Very, very nice Alex, super clean. You didnt buy those button head screws on Ebay did you lol? Just wondered as they look identical to what i bought lol.
Really love those mag bulkheads, super sexy, and very, very trick!

Yes indeed, very nice and very symetric.

how's it feel to have one sitting in front of you mate? did a fantastic job on her

Looking real nice Alex! Very clean I see you've gone for the 'Masami' spec chassis - will you make the other 'mods' that his car had, trimmed shock towers, bulkhead + motor mount lightening etc?

Thanks for your kind words guys. I'm surprised how quickly I managed to get the parts together to build this. I have to say a big thanks to members on this forum who have helped me complete this build. I had a great day yesterday putting it all together

Lee, yes I got them from eBay I couldn't resist the titanium

Dan, it was my intention to do an exact Masami replica, but as you and Reggie did such a good job I thought I'd build my own unique version.

Hopefully in the next week or so I will have the correct slotted kingpins to replace the hex versions I currently have on the car and then there will be the shell. At the moment I'm thinking a take on Masami's proto worlds MX 4.

I also need to get the correct titanium screws for the shocks.

A few more gratuitous pictures.

Good lord! Everyone is faster than me Looking good! Nice snag on the Ti screw set....still on my list. I like that wing and yellow wheel combo

Thanks, I think the wheels and wing go well. Had the wheels already and the wing was very cheap on eBay

That Alex, looks so nice, love that green Sorbet wing lol, very 90's acid.......ill say it again, such a clean meticulous build, its nice to see such care taken, as its one of my OCD's LOL.

Awesome build Alex.... Where did you find the main chassis?

looks excellent. very well done.

i don't see the "coat hanger" linking the two bellcranks. do you have a carbon brace linking them together?

Thanks again Lee.

Scott, the chassis is from fibrelyte and comes from a mold that Dan made up.

Vette, no wire on the WCS it's a piece of black G10 I got again from fibrelyte. It was used to give a more aggressive feel to the steering, although as Reg noted, it gives horrible bump steer I used 3 washers under the ball to dial it out.

So are you going to give it a run at any point? I would have a hard time having a car like that and not knowing what a Champs car felt like...

I'm tempted to run it, perhaps next time it snows I'll take it outside (less chance of scratches in the snow )

Just run it on tarmac like i intend to lol, its safer, bit less fun in a way, but these cars are so rare!
