Just like all other FG Competition models the FG Formula 1 Competition is one of the most successful models of the past years. An important innovation is the FG gearwheel drive which is extremely smooth-running and cares for more power reserves. Surely FG Modellsport has created a competitive model for the next years with this 09 version which will seamlessly follow up on the past successes.
Technical Description
Front and rear axle mounts as well as the engine unit are connected over the complete length of the chassis, therefore we achieved almost the stiffness of a monocoque chassis. The quick fix system of the engine makes a fast changing of the engine possible. The drive to the rear axle is carried out over several easy-running front gearwheels and an FG ball drive at the rear axle. A separate flange bearing holds the clutch bell in order to relieve the crankshaft. Front and rear axle with their various adjusting possibilities as king pin angle, castor aso. consist of alloy delta wishbones below. Solid alloy rear axle plates reduce the wear at the rear axle and give an enormous driving stability. The rear axle is equipped with the FG viscous locking differential. 4 oil-pressure shock absorbers controlled by a pushrod suspension as well as stabilizers guarantee an optimal ground contact.
Technical Description
The undercarriage of the FG Formula 1 Competition 09 is built on an 8mm alloy chassis. Chassis cutouts and the lateral carbon fiber parts cause a weight reduction. All screws at the bottom of the chassis are countersunk.
We deliver the chassis with mechanical Tuning disk brakes for front and rear axle. The bodyshell is made of clear polycarbonate, the rear spoiler of carbon fibre and the front spoiler of impact resistant polyamide. The tires are already glued.
Technical Description
The model is powered by a high-capacity 26ccm Zenoah engine with airbox and Tuning pipe.
