Slot-Z

[Modellpularn]

A couple of guys from my slot club came up with the idea of starting a step-in class for new slot racers. The idea was to use just about any Mini-Z body, and mount it on a slot chassis. I chose the Ferrari 575 race version, mounted on a Schöler chassis. Here it is: An early mockup.....

Race ready, on the track for picture taking.

I had more pics...., we had a big race April 25th. Here are the cars in the Slot-Z class, the first group:

The other cars are running in a different class: Sport/GT prototypes.

Good looking cars! I love the older Can-Am cars. 2 questions, what scale are they, and where did you get those turbine wheels?

Can you tell me what scale that blue 917 is in the back right corner of your picture? It look's to be same scale as the Mini-Z bodies. I'm wondering if it'll fit the Mini-Z RC chassis?

Ok guys, I'm happy you liked our lineup....

The first group of cars are Mini-Z bodied, so they are 1/28. The other cars are 1/24-25.

Erik - those turbine wheels are from an old AMT '65 Barracuda I believe, I happened to have some parts from. Never used them. Used photoetched BBS inserts instead. They came with the Schöler chassis kit from Jens Scale Racing in Germany.
