Both those cars look great!!!
JAS (jason) and i haven't bothered with repaints, but here are ours.

(memo: check to see if the pics youv'e taken are crap, BEFORE you load them up on photobucket!!!!!!!!!)

For JAS we have a Ninco Lambo:

Just needs wheel inserts and a new set of tyres for the rear.

And for me, we have:
Plan A: Proslot (policar) Ferrari.
Still needs a little work. hehehe.


And
Plan B:
Fly Racing Ferrari F40.

Just needs rear wheel inserts to match the fronts (on the work bench, half finished)


Mexico200, where did you get your wheels/inserts from?

Thanks for that.

Looks like no one else has finished their car yet.

I have finished mine. I think?? It looks awful i made a complete mess of my first go at a paint and decal job but it was at least fun. Note to self "make sure fingers are free of superglue before inserting windscreen. I have tried forever to get rid of rear axle hop. The thing has the motor screwed in enough glue in the motor bracket to stop anything movingand a new axle but we will see. Might need to enter a trusty slot it Mclaren at the last minute.

Let me guess , a Ninco?
Glue in the axle bushes and check your rim's if they are not alloy they could be warped.

Hi all, this is my 355 WiP. It's a Proslot Ferrari spider, a company now dead; I hope she will run well against the new ones!
Someone told to me she was designed by the same GM who is now behind NSR Renault, Mosler, Ford and Porsche.

Hi Guys,
here is my entry for this year.
SCX Seat Cupra GT



This is the first DUPR car I have build.
Hope it will last the distance, and not too far behind.

Brett, could I have one more run on your track.
Will SMS you today as well.

[espsix]

Christian,
I'm planning a test day in the next week or so, i'll give you plenty of notice, maybe we can get a few other melbourne cars over so we can see how slow/fast our cars are.


@ Sprint, looks great so far, but i hope it's not as fast as last years capri.

I'm doing an open day at my new track on the 25th Jan,you guy's are welcome to come do some testing here.

[manimmal]

I've not got too much pressure on this year, an improvement will be to either finish every round, or not come last.

it's still a ford though, this time 3 times the cylinders!!!

not sure if this means three times the crashes, three times the scratches or three times better finish - yeah that one would be nice.

i'd be very happy to get top 10 in class at the end of the series, that's the goal(shhhh), but having driven two rounds last year i know what to expect, and there's only so much money and time you can throw at a car before it comes down to the 'x factor'.

oh, and if sprints car has a stronger motor this year it'll need a winged keel.

Actually it isnt a ninco but a MB slot pagani zonda. Ninco bracing is a piece of cake. The thing had everything done to it I even braced the pod and i couldnt figure it out at all. Wayne put on a set of slot it wheels "rear" and the thing seemed to be a lot better it seems that the very expensive magnesium you beaute wheels had a fraction of slop in them couple that with a NSR king evo with more torque than oprah and guess the result. Have bought a set of NSR wheels as the 2.37 mm opening means they will go on really snug but there will hopefully be no slop and no hop. The car is as ugly as hell but it goes hard. Kind of reminds me of an old girlfriend.
