I had a request to build one of the NSR 86/89 cars in the Aryton Senna "Camel" Lotus 99T livery. The car will be raced on wood, so the heavy FK-180 was swapped out for a Piranha FC-30, and NSR rubber tire are used. The stock pinion/Crown were replaced with an MB Slot pinion, and a Slot-it Crown. The rear axle has been swapped out for a Koford axle.
I really do not like using the motor shaft to control gear mesh, so, the shaft was cut, and spacers were used on either side of the Crown to control lateral play........using spacers between the Crown, and each rear axle bushing ensures that the mesh will never be affected,..as is the potential case when spacers are used on the outside of the rear axle bushings
The car was painted with Tamiya "Camel" yellow, with decals from Virage, Indycals and the decal box.........the "Senna" helmet is from Interlagos miniatures, and coupled with a few decals on Senna's driving suit, really make the car.

And lined up next to Keke Rosberg,........another NSR built a while ago.
