Hi all,

Here's a text taken from Slot Adictos (http://miarroba.com/foros/ver.php?foroid=2...&temaid=3226659).

At last, after a long wait, we'll have the chance to enjoy with one of the most emblematic cars.
These are the first Spirit's R5 Turbo images, it will be released this summer.
There are a lot of news "under the hood":
New guide support to keep it firmly hold in place.
More angle movement for the arm guide, better adjustment.
Front axle is height adjustable thanks to two Allen M2 screws.
Exchangeable motor support, new guide.
Plastic rims.
News tyres -design- and better grip.
Versions will be released as follows:
-Turbo 1
-Turbo Tour de Corse
-Maxi Turbo: (Speed) Marlboro Alesi, Momo -red and green-. (Rally) Carlos Sainz, Rangnotti.

There are some pics:





Peugeot 205 "Zanini"


Peugeot 205 "Belga"

People tell me A and B, They tell me how I have to see, things that I have seen already clear.
So they push me then from side to side, they're pushing me from black to white, they're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear.

But don't push me to the maximum, shut your mouth and take it home, 'cause I decide the way things gonna be.

I want out!

Hi!

For some reason pictures in your post look very crappy, as if the cars were very low quality resin body cars. Lets see if it´s possible to post links directly to evotecshop.









Hmmmmm, looks better now. Hope that Evotecshop does not change the location of the pics. Really nice cars. What will the price be?

Cheers!

Julius

The location of the pics won`t be changed during, at least, 2 or 3 weeks.
The price probably will be the same of ther spirit cars.
Regards.

I simply just need one of those.
It could sound like if they have upgarded the briliant chassis from the 205 on the R5 to be even better.

Hi Julius.

I downsized pictures to fit 600-pixels limit. Probably I didn't check JPG compression level.

Thanks for posting original pictures.

Ok but here is my dilema. Fly is also coming out with the R5 and theirs looks better. I like Spirits chassis but I also loike a good looking car. Sounds like a good head to head review since both should be out this year.

Good dilemmas to have though - 80's rallying is becoming better catered for at the mo.

Think I'll go for the........actually I don't know!

I dont know how exactly are de magnet races out of Spain, but here, although we practically have striped the magnetic element, in the few races that we do dominate good tuned Slot.it or Spirit, they are a little better (not much) than the Tecnitoys 333SP and the Fly Racing's.
