Spy pics of the forthcoming Slot.it Drayson Lola

Hi.
Yes the white kits allow mounting the car as inline.
Suspension can be use even in the RTR, Flat 6 car.

Motor: Flat-6
Gearing:11 /28
Brass Z11 gear, Al/Plastic Z28 AW gear

Weight of painted body: 15.5g
Weight of RTR model (with magnet): 75g
Wheelbase: 91mm
Wheelbase from rear wheel center to pickup clip center: 109mm
Width 63.5
Length 143mm (without rear wing)
Height (from bottom of car) 32.5mm

The crown gear is hidden under the rear left wheel arch.

Savage is correct. The 'enlarged' body fits the Boxer as well as V12 motor, inline. For the V12, the soldering tabs must be bent upwards and the wires should run on top of the motor.
No, not a Boxer in AW: tempting fort the sake of speed, but the Boxer AW would require an obscene alteration of the lines of the car itself.

The Lola is a fast, and forgiving car.

I am very happy of what we've been able to achieve. Even happier when the new Flat 6s will be out.
However, as we say in Italy - this is the pub's owner telling you that the food is good

for those who missed it...

we have Italiaslot's permission to use the pictures, so here are a few of the most interesting:





the new patented pickup system makes it possible to keep the nose of the car as it is, and move the guide forward as much as possible:
this is how get get 109mm of distance between pickup clip and rear axle...













The magnet goes in the best possible place: tight under the rear axle. Good place for tungsten ballast, too!

Simply stunning!!! do you have any estimated release dates for us??

I'll take a drayson and also a rebellion to add to the collection.

I hope you'll also considering another manufacturer for the lola's to go up against.

Cheers,

Braith

Estimated date - end of February to mid March.
Of course we have our own Audi R18 which is being tooled and looks great, plus another LMP for 2013.

I can't tell you yet what the next LMP will be, as it would be too early. Regarding the Audi R18 by Slot.it, moulds will not be ready before Nuernberg , which is where we'll be showing the final prototype. This will probably be interesting as you may be able to judge the differences from existing R18s. However, moulds for a new, yet not announced GT (end of 90's) is ready and news will be released in January. From the Le Mans rules point of view, it is a GT1, so in 2012 Slot.it will launch two LMPs (Lola, Audi R18), a GT1, a gr.C (Lancia LC2 85). It's four completely new moulds. Besides, revisions of two existing classic cars are planned, as well as a deeply revised existing gr.C.
LMP is going to be a major product line for Slot.it. All LMP cars will share the same guide design, as well as the double body concept: one to reproduce faithfully the racing car, Flat 6 AW only, another with enough space to mount Boxer and V12 type motor inline.

A happy 2012 to all readers

Hi.
There's a test drive of the Lola,made by Giacomo of Italiaslot, linked via Slotforum Italiaslot RSS feed
Sorry you can't understand Italian, maybe google can help

Another future livery. Btw all this 1:1 Lola needs now is a pickup and braid
For those who asked: yes a small number of Lola white kits are being released these days in Italy. These have been released to be used in some local championships that are important to the Italian racers.

I am so sorry - but we had to keep this limited to Italy only
