Topic: Porsche 930 Turbo Kit/Scratch Bash
Saving this one for posterity as a first attempt and scratch building. I'd bring it to a club meet, but I'm afraid of the tail dragging and pulling up all the copper tape. The car does some nice lap times on our home scally track.
It started with a couple of rubbish womps that 'needed oiling' from the Bay and a Badwill model find.
The womp chassis was cut at the body mounts and resoldered on. The front wheel and guide tabs were flattened in a vise, narrowed, and redrilled. The rear wheels were cut down in width along with the tires.
The motor is a 15,000 rpm Scaleauto under $10
The rear tires are Paul Gage.
Things I learned;
The holes in a Womp chassis are far from straight, true, and perpendicular to each other.
Womp wheels come in various sizes, but electrical tape makes for a great shim material.
Flexible silicone wire is much better.
The scally arc system only accepts black guides to register lap times.
A crash and bash Scalextric Boxter has the same wheel base, length and width - so there is another retrofit in the future here to try and get something going... Gonna try and fit that 930 to a boxter chassis.
