Thunder Slot McLaren M6A White Kit
Here is a look at the components of the newly released kit. As I gradually build the model I’ll add pictures and observations either via edit or new lines to this thread.
First, a look at scale:
Actual McLaren M6A:
Length 3886 mm. Width 1727 mm. Height 787 mm. Wheelbase 2324 mm. Track 1321 mm
1/32 scale
Length 121.4 mm. Width 54 mm. Height. 24.6 mm. Wheelbase 72.6 mm. Track. 41.3 mm
Thunder Slot M6A
Length. 125 mm. Width. 63.3 mm. Height (not yet). Wheelbase. 75.5 mm. Track. 49.75 mm
Just a few quick observations: bushings are single flange; gearing is 11:32 (2.91:1); chassis without the motor pod connected is very flexible; a wing is included in the kit, perhaps for a future McLeagle; and the motor is Thunder Slot’s Mach 21 05, 21,500 rpm @ 12 V, 175 g*cm torque.
