New Restoration project 3 (FF01)

Hi All,

It's me again.  After the Pajero and it is now the final stage of the MU, here is a new project I started last night.  It's a Tamiya FF01 chassis.  I got this used about a month ago.  When it came, it already has carbon fiber chassis, no wheels, a pink color vintage Tamiya motor, a very rare motor heat sink for FF01, some brand new parts, appears to be the front gear box and such, and a ABC Subaru Legacy Wagon cover (which is badly painted).
When I first look at it, the gear cover is the first to go.  The cooling area has been cut.  Also, some other parts has crack on them too so after I took it apart, and there are a few parts that needs definiate replacement.  
After double checking, some parts are already provided by the seller and the only thing I need to find new at this point, is the steering cup.  They are the same as the ones in CC01 (XC) ones so I hope it's not too hard to find in KWS........
Well, will keep you all posted, doesn't look like a terriablilty hard project....  

Replacement parts

Hi....Mike 兄,
where can you buy the 波箱 parts??
I want to replace the 波箱底 & front A 臂...

Parts were sold to me with the chassis... not sure where you can find them now....  it's pretty hard to get as I understand....

Oh Wao... So many people showing off ar!    That's good... Jam as much photos as you want!
I think FF01 meet will be fun....  But something MORE important is that what kind of shells are you guys running with?  I am gonna use a vintage cover (as Brother J helped me got from UK.... Thanks J!)  Will give you guy a little suprise later...
Come on!  Show your covers too!!!  

Oh... one thing you guys might be able to help me.... I just took the ball diff. apart... BUT I don't have the instruction book to put it back together... Can someone help me if they can fax me or photo copy me a manual for the ball diff.?  I believe it's the same as M01/M02/M03 ball diff.  THANKS ALL!

你地架FF01好似無咩改左渣bor

Show us what you got then???  
At this point, I think people who keep their FF01 are for collection only, not much use for racing anymore... so hop-ups are not too high demanding.......................

I know how a standard FF01 look like, because I have one FF01 too!!!
But I think you guy have not fix the problem of 推頭 ~!
唔好咁serious啦，我都係玩FF01

Mr. Siu See.....
No serious la......    Everyone here just want to play play and discuss...  
So, how's your FF01 look like?  I have disassembled mine and got all the replacement parts that's necessary and ready for clean and reassemble.  
So tell me, since I have never play FF01, how is it handle compare with FWD cars like M03??  I have been running M03 for a while and I recently put 23T motor in and it's pretty fast on straight but during cornering, the inside wheels spins like crazy!  
My FF01 really is gonna be for play only, not planning on running high performance race as I am going to put a "discontinue" cover on it as well.  No accident is allowed...!
