car and i think thy still make it.

 

[kwong2001]

i'll bet the f1 cars have killer top end...they probably don't compare as far as track racing but they're probably pretty good drag cars....

Kyosho and Ofna did make a nitro F1, however it wasn't able to become overly popular because not everyone love F1's at the time it was released. I liked the Kyosho F1, it is 4wd, adjustable suspension, and near to scale details, but they are now discontinue and I would love to have one of those. I will post pics of my friend Kyosho F-ten once I get my computer running again.

What's the minimum weight for nitro f1 in ROAR rules? Looking at that chassis it looks like it might be a little bit lighter than 1/10 touring

I dunno, if i'm gonna run an f1 car, it better be RWD, 4wd is for 1/10 touring...I like the effect
