                                                     Vintage Tamiya Group C Sauber-Merc 1990

This is the original car from 1990 but with a remake body and f104 tyres with pirelli decals.
The f104 tyres are not as wide as the original tyres so im planning to make a custom motorpod design to make it 200mm wide.

Im doing a complete conversion on this one. I took out the drive shafts in the front to make it rearwheel drive only. Also doing a custom job on the chassis. I fitted Tamiya F104 body and wings. it will fit Shorty pack lipo's where the batterij normaly sits.

updates coming very soon.

I took an old piece of Carbon Fibre fitted a motormount to it and sqeezed it into place. I used 540 type motor from CC. and used the 2nd speed as my spurgear. 16teeth on the pinion. this setup with 7.4v lipo gave me around 75km/h

with the BMW lemans body. For use this body u must change the rear whisbones to make the cars wheelbase shorter. This will give u great advantage on a short circuit with many corners.

The car itself is vlose to standard out of the box.

This car is  in absolute mint condition considering its age. This is the Gas Powered version which is easy to convert to brushless, but i got the original engine still runing.

They dont make them so nice any more.
