hello guys,

among a lot of gt-class starters in le mans ´71 you can find this 911s, driven by -waldegaard/cheneviere, finished 13th.position.
the model was built up from a -fly-standard porsche 911; it´s a repaint based on a totally stripped body.
all decals ( exept some badges like -esso-,-cibie- ) are made by me.
the model has ( as all my models have) a lighting/brake function taken from -overdrive-.









best regards

claus

Fantastic work Claus!

From the neat and tidy wiring, correct colour led lights, but most astounding is the thin red line ...... excellent decals! I really like the livery too.

Looks really good, but the thing I love most is the heckmotor

I've owned VWs and Tatras so have a soft spot for rear engined cars, how does it go on the track? Is the front very light?

Yes siree, you need a minimum 15g up front if running without magnet. Both Fly and AutoArt are heckmotored - and awesome fun once they're set up.

Fantastic livery Claus, beautifully executed -

- but where's the weight???

@ choc-ice : i also like the -heckmotor- position ! the handling is like the original. up to a certain moment -neutral - but then fast drift begins directly.

a real 911 ( in particular those from start of production to the 90th.) is no car for beginners !!
as i mentioned -speed and lap time- as absolute datas are not my first interest -otherwise a rear motorposition is nonsense -.
i can report that the -fly-porsches are comparible in lap-time to those front-motorpositioned models.

the front lighting is a 3mm (diameter) led with warm-light look. ( no xenon look! ) in the seventies car-lighting looks like this.
-overdrive- ( www. slotservice.com ) offers some different typs of leds.

@ driver#8: the porsche runs without magnet !!! to get a usable handling you have to add weight (fine lead pieces.)
positioned lateral/around the pick-up- in the front. unfortunately i do not remember well how much weight i have added.
i quess minimum 10 g. weight of the model is 82 g in total, with driver !

kind regards from munich

very nice looking car and great detail!! nitpicker as I am..........the rear wheel needs an 5th wheelnut

just kidding man, this car looks great!!

 

[Petr L]

Great job !

hi , FZSsemans alias peter,

you are right, and no problem at all about your so called -nitpicking-. don´t worry.

as well as the rims by -fuchs- or -minilite- ( front or rear, in that size!!) need 5 wheel bolts for fixing correctly.
just have a look at the website: www. minilite.de
to alter the construction now is a little bit difficult. the existing inserts are bonded well into the hub...........

kind regards

hello all,

@ petrL : front as well as rear the -fly- minilite- insert is wrong.........

another 911s from the le mans race 71´. the same -problem- with the missing 5th bolt at the - minilite - rims rear axle.
....but even with 4 bolts they are running very well...........





kind regards

claus

front/rear wheel should be changed, but nice car too

 

[luke1989]

no man he should keep the fusches on there and get rid of the minilites!!! minilites dont suit german cars atall!!!

 

[choc-ice]

The yellow glow of the headlights is perfect, well done!

my thought exactly, but in the 1971 version of the 911 they used them. dunno why. probably a size matter

hello all, good morning

they use the -minilte- rims because larger (in diameter) brakediscs could be used.

here is a picture from the porsche #42 :


from: 24 heures du mans, moity/teissedre volume 2, page 134

the -fly-model showes the right position for the -minilite - rim at the frontaxle. it should not be changed. (.....but wrong number of bolts.....)

regards
