Very nice conversion Eduardo!

Did you not paint the body on purpose, or do these bodies not hold paint very well?

I've seen Eddie's Lotus in action and it is indeed very smooth... didn't you win Double Trouble with that car one year?

Not hollow at all Eddie: John (hi there John) tried to "tickle the tiger", as the first atomic scientists said, and lost his bet - but man, that thing was fast! You stayed within the design parameters and earned the victory (over me and Joel if I remember right...).

Your car worked very well, and had decent speed for a 13D; the motor is why I got them confused.

In any case, the Lotus 30 has got to be the most commonly used body in slot racing, especially if you include the 40...

That was actually mine Steve, about the most popular commercially produced models: the Lotus 30/40 was second, after the Ford GT.

But here I'm also talking about scratchbuilt cars, where the 30 and 40 were even more popular because they were low and wide.

In fact, at least two of the most popular models in slot racing were very unsuccessful full size: the Lotus 30 and the Cheetah!
