Cool My WCS Runner

So this was in the garage and I thought i better start on it



I've been collecting parts for this for over a year and I'm just waiting on a couple of parts to finish it off.

New alloy motormount with belt tensioner


New TCS




Building from a stack of parts and another car takes so much longer but I think is more satisfying I think


Gonna use the ballraced steering I got a while ago on this I just need to de anodise it I think to go with the mount.






Rear shock tower support added with a mod stole from Mr Wooster (great idea as always Dan)



So that's as far as I can go till the rest of my bits show up and I can't wait to get it finished and on the track.

Progress has been a little on the slow side but it's now taking shape, I wasn't liking the colour of the steering so that was first.


It's great what a bit of oven cleaner can do




So now it's starting to come together

So after getting my parts from Fiberlitye I could carry on there a great match over the originals




These are the FL front towers that until they arrived I didn't notice they were wrong, but luckily I had a couple of spares.


Now coming to get her nicely







Now I found my turnbuckles I can finish it off

Couldn't resist a photo opp of them both together with the Rory Cull shell that will end up on it, wether it gets run I'm yet to decide



There's still a little to finish off but I'm hoping to have it running soon

Thanks guys appreciate it

I think I've settled on the wheels, well until I find some pink ribbed rear wheels if anyone's got some spare?

Body trimmed and just sat till I get an undertray, What do you think?








Just got to sort a wing out and waiting for some electrics for it

I saw a guy in the US do this to a high downforce AE wing so I thought I would have a go, it's not the best but for a first attempt I'm more than happy.

This has been a bit of a PITA to wire up but I think I've got it sorted now.

So yesterday saw the IconicRc meet at Broxtowe MCC great turnout and I managed to get some time with the WCS on track.





When the track dried out fulley it had so much grip I think I need some mini spikes on it rather than pins. But all in all its a great car to drive and I can't wait to get it back out.
