After the Porsche 906 I decided to tackle the Ferrari P4. Built on the Gift Card Chassis with an FF M20 motor left me lots of room for interior. Rear axle has bearings in the bearing blocks, and I am using a solid front axle. I moved away for the individual spindles as they were problematic, and the old KISS principle should never be underestimated. The chassis has side pod flat brass added since this pictures was taken to stiffen and add some needed weight. The interior is built but I haven't added gauges, steering wheel, or pilot yet.
These motors are quite surprising and I thought I would burn them up, but so far so good. They are not very tourqy, but they deliver a nice quiet good handling car. I will have to do some times runs, and use a Stock Go MAG chassis as a base line. These no mags of course do not run as fast as the stock Mag cars, but with the urethane tires I have surprised myself at how well these do.
Rims are aluminum turned with Photo etch inserts.
Tires are Urethane castings I did because I needed the grip on this NO mag 1/43 scale car
I resin cast the shell and vacuum formed the windows. Still lots of work to do and the camera has revealed some other area to improve upon as well.
I will mold a driver and get some interior shots tomorrow.
