Finally finished this a few days ago. I used Sloting Plus America wheels, Slot It. axles, wood guide, B-Nova guide adapter, Slot It. Zero grip front tires, SCC bushings, and Super Tires Yellow Dog urethanes on the rear, NSR gear 27 tooth (smaller diameter than Slot It., thanks Dickie for the suggestion), Professor Motor silicone lead wires, and lead weight, pinion gear not sure, but adapts the 1.5mm shaft to 2mm to fit the axle gear, Ultracal decals number stickers, and other various stickers. This was a fun project and should run well, hopefully. :)

Thanks guys. These aren't the easiest cars to work on. Sort of small on the inside. I think it came out pretty good. :)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm still working on the NSR Fiat Abarth, but it's been a struggle, lost parts, delays for replacements, waiting for decals, and finding time. Will post pics when finished. I switched my Photobucket account over to their beta version and it works just fine. :)

Nice car, Ken! Dickie tuned one of these for the Carrera proxy race, and it was a really nice runner. Don't tell him I said so. :)

Thanks Kurt. I heard about the one Dickie built. It did quite well I hear too. These are neat cars. They sell them in the UK according to a friend of mine who lives there. He says they are expensive. :)

I've been thinking of doing exactly this rebuild, thanks for the inspiration!
