Those fiddly bits are… fiddly!  I’ve had the exhaust fall off already and I think there are still some parts from my white kit that I need to get on there.  I’m glad I have a few months to figure all that out.  I will have to use the jig to make sure I am not running wider than I’m supposed to making for better running, but I am very impressed with these little cars.  Maybe my driving skills are improving, but I am starting to get some better times with my March 701 with lower voltage than I was getting with my group C at higher voltage.

I ordered the Kadett white kit from 132slotcar with plenty of time for it to ship early last week, but it still hasn’t shipped and I have received no responses to my inquiries.  I’d heard this was an issue with them sometimes, but I had already done a couple orders with them and they were shipped immediately with no issues.  Anyway, fingers crossed that a miracle happens!  I am probably going to do another hydro-dip on this one.  Stock pic for reference.

I will be running a Scaleauto De Tomaso Pantera, the 1976 livery.  I am running everything as it came out of the box with the exception of Slot.it wheels and F22s in the back and finger nail polish on the front tires.   I was a bit skeptical about it at first with it being a bigger car, but I am getting some good times and consistency out of it with practice and tuning.  I may get the Avant Slot Alpine A310 at some point or get the Fairlady done before the end of H2 so I could give it a shot.  I was intimidated by the rally track at first and now I can’t seem to get enough of it!

Bellator, that wrap looks great!  I decided to try hydro-dipping with mine, given the looming deadline of the race.  Have you been able to source any instructions for the white kits?  I have the Escort and am trying to figure it out with photos of the liveries they make, but instructions sure would speed things along.  I am looking forward to showing off my hydro-dip.  It’s pretty far out.

You guys know I have to ask – White kits allowed?  One of my friends is a graphic designer and wants to do a wrap on one of my cars.  I think the shapes of these with less curves and larger flat surfaces lend themselves well to that.

I am building a March 701 from a white kit.  I don’t know how true it will look to the period with the paint job, but all the parts should be right.  And this one is mostly orange… not green.
