Keeping up with you is pointless :) Nice find!

I remember messing with them. Motor swap was needed and had K&D make tires. I think the 15x7 PG tires will fit.

Never did work with it much. Jim and I raced them a few times, but needed more attention.

Here is another car that will benefit from all the goodies we have today.

Don't you like "Mini-Me" the driver?

I have one and I am glad I grabbed it, great looking little car, the wheels are quite a treat, they are plastic press on but as best I can tell the spokes are etched metal.

Mine had already been setup by a pretty handy tuner (some how I managed to snaffle it from 50s ahead of you :) )

It has an NC1 motor in it - a must I think if it has the same AA motor as the Mustang (I have one of them as well that goes fine). The body has been lowered, and Glen put a proper sized driver in it. I will take some photos and post them later. I am pretty sure he left the stock gear on the back which I think is 27t I am thinking of dropping that back to a 24t or 25t to have a 9/25 - will experiment and see how it goes. I have a 9/24 in my Lancia D50 and it goes well.

The sides of the chassis have been sanded for a bit of body float. I am thinking about moving the exhaust pipe and attaching it to the body. that might allow a bit more float. Glen put about an inch square of lead in the middle of the chassis just behind the motor. He also has a bit of tubing on the motor chaft to replace the spring.

Photos soon

cheers
David

I took the exhaust off and ran some laps without it, don't think it really made that much difference.

Jeremy sorry I was late. I have mine running pretty well right now. I too went with the NC-1 but M/T motor would be perfect as well. I removed all the lights, removed fender wells, replaced spring on motor shaft with pen tube, replaced plastic pinion with brass and I put my weight right behind the rear wheels on either side of the back body screw. I also used SCC silicone tires in the rear and Ninco tires in the front. I trued the tires and polished the gears. After seeing Dangermouse's I will replace the driver and lower it some. As she stands she will run with the Ninco classics. Good luck Jim

Jeremy, Did you ever get your Autoart C Type sorted out, and if so, what did you do to get it running well? Did you leave the jockey in there?

Driver aside, this is a great looking car. But of the box, mine runs and sounds like it's got chains on the tires. I want to get this fella in line with the old Carrera's and Ninco Classics, and I'm just wondering what route you went before I get started. I guess I'm at about the same place now that you were back in October with this car. Autoart is totally alien to me and I'm just wondering if there are tips or things to look out for specific to the brand. Thanks.

Swapped an NC-1 into mine, took out the guide spring and that was about all I did to mine to match it up with my other Ninco classics. The original rear tires are very skinny but hooked up surprisingly well on my routed track. Swapped a mrrc driver into the cockpit that helped looks considerably. My experience is that after a motor swap for more realistic speed these cars don't require much else.

Don't have mine close by to check but I may have hot glued the bushings and might have added superglue to the inner bushings as well. Noise is not a problem even without custom parts. Ninco classics run well on my track even with stock rubber. And the C-type keeps up with most any of them just fine with it's stock tires.
