Modified Carrera Corvette

Thanks Rico. Initial test was pretty good. Much better than a stock Carrera anyway! I had a little body rub at the rear tires. I did some clearancing so I think it will be ok now. Made a cardstock interior tray for it this evening. I probably won't get a chance for another test run until Thursday evening..........

nice work on the vette,those slot-it chassis parts sure work good

Update on the Vette. I had to repair the chassis' rear motor pod mount. I thrashed it pretty hard the last time I raced it and the multiple hard crashes took a toll. I re-epoxied the rear mounting point.  Made a few more tweaks to the chassis while I had it apart. I think I made some improvements. We'll see........I've been trying to keep this car as close to stock in appearance as possible. But with a couple comments along the lines of; hey that's not a RACE car, I decided to update the body and details a little. I replaced the Carrera driver figure's head with one from a Ninco car that had a helmet AKA; Race Car Driver. I decided to go with a Rally Car theme (for you Monte) so I added another cockpit occupant, again using a Ninco helmeted head, with rally notes in hand (learned that little detail from Monte!). So I think I have it now as Monte has told me; rally cars are technically RACE cars, racing against the clock.

Thanks Rico.
