Don’t forget the steering servo, it’s the hardest F1 part to fit. The smaller the car the proportionally larger the servo ends up being when compared to the rest of the components, and an F1's feedhorn needs to extend out the front a bit.

This is a 1/32nd formula one body and it’s still too small for the dNaNo chassis as is. Like the 1/24 (not 1/28) Mini-Z F1 even a 1/32 scale F1 would take a whole new design.



Now if I was making an F1 I’d probably start with a Mini-Z ASF CB sure it’s 5mm longer (20mm x 30mm) but only has the one ICS connector in the middle instead of three on the end. Much easier to fit in a tight spot, especially if you remove or modify it. And similar to the Mini-Z F1 I’d probably install my battery from the bottom of the chassis for space and to avoid removing the body as much as possible, detailed F1 bodies tend to be a bit delicate.

Hmm what was I doing with that CB in the above photo? I seem to have forgotten.
