I think Tamiya makes one or it might be Kyosho.

Kyosho just released some very scale Mini-Z F1 cars and if you look in the Chicago Model Show forum you'll see a beautiful Schumacher F1 car.

HPI makes a 1/10 scale pan car F1 called the Super F1. Heres a pic of mine. The only problem is it might be hard to find since its been discontinued for a few years. There are always a few up on Ebay though.

Look on the HPI site. They just re-released the Super F1 for something like $125. Cool.

Can someone post a link to the re-released HPI F1 car? The HPI mainpage will not load correctly on my work computer but all other pages on the site work fine.

The Super F1 was never rereleased. They "found" 100 of them in a warehouse about 3 months ago so they packaged them and sold them. Thats how I got mine. Those 100 or so are gone now.

Calandra sells a good on www.teamcrc.com

It is the Cross Fireforce and it's about as cool a looking F1 as you are likely to find!

hey Losi if you're really interested in electric F1, go to www.formula1-rc.com, they have an awesome site with a lot of pics, tips etc... and the guys are real helpful when you ask them anything.

The Tamiya F103RX and the Cross F1 are probably the 2 best F1 cars around in my opinion. We at www.formula1-rc.com have had quite a variety of F1 chassis running in our race from the older Tamiyas to the HPI, Kyosho, and Cross cars. I was even trying to get a Corrally F1 to run in the class but due to tire and battery mounting difficulties this became impracticle. By far the most durable is the Tamiya and it's a well handling car for what it is. The Cross is probably the coolest and has the most adjustments but as we've found it's also rather fragile. You'll notice in the pics on our site that the 1 driver running a Cross car has aluminium suspension mounts on the front end. The stock car comes with plastic ones and he broke several of those. TheNige does a great job running the site and I am the race director.
