ELECTRIC DREAM PRESENTA NUEVOS PRODUCTOS

Lola T70 Project

You'll recall from an issue or two back that we took a couple of heavily used Fly Lola T70 cars apart and removed the paint from the bodies quickly and easily by soaking them in denatured alcohol. We used one of them to test a new paint line we were considering but that didn't work out. We couldn't just let the cars sit there in pieces so we repainted the bodies anyway. And since a smart new paint job deserves a good-running chassis to ride on we decided to give the cars' chassis a few quick and easy upgrades. And here's where we are now:

We now have two painted and decalled bodies and two chassis awaiting just lead wires and braid to be ready to run. The chassis will be ready by the time we have finished with adding detail parts and interiors to the bodies.

A closeup of the chassis shows the upgrades we've made. We replaced the stock motor with a Pioneer 21,000 RPM unit and replaced the original Fly gears with Scalextric ones, as described above. We modified the Fly motor pod to accept a neodymium bar magnet in place of the original cylindrical magnet. This gives magnetic downforce over more of the car's width, providing more than adequate downforce with much better drivability. We've done this same magnet mod to a lot of Fly pod cars ad the results are always a big improvement for racing on plastic track. To complete the package we replaced the stock rear tires with silicones.

Next: Final assembly and testing.
