Started assembling and testing the PCS chassis for my HP car.
I used what I had in the parts box including a Slot It guide and axle bushings, Ninco 9t pinion gear and Reprotec Fiat Abarth rear axle and 27t crown gear.
The only long shaft end bell motor I had was a 25K green endbell one. This will do for testing while I wait for a lower powered BWA S can.
Runs pretty good but additional weight will be needed for a more secure drive.
This is the route I went and my chassis is now done with the exception of adding weights and I do need to get one of the allowable motors in it. Presently I have the motor that came with the PCS chassis but I am trying to get a BWA NC-1 from Dart. Just started painting the body. Now just need to determine how I am going to fix it to the chassis and fit my driver. Would like to know where to get some of those beautiful detail parts some of you have used. Maybe a brook;lan screen for instance
Got my screen and bonnet strap/buckle photo etch pieces from Lagartijkit, a Spanish maker of resin bodies, photo etch items and other modeling details.
Steve - Munters your man. When you get a body (or two ) consider joining us. If you can, tell us your experience with a 1:1 Sprite in the Sprite Culture section! I'm living vicariously with my Sprite models.
The Sprites have landed. Got my package from Munter today and now have to distrubute the bodies around our club's Spritelings. Thought you might like to see the lot of them. John does a great job. No more searching for Airfix kits from which to use just a few pieces.
Got the body mounted to the chassis and fixed in place the headrest fairing. While waiting for my BWA .375 wire wheel inserts, I thought I'd try turning down the Airfix kit's rim/wheel and using the hubcaps.
