NISMO GTR 34 Motul Pitwerk Tamiya-slotcar conv.
This tamiya kit is really nice, fun to build and very well detailed. a huge improvement on the older models.
I built #22 as a test to see how the parts could be made to fit a slot car chassis and what kind of mods would be needed to make the most of the original kit keeping in mind the fact that the car must be light in order to peform on the track and that in order to also look good, as many parts as possible of the kit needed to be used or scratch built out of a lighter material.. I will later (try to) build the #23 and the calsonic a lot better, will also inclued the PE parts (studio27) which are not yet on and a driver (tamiya) will also be placed in the car (.... any helmet pics??) My rear wheel wells and the parcel shelf are scratch built to save weight and parts of the slot car chassis are scratch built out of real carbon fiber . At 172g, the finished car is quite light compared to cars that have a lot less detail. The modena i built weighed 30 gramms more... I checked out this site for reference pictures : http://www.nismo.co.jp/M_SPORTS/ente...ent/index.html chassis        Last edited by fola; 11-13-2006 at 12:50 AM. |

Re: Motul Pitwerk GTR 34 Tamiya slotcar conv.
That is really cool. Are most slot cars in 1/24 scale?

That is some awsome work. I would be concerned about crashing and destroying all that work. I would propably only do parade laps with that car. I would love to see more of your conversions.

Damn that's really cool!
But wouldn't have the guts to drive around a car after putting so much work on it, like you did! Maybe with 25 coat of clear

Re: Motul Pitwerk GTR 34 Tamiya slotcar conv.
thats really cool idea. forgot they made 1/24 scale slots. now i remember my dad playin with them when i was small.....i did something along the same lines but i converted a celica to fit of a Koyosho Mini Z chassis. it is scary driving a nice one but you gotta look cool while whoopin on someone. maybe i should make a thread on my mini z conv! NICE WORK BY THE WAY! nice finish and decal work!
