I am back with some questions.

It has been a while since I have been on the form do to the fact during summer I am running my nitro trucks and taking long trips on my motorcycle. Just got back form riding to Alaska and back.
Being it is so hot and humid here in Georgia I set up my RCP track today inside where it is cool. I have a couple of questions. One has Kyosho stopped production on the F1? Two other then the store here (which I plane on making a order here soon) who is selling Mini-Z parts mostly for the F1 in the states since the big T seems to be getting out of the Kyosho sales? I have emailed Kyosho of US several times and have not received a reply back about this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks

I hate ordering from HK but that is the only place I can find RTR sets any more. Got a 2004 with shipping for right at $150. When it gets here I will have 6 F1’s. I am having problems with two of them right now. One I think the FET’s is bad, as it will only go backwards which is what was wrong with my OL. I have the old FET’s off and will try getting new ones on tomorrow. The other one I think the steering servo pot is bad, as I have to readjust the trim constantly. What do others think?

f1's are a niche market. yes, they are still in production. infact the last time i discussed them with mini-z i thought they were going to come bundled with x-speeds

i and everyone that races on my track has a f1

The one I have coming comes with and X speed. I think all the 2004 do. I have not seen an F1 for sale in the states at any shop in a while and very few over seas. Even on this form there has been a roamer that the F1 was going to be fazed out. Does anyone no for sure either way?

Who all will be watching the F1 race tomorrow? I know I will!!!!! I have missed the last 2 or 3 because of riding to Alaska and back.

I'll be watching it....was really sorry to see schumi blow his quali lap today...but I guess we can blame bridgestone for that one.

I remember reading a thread here not too long ago where someone called Kyosho and they said they had fallen behind in F1 production due to higher-then-expected demand....probably find the post via search.

Ya I found the post after my post. I all so emailed an e-shop here in the US and they said they hope to have ready sets and parts shortly. I need more F1 as 6 is not enough? Hope I can get a 2004 Ferrari #2! Yes I am a Rubens fan. To bad he will be leaving Ferrari after this year.
Thanks
