Another Midget in the fleet.

Postby btaylor » Mon Nov 05, 2018 6:23 am

Finished up another Revell based Midget this weekend. The body is a resin copy of the revel 50's Midget racer. The wheels are old double flange style of unknown origin. tires are my own casting, as is the driver and car body. Chassis is 1/16" brass rod, re enforced with a .035 brass plate. Motor is MT-1. Gearing is 9/31, all push and sidebars are brass rod as well. Color is dupli color blue lacquer, with parts bin decals. Chassis is painted with ACE brand Chrome silver. Guide is a slotting plus deep wood guide with SCC competition braid, and silicone wire with grub screws. Axles are 1/8" parma front and rear. Windshield is cut from clear plastic tube. Great running little car. I run these at 10 volts on my Hells Gate speedway. A real hoot to race!

Very nice! Wonderful model build! It is on my list to build a 1/24 version of this, but to date it is still "on my list".
