Troy Kendall of team Redbull is proud to present his F103RS for the 07 season. This championship contender looks very serious and will be unbelievably quick in 2WD mode if he can put the power down!

This opens up some questions for President JFM. Low nose bodies acceptable in SLCF1... you would think so by this release from Team Redbull. Plus the run time factor of a 2wd versus the F201 should be considerable. Tire wear was never an issue with the F103 being so light but will that hurt the initial start on cold tires with a longer cycle to get the tires up to operating temperature? Things to ponder as change is coming to SLCF1. I would assume that several teams will have 2wd cars competing against the known quantity of the F201's. The F103's could push reliably with a hard front/soft rear combo but how will the F201 rubber compare.

Motor choices? I would assume that apart from the 23T TZ there would be room for the Black can Mabuchi and silver can as well. A Mabuchi motor might hit the sweet spot for drivability but wont have near the top end of the TZ... that much is known. But a drivable motor is sometimes worth it's weight in gold. Things are lining up for a very interesting season indeed.
