Lotus 56B Turbine
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 3:21 pm
Got this Lotus 56B Turbine body from Retro Racer's slot car estate. The side pods remind me of the current Mercedes F1 cars almost 50 years later.
I think it's a Munter cast.
Gave it my adjust-o-wheelbase chassis treatment with the Devised Designs super slimline motor pod. A piano wire chassis would probably run better but I'm just at the infant stage on that build technique.
Ran at yesterday's Friday race on a speedway type track and it went just fine. A fellow GVSCC member suggested a phantom Camel livery so I'm going in that direction with a yellow and blue finish.
