Leo ,may I ask where the transporter came from?

Yo Steve,
The FIAT 643 is one of my creations Sun

The Ferrari and Maserati trucks are so common...

The cab is one of two that I got a couple of years ago(ish) from a Spanish seller on FaceBook and I think this is him - Toni Ruvira : https://www.facebook.com/toni.ruvira/about?lst=1613985536%3A100004330843356%3A1578506049

The transporter is an homage to one that was used by the Lancia team during Fulvia and Stratos times. There was a fabulous version produced by (I think) Frank Tutass but I have lost the topic.

The cabs arrived with Pegaso style grilles but easily modded back to FIAT

Note - I built the frame from bottom to top but the next one I will do from top to bottom !

How do they drive Leo?

My favourite cars to drive are the SCX Escorts, and my favourite cars to collect are classic rally cars, so obviously I'm very tempted by these.

The wheels look a little oversized, but at least they've got a co-driver, unlike the very pretty AutoArt version.

Hello Leo,

You changed one of Sandro's Fulvias into Simo Lampinen's no.21 car, who finished the event 4th overall. It looks great. Well done. Thumbup

(Now, only no.26 Fulvia of Barbasio-Sodano, 6th overall, is missing).

I ordered my analogue Monte- and digital San Remo Fulvia from Spain. The latter has a small switch, accessible from the bottom, for digital or analogue use.
After some testing laps, the motor moved upwards, caused by the too loose rear motor bracket. Some hot glue at the rear of the motor and floorpan will avoid gear damage.
The guide is positioned too low in the floorpan. This can be solved by adding a shim under the top of the guide rod.
Now the guide position will be higher, but it will also decrease the stroke of the sprung guide.

Yo Jason, regarding the handling ... they are nicely detailed! Well OK, the wheels/tyres are bit oversize but nicely done. The AutoArt car is still the belle of the ball though :-)

As Hub has said, sans-magnet the suffer with Ninco-Hop (at least on Ninco track) so the motor needs braced to the axle supports or glued in. It is the rear motor mount that is weak, the axle mounting looks and feels robust.
Echoing Hubs comments, it understeers straight on on tight corners so lowering the guide blade will help.
These effects were instantly noticeable and as yet I have not experienced the same with the SCX Safari Deltas but have not run them much.

Yo Hub,
Yes - I like "Teams" so needed a Rallye Montecarlo partner for Sandro's car.

Could not match the fonts very well but reasonable. The San Remo car would suit my transporter better! In fact at the moment the only Marlboro liveried car that I have is the Targa Florio Stratos. I will keep an eye open for a Marlboro Fulvia but it looks like they will only be available as digital and in Espana.
(To be honest, I try to avoid cigarette sponsorship)

Just to add to the poor motor mount arrangement on the Fulvia chassis.
The rear of the motor is held by two side cheeks and not at the bottom which is where the weakness arises from. Picture tells a thousand words, below is the picture and allows comparison with the Delta that was also recently released and has a better, more normal arrangement.

Thanks Leo. Thumbup

I'm still tempted.
