I used the leftovers from an Airfix 917 and found a use for my slightly under scale print in the pit lane 😊

A superb White Pig. Looks marvellous. In a nice setting, too.

Having both is always good.

@Trisha I was curious as it does sometimes happen and I appreciate your voluminous knowledge of things Porsche.

 

[Anglocanadian]

I'm considering going with a "test day" theme for the pit lane, J car and Mirage M6 coupe spring to mind.
Any other suggestions ?

Ferrari 312P, original 917, GT40 MkI, MkIV? The subjects are practically boundless.

Finally finished !

Including a modified tomato chassis and "chappy" guide flag .

Wonderful AngloC. Another Abfab Pig. Another great Porsche treat. The world's most outrageous piggy.

Chasis looks clean and should do the job mate! The Body looks perfect! 👍🏼👌🏼
What gear ratio did you use and motor? I’m thinking in upgrading my piggy to a Shark 25 as found the Slot it a bit slow for the size of the piggy.

Cheers

Please let us know how your Pig goes with a 25k Shark. An exciting prospect.

Yep, I tried to race it against some Nsr on the last Historic/Can am race at the Northern club , but whereas the Nsr 917,908 were doing 9.2 per lap, the Piggy was 9.8-10 per lap, so it will need some upgrades to get in the fight🙂

Nice looking car @Anglocanadian , looks like it should do ok. Mine is intended to run with Fly cars, not NSRs.

Slot It 11: 32 , took me a while to get the mesh right as the original pod was made for adjustable spherical bearings and i wanted to use plain shouldered bearings.
The motor is described on Amazon as "Scalextric upgrade" from VRC hobbies 20000rpm $17 for 3 !
It runs nicely but i haven't timed it against my other cars yet , it does have a bit of snap oversteer probally due to moving the guide back.
Thanks again to chappyman66

You may want to bring those rear wheels in a bit or it'll handle like a pig

Mine already performs quite well, just not enough against the the big Nsr motors and also experienced racers(The Northern Club is almost only hardcore racing fellows, and Wednesday and Friday are not definitely for newbies), that’s why I think I need more raw power, but I have faith in the piggy to successfully hunt that truffle trophy P1(well maybe a P3😅)

Cheers

Just did some performance testing
Fly 917 : 10.82
Pig : 10.11
Howmet HRS2 : 9.99
Fly 917LH :9.87
The other cars are stock

Did you run it as in the photo with no ballast?
...try filling that pod with a sheet of lead and have another go.

 

[Anglocanadian]

Yes it was running unleaded ,when I find my roll of lead i will give it a go.
I'm working on tire molding as well to see if that improves things.
The wheels are printed push-on, i don't know how they are going to hold up yet .

The White Pig awaits its power plant at Le Mans in April, 1971.

A new arrival destined for the paddock on the Mess. Bought yesterday arrived today. Puddle-pleased, naturally. One of Porsche's greatest ever cars. A pity it had so little use. With a worthy 'cult' following today, all Porsche fans should make at least one pilgrimage to the Museum in Zuffenhausen to see the Pig.

 

[Kevan]

Ooh, that's nice Trisha...I had to go look on their website

...my 3D printed one still languishes in the waiting room...
