This was just a body donated to me by a fellow collector (thanks Mark!), with no chassis or running gear and missing one exhaust. Picked up a collection of old strombecker chassis,
so was able to fix one up and fit a mabuchi clone small can motor to it, with very little cutting and some custom made adaptors. Made up a 2nd exhaust by moulding the existing one,
then cutting the end section of the pipe off and reversing it to fit the other side. Detailed the interior, and added some decals, and voila! the finished product for your viewing pleasure.
Is a very nice runner, very light and very fast, so I had to add quite a bit of weight to get it to handle (over 20gm).
