Philippe,
remember, you've a standing order for this car! But due to import duties I've to add some more stuff to this order - they charge 26 bucks just for handling - VAT is 6.5%.
Please add 2 chassis 1/32 and 1 chassis 1/24 - execution like last order - to the body - and send 2 bodies - one painted and one kit please.
I NEED THIS CAR!!!!

Thomas,
You will have the first one out there.
Did you try the chassis yet?
Regards,
PdL

...Philippe, I've tried the chassis - excellent! And therefore I need more of them

I can recommend the TSRF-1/24 chassis for every scratchbuilder! The only thing to take care about - there is VERY little clearance below!

 

[TSRF]

Yes, the clearance is only 1/16" or 1.5" in 1/1 scale for the 1/24 car, and 2" for the 1/32 scale. It is patterned after the clearance of modern race cars when in full flight, I.E. with down force applied. It also folows the general racing rules of pro-racing until these guys went onto a near-zero clearance...

The down side is that when used on Carrera banking, the front end of the steel pan will drag and must be trimmed. Also it requires a slight 'blip" over the Carrera bridge.

Unfortunately we had to make choices, as an all-around compromise would have disappointed the segment of hobbyists we were trying to reach.
Regards,

Mr. Pea

...Philippe, that's no problem - I won't use the Carrera-bridge in a serious racetrack - and banked curves only up from radius 2. And there are no problems!
