- Team Associated Factory Team F6 Formula 1 Build -

I love all kinds of motorsports, but Formula 1 is probably my favorite. The cars are wicked fast, look amazingly sleek and can corner faster than anything else out there.

I guess that's why I really love the 1:10 scale F1s as well. So, of course, there's no surprise that I had a grin on my face from ear to ear when I heard Team Associated was seriously thinking about jumping into the F1 arena. Then there was the rumors of an actual car spotted at the track. Finally, a press release filled with lots of pictures.

So here we are, mere months after the sneak peek photos swept the internet, I have a production F6 sitting on my bench awaiting a build. But before we get started, let me list the additional parts I'll be including in the build:
