Porsche 911 for the scratchbuilt proxy
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 1:59 pmwhat i wanted to send, with a homebuild sidewinder chassis until the "no open wheels" rule popped up ;)
But instead, i removed the paint from a SCX compact UPS Porsche and made a repaint ...
details:
styrene chassis, 1.5mm thickness, mabuchi SH030A motor, Ranch-Design wheels, K&D tires, 25 tooth RD crown, 12 tooth pinion, printed 1/43rd guide.
printed inserts to fit the RD wheels
spray base coat tamiya, brush paint metallic blue tamya, flat black water base revell color for details, revell enamel silver for details. revell water base clear coat.
in the end i had to add 0.5mm styrene pieces to lift the body to get the required 1mm ground clearance, maybe i will remove them after the proxy to get it really low.
It handles the desmo quite well, after some practice laps i got it under the 10 seconds margin, so it should be good to go :D
