Been meaning to get this one up and going for a while now. finally built up a chassis for it, and dropped in an underslung slimcan motor. This is an original car that has never been painted or molested. A great start for a modernized slot runner!

I know that car well. I have made a pile of resin copies of it.

Here is one that has been run hard and has the tires almost worn off. Angle winder chassis and this is one of my favorites to drive. You can tell just looking at it that it has been run a lot with lots of road rash.

The reason for me working on all the old Strombecker bodies lately was to have cars to run with this one. The Lotus did compete in the early Can Am races.

I actually was just about to start doing a Lotus 30 using one of my resin shells. Jim Clark drove one to 3rd place at Riverside.

Yup, nice runner. What does "underslung" mean? Chassis pic please?

Outstanding Bob, nice car. Man I am behind the power curve again!

I still love the old Strombeckers, this one is still on it's original brass competition chassis

Did the conversion too with a slimline motor and brass/plastic hybrid chassis. Kept the original body with patina wear intact.



Neat car!
