Porsche 550A
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2016 1:33 pmI scratch built a couple more cars this past week, This one is a Porsche 550A coupe
This was built to go, and a little less show so excuse the oversize rear tires. However, I did not have to enlarge the wheel openings to make these fit.
A Gift Card Chassis in an inline configuration, using the new "BARC Block" motor. A 16000 rpm motor with a 6 pole armature with great brakes. It has become my favorite motor displacing the N motors I had been using. Nowhere near the top end but much better torque and the brakes, did I mention the brakes. Results in an easier car to drive fast.
The shell is a resin home cast.
Tires are home cast "BARC Bite" urethanes Last photo has it posed up beside a 143 infamous Mini. :D ( which it was built to try and beat!!!!)
