Nice build! I like these bigg scale builds! and this kit seems way better than the Revell 1/16 kits that i have.

I have, as I wrote, had a problem with the body since the kit actually is chassis 001 and 002 with the narrow body. And in late 2000 they built chassi 003 which is the one racing in 2001 and which also has the most wins, 10 out of 17 races. So the 003 chassi and all the later ones are actually 3 inches wider than the two early cars. I wanted to replicate that wide body and after studying al photos I can find on these which I have managed to gather allot! I draw the cut lines on the spare body and went ahead. I extended the gap with a 1,6mm rod which compensates for the cut as well. So after the test run I will try the same on the actual body.. I just regret not doing this before cutting it in al its parts!!

Modeled a new difusor on pictures from the 2001 cars. Think it represents better the 1:1 of 2001 now.

Wow what a build! great work on sculpting that body!

Here is a mockup with the wheels that should represent the 1:1 wheels the best.

Thanks Pierre! Yes the panel lines will be taken care of soon Yes that might be a good thing, the OB piece is bulky and thick in every way. Yes i am, have two different setups, only thing i dont have is a good tire to print otherwise i would print them as well. Nice! I was reviewing your thread just now and they al look good mate! The chassi fitment to the body is something i have heared about earlier as well so was kind of prepared for that. The louvers was a pita to open but that is done on this body, still need to be done on the 2000 LM car. I have done that on my other C5-R chassi under the Silverado body so i am familiar on how to get posable steering Nice, will keep that in mind for color choise, i have bought LP yelow and will do a test shoot some day to show how that looks. Thanks for taking time to respond!

Nice builds Rich! Enjoy them both!

Nice build!

Nicke builds! I have gotten the tip to use thin pins that gotten drilled in to the chassis and the body to secure it in place. all your 3 builds look sharp as always!

Epic car and sound! Well both of them of course!

Nice work on those RC's! Och välkommen till forumet! Vi är några Svenskar som hänger här

Thanks Bob!

I do also have these wheels to try..

Haha! Thats exactly my type of humor! Thanks BTW!

Nice build! Looks like a good kit for sure!

Thanks! Thank you! There you go! We always learn something!

Thanks Pat!

Well the engine looks promising! But the Tamiya body and I am not on the same page so I try to massage the body to my liking by putting flairs and adjusting the rear quarters. The roof still feels to tal but nothing to do about that, when I make it wider it should look lower. Give me your two cents!

Nice build there! Like your details! And i will have to pick up on your tequnice of fixating the cables under neath.

Nice build Chuck!

Nice builds every one! I have a couple of I6 builds going but I was thinking of making a quick build out of one other that i bought partly built. Here is a teaser..

Nice work! Thats what's called a Shooting brake on this side of the pond. Nice build.

Epic modeling and printing going on here! Great work! Keep it up!

Great kit! And great build! Will be following to the end!

Made some progress, have been thinking on how I could use the original C5R oil cooler and naca ducts and I figured that I could put the naca ducts in the bed behind the cab and the cooler in more or less the original place in the frame. Also printed a second version of the pushrod coil setup, and made them to have the look as a Ölins shock. What’s your thoughts?
