Really nice car. Is that a superjet? I want a couple of them in the near future!

Nice!
The 917K DSlot chassis is a perfect fit for the Langheck as well?

I like the look of that one too, Bill.
It seems to me that the resin is a little thick around the back wheel well. Is the whole body shell that thick? My thoughts are if it was thinner you could bring out the wheel width to a wider stance. Or am I being too picky?
Cheers Ted

Can't make it any wider with DSlot rear axle Ted, not without fear of wheels falling off. I don't mind you guys with ligitimate questions asking about stuff like that. Your questions drive me to do better...

Copy that! Cars with out wheels don't go very far. I know because a curb jumped out at me in the city and knocked the front wheel off of my van last summer. I'll tell you it had teeth!
Took a cop and a tow truck to get it away from the van!
Best of the New year to you Bill! I look forward to seeing many more of your builds.

Bill could you use a different axle to give your car a wider stance? or do the Dslot mount their wheels different than Carrera and the others?
Any who that is going to be a very nice build when you get it done.
thanks for sharing.

Thank you for telling me Bill.
I have yet to take my Mazda 787c apart yet,well there goes my idea out the window, I was going to order wheels from Cjent and tires for a project I'm planning but I'll just get them from Lib at a later date.
