Maybe someone has seen sense and decided to leave the ugly brute to Carrera alone. 😋

you should be banned for even thinking about this! ;-)

Any news on this release? I’m looking to build the Turner Motorsports Macintosh livery.
View attachment 359359

Also what happened to the TA71 3DP kit? I can’t find one anywhere.

Man, that livery is great....I do not know what is going on with sideways....maybe BMW is going after them.
Is there someone producing the decals for that livery?

 

[mickey thumbs]

I thought I saw them on Pattos site but a quick look tonight didn’t find them. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part.

Yes, I am eagerly waiting for some livery cars - Bentley, Lexus and this BMW. Sideways not released much GT3 last few months.

On the positive I ran some laps in my mates BMW M6 and was happy. It felt very planted and balanced

 

[mickey thumbs]

I couldn’t wait and ordered a Carrera M4 today as a body donor. I’ll look for a 3DP chassis or build a brass one. I need a a SW or AW setup to match my other cars.
Patto makes these two Turner liveries now.

I’ll email Bruce and beg for the Macintosh.

ProSpeed makes a 3DP chassis for the Carrera for a slot.it pod. Ordered from Shapeways. Here we go!

On closer inspection, even if someone made this wrap livery decal, I lack the skill to apply it. Turner ran the yellow and blue car with the TACO name instead of TURNER. If I can figure out how to do reverse italics in Apple Keynote I might try that one.

This is from 2020, but they used it at a race a couple of weeks ago on the M4.

Have you looked on MTR32.com?
This is one that you are looking for: MTR32
Milan (MTR32) has a good selections of M4 liveries.

 

[mickey thumbs]

Thanks. I’ll look around his site - it’s new to me. Here is the 2023 Tacos livery. It’s an inside joke with the team about going out for tacos after a race win. Has become a good luck charm livery for them.

The M4has been stripped and excess weight removed from interior and trim pieces. 3DP SW chassis is on the way. Thanks to Grunz the Turner Liqui Moly decals have been ordered from MTR32. My first time buying from him so we’ll see how it goes. 🤞

I've done a set of vacform parts for the Carrera M4 GT3: windows, side trim pieces (airintakes and side exhaust molding) and interior

Available from www.svworkz.be

These parts I've used for a customer build, a GT3 Interseries M4, using the ProSpeed RSN chassis and BabyKing motor. Customer chose to keep the original Carrera testcar livery.

Very capable car, with body weight at 22,4gr (original helmet, original Carrera rollcage and Z-Machine full light kit included), all-in weight at 89,4gr (with 22gr body and 88gr all in being the GT3 Interseries minimum weights)
Don't mind the foam pads holding up the rear spoiler, flexible supports are in the making.

Those vac forms are veery tempting!
Unfortunately the postage from Belgium is six times the cost of the parts, so I’ll have to pass. But a nice selection of vac form parts available from TTC.

Decided to try the Sideways M6 lexan interior.

 

[frp1700]

It'll probably be big enough to fit the M4 body, but the general awful "blob" look (inrecognisable driver, next to no detail whatsoever )of most off the shelf lexan interiors is what made me take up making my own with nicely detailed vacform parts as a result.
Most of the GT3 Interseries contestants have meanwhile switched to TTC parts.
Development is ongoing, with next models being the Sideways Lexus RC-F and the ScaleAuto Acura NSX GT3's.

Actually, even for the shortly available Slot It Oreca 07 LMP2 we've got a perfect fit, high detail vacform option available. Just needs a helmet.

Btw, sorry for hijacking this thread with some advertising 😉

 

[mickey thumbs]

Just needs some decals and detail paint touches. Test laps show it will run mid-pack among my GT3 cars, a little quicker than the slot.it Maserati. Weight with wing is 88gm.

Well somebody bloomin' hijacked it into some kinda on-going Carrera show 'n' tell so your crime is relative. 🤨

 

[mickey thumbs]

I wouldn’t have even known about the Carrera if you hadn’t mentioned it.😏

 

[pslot]

The Sideways/Racer M4 was announced more than a year ago .....
whats happened to it

anybody know ?

 

[Wankel Ickx]

Anybody care?

I mean, I don't: it's an Beemer, and I don't like those, and it's fugly as sin (see the first post). 🤗

Whatever, I think there was a 3d-toaster print at Gaydon last time out. Maybe it was a test shot. Sideways just aren't known for their speed but that's cool. The only one I'm aware of that didn't come to fruition was the Ferrari they threatened to do.

Guess Ferrari threatened them back. 😬

I doubt BMW are fussed. I reckon you'll get your fugly. In time.

Having recovered from Chris Bangle's mess, are BMW's fans any happier today?
