Lotus Europa build 2

[VTECFOUR]

Did a body switcharoo. The original body was used as a master for casting but was slightly damaged in the process. Repairs are being done, but in the meantime re-pop number 1's into service immediately.







Body's mounted and the desired stance was achieved.



Although with a good amount of grinding in the wheelarches and a session on the tire truer to reduce the wheel/tire diameters, front and rear, to be free-wheeling.

Quite pleased, modeling and performance-wise. Runs just as well as my stock body Europa.

Onto more chassis and modeling work.

Chassis's done with added .064 side pans.



Helped the handling and driveability. Stays with the stock Slot Its on my twisty wood track.



Stance works for me.

Some sanding and the body's ready for primer.

Looks great Dan, and to hear it runs with the stock slot its is a great tribute for a resin car.
Nicely done

Love the body......very nicely done. The chassis is a pretty one too.

[VTECFOUR]

Got some Tamiya paints on. Mica Silver sprayed and Lin Gray brushed on the bumpers and windscreen surround. Kept the monotone theme with Pactra silver trim tape stripes.





Will finish it with a few coats of Future to minimize the scrapes.

Worked out OK.
