The choice is just as bewildering as the Rally proxy so just like the Jag which was gathering dust waiting for resurrection I'm going to do the same with a dusty repaired Carrera Audi RS5 DTM bodyshell.
The plan will go something like this:
So here's the 'first fix' chassis with dusty RS5
The plan will go something like this:
- Kev's 3D chassis
- Independently rotating wheels with split front axle like the Jag
- SlotIt SW pod
- NSR 22k Shark
- Slotingplus guide (cut down)
- Not sure on tyres, NSR are favourite but like the idea of trying newer rubber like Revoslot kit tyres or Scaleauto AS25's...or even a pair of Thunderslots which I've never tried but read great things about them
So here's the 'first fix' chassis with dusty RS5

Yes that Porsche looks great silver

And I have checked the SRC 23k Slimline, that one and the Scalextric Slimlines are all approved.

Please don’t paint the Alfa silver ?
It just looks great as it is.
If another Revoslot Alfa runs, I’ll pick up another body and shoot it silver. I had the pleasure of seeing it run for the first time last week. ‘

The RS5 is a roller.
This is mk2, wheelbase was 0.5mm too long on mk1, the sills needed moving back a similar distance and I've profiled the rear of the chassis.
Front wheels I'm happy with, rears need to be a bigger wheel but these will do for setting up purposes.
We're racing Saloons this Thurs so will give it a run...I may even race it.
This motor/pod are out of a 3D printed Studebaker Champion, NSR Shark 22 and gears.

Kevan, that look like a great start and I’m happy you’re competing…. what wheels are those on the front of the Audi?

They're the rears off a Black Arrow Black Bull
