Hi friends,

It's a resin shell found on e.... some years ago.

To complete my Lotus collection, I've decided to try a difficult scratch builing.

The shell :



The wheels, striring wheel and fake motor to hide the real electric motor.






A try to fit all in the shell

The work in progress...





The pilot was made by Proto Slot Kit,
the windscreen and mirrors by me,
The motor is a FF030
The chassis is an old chassis from Beardogracing,
The wheels and insert were from an old kit (Proto Slot Kit)


A test on the track :
