Nowhere, the rules for all F1 classes state that it must have a solid rear axle. Can't see that changing as there wasn't an extra class created when Tamiya released the F201. It also looks like you are stuck with 12mm hex drives, so your tyre and wheel options are the kit ones and the rubbers available for the HPI F10. If you want to run foams you are looking at touring car tyres or mounting your own on the kit wheels unless 3racing sell them.

No, single speed gearbox. The second gear you see on the spur gear is to transfer drive to the layshaft in the very compact gearbox.
