Flyslot Lister Storm Double Pack

Just saw this at PowerSlots, pretty nice seeing these older cars again.

We still have many originals. Left them front motor and they run just fine.

Hmmmmm...

I don't think I ever saw a Jager Lister. Looks great.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of any of those liveries. But this is a great price for a pair of cars that certainly run with unique characteristics.

I'm glad to see the Storm making a comeback, as I always thought that these things were underrated. I really like mine, even if they are the loudest things on my track!

It's neat to see Fly doing this- making accessible an instant pairing of cars without needlessly gouging us. It would be neat to see more releases like this, perhaps resurrecting another of their old molds of an interesting yet no longer manufactured in the real world car, the Venturi.

I really like the aggressive look of the Lister Storm, I have three of them, but I would really like to build one with the motor in back of the driver. None of my three are very fast.

Some like the Lister Storm. I love the dang thing. One of my favorite looking ugly cars! What I'd love to see is one of the enterprising 3D printer guys design a chassis to accept Slot.it compatible Pods. The Storm looks wide enough that it should be able to fit a Anglewinder with a Boxer or Flat Six once you come up with a better interior. Something in Lexan maybe.

Front motor to rear puts the Storm in Lister. A very simple conversion with Great results. We used an NC2 with 10/26 slot-it gearing, slot-it f1 wheels and axle. To start strip out motor and driveshaft, next place motor of your choosing in the rear shaft holder and mark the motor length. On the bottom of the chassis the width you need to cut out is the exact distance between exhaust detail (leave detail cut right along).This needs to be cut to allow the motor to sit level. You are probably scratching your heads about now as you look at your Lister. This conversion is for a Fly Corvette C5 Z06 but is the same for a Lister except no exhaust detail to follow. Please excuse an old man.

This would be a great car for Shapeways to make a chassis and tray interior for. Like Joe I really love the body and would pick up a shapeways chassis in a New York minute.
