Those "t" tops were a biatch... but I think it turned out cool.

Thanks guys!
I'm pretty happy the way it turned out.

We did the old measuring tape and stop watch trick and came up with 91mph.
This was out at the old dell air strip, so the car had some good time to get up to speed. I chewed through a complete set of tires that day.[80?]

Thanks bro... About 8 hours went into that lotus body. Sadly, I'll most likely smash it into a wall. lol Then it's onto painting something else!

The "T" tops were not in the original design, nor how the engine compartment worked. Those "mods" were a practice run for a Porsche Carrera GT I plan to do next. The paint on the Porsche is going to look black, but when the light hits it it will have red metallic flake throughout. My "practice run" was the lotus for the body mods, and I've done "ghost" flake on other cars. I think I have a good feel for it now, so when the time is right... Porsche Carrera GT time baby!

BTW... If anyone cares, so far, my fastest clocked body is a BMW M3 GT @ 91mph. [bmwdance]

Nice, what kind of car is that? Is that an HPI?

 

[mclarensmps]

Awesome stuff there man, 91 MPH est. is quite wicked indeed!!! I can see that you def dont have a stock engine in there, but the heatsink looks very HPI, is that what it is? I just have a newbie Tamiya TG10 and that thing runs about 40ish KMH (although i did blow one engine unit running it super lean and it did about 65 on that setting, sounded like an F1 car i swear).

Great job on the paintwork and the cuts, i am muchos impressed!! Only question i have is, how the hell do you control a car that goes so rapidly???!! Its madness! No wonder you ate up a tyre set so quick LOL. Awesome stuff man.
