Hi
I'm gonna get me a MF-015 tiki-tiki and I wonder what I absolutely need.

Besides the MF-015, EURUS, batteries, charger and tools. I wonder what else I need.
Have this list so far.

PN Mini-Z F1 Pro LCG Motor Mount - Orange (http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=19124&cat=409&page=4)
Kyosho Route 246 R246 Mini-Z Alloy Knuckle Arm Steering Block Set for F1 (0°). (http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=20747&cat=409&page=4)
Kyosho F1 Bumper (http://www.reflexracing.net/Kyosho-F1-Bumper_p_125.html)

On my F1, I added the Route 246 mount because it has a dds system.
Upgrade to a ball diff and knuckles.
I find the stock tires work great on my home RCP track and my local club. (i believe they are Kyosho 40 in the front and Kyosho 20 in the rear). See if you can find a Mantisworx bumper. (They last, I broke the stock nose even with other brand front bumpers)

King Pins are very important.. stock ones are so grainy. it actually runs pretty well out of the box

I have it. I think its great. I upgrade all my disk plates to the Atomic Teflon. So smooth.

I think 1deg camber is ok but what are you guys driving and what is working?
Do you use any toe-in / toe-out?

briankstan
2012.11.20, 07:04 AM
I wouldn't bother with the 20 fronts, Most everyone I have every races with has used either 30's or 40's for the front. they 20's on the rear are what you want.

Either will work for the motor mount, but the PN one is my preference.

Get the 1 degree knuckles for even wear on you front tires, I've been running 1 degree knuckles for every and have never needed a change and the tires run flat.

NoBrainer
2012.11.20, 07:17 AM
Thanks.

I won't get the 20's at first then and not 0deg camber.
But are you running any toe-in or toe-out or just 0 deg?

NoBrainer
2012.11.21, 02:17 AM
I got uncertain about the R246 motorpod. Due to the adjustment of the motor.
PN got a much better way to do it since I want the 64p spur/pinion.
But PN don't have a black motor pod...

It does wear off, but it's a pretty big Sharpie and I just touch it up once in a while.

Is it possible to use the "old" wing with the MF-015 and MF-015 body?
So that the wing is connected to the chassi and not the body.
I was thinking about remodeling the new white body.

Guys,

what rear spring/ damper do you guys suggest? I have the pn rear mount, but no shock or disc damper. My lap times are ok now.. I have the old atomic mount and damper.. But i dont want to take them off my other f1. Looking for somthing better. Any ideas?

NoBrainer
2013.04.15, 11:44 AM
yes!
Got me a cheap MF-015 chassi this weekend.
Now I just need body and parts...

NoBrainer
2013.04.19, 03:54 AM
Do the "old" MF-010 body's fit MF-015??

Yes....I put a Jordan F1 body on a MF-015 for a friend with no issues.

2013.04.19, 09:43 AM
Short answer... yes.

Addendum, don't expect to use the newer style clear bumpers from Kyosho for the older front wings and vice-versa.

NoBrainer
2013.04.19, 10:02 AM
Thanks

but then I need to figure out the bumpers for each type of body.
Thanks guys.

imxlr8ed
2013.04.19, 11:56 AM
Only the newer style bodies have the wider front wings, and the all take the same bumpers. Old style bodies are all compatible to the old style bumpers. Other than that, everything else is compatible.

Of course, you could just order a clearly labeled aftermarket bumper from somewhere. ;)

NoBrainer
2013.04.19, 01:56 PM
Ah no problem.
I got the new style bumper.

I'm going to order UID old style bumper I think and use it with a McLaren body.
Ordering all other parts now, so it's exciting times....

My DPS don't fit over the RA-24T electronics due to ICS connector.

Drilled a bigger hole in the DPS and fasten it under.

Fixed the distance between motor pod and DPS with shims and a longer screw

Nice build NoBrainer!

I had assembled all the stock parts to build 2 MF-015s (I always like having a backup), but decided not to and sold the two boards. I may attempt to build just one for an upcomming event, but am not clear on compatibility of older bodies designed for the MF-010 chassis with the new MF-015 chassis.

Yes....I put a Jordan F1 body on a MF-015 for a friend with no issues.

Short answer... yes.

My questions are:

I thought the newer bodies had side tabs that held them in place by locking into holes on the sides of the new chassis. Do the older bodies stay on the newer chassis, or are they more likely to pop off in a collision?

Are any modifications to the older bodies or newer chassis necessary for them to fit well together?

Any other MF-010 body/MF-015 chassis fitment considerations???

Thanks for your responses! :)

The only thing I found so fra is that you can't use the front bumper.
So if you got an old body, you need the old style bumper.
If you got new body you new new style bumper.

Maybe there are many more differencies, but have not run into any problems so far. Except front bumper. (Not the wing)

It drifted out in left turns, until I found a loose screw.
Now it works much better.

I still miss rear springs to adjust it a little better and I also need to see how it runs compared to others on a larger track. Just tested on 90cm rcp witch was very bumpy.

But I really loved it.

Do you guys use tire tape on your F1's?

I use the PN rules with 50T motor.
I got both Kyosho carbon and that trp? sideplates.
I have soldered new wires for the car.

I see that the Canadians are using quite stiff rear and front, with 1 deg camber knuckles.
Since I'm using the "original" DPS, should I then have it stiff like they have?

Missing some acceleration out of corners.
Using PN 64-p diff.

No problems with reverse with the MF-015.

Got UID front protection coming over seas. Looking forward to see how it works.
Only pitty is that it's only me that drive F1 in Norway right now.
