Not included:

  • ESC (electronic speed control) 
    • Note: ESC area is restricted to approximately: 46mm length x 28mm width x 24mm height)
    • Most ESCs would need to be used WITHOUT the fan installed to fit under the steering column - with the small sized motor they don't get too hot anyway!
    • Some suggested known compatible ESCs:
    • Please ask us about any other ESCs --> and we can evaluate if they will fit, for you!
  • Transmitter & Receiver
    • Note: Receiver space is restricted to approximately: 42mm long x 26mm wide x 22m height
If your ESC/Receiver are larger than dimensions noted above you may have a challenge to squeeze it in the available area!

    ...however if you are still unsure if your electronics will fit (and not intending to buy new components for this build) - contact us with the exact model and dimensions of your ESC and/or Rx and we will evaluate the installation feasibility for you, given the variables we can't guarantee, but can give pretty good recommendation either way!

     

    Battery must be:

    • Size: LIPO Shorty 7.4V 2S
    • Max dimensions: 96mm x47mm x 26mm
    • Smaller will fit, and would require you to add padding to suit

    Finishing details:

    • This part is up to you!
    • Please add your passion and modelling skills to finishing off this model with as much detail as you can! The more realistic and period accurate the better!
    • Flexible body parts (printed in TPU) can be painted with any RC paint designed for polycarbonate shells, such as the Tamiya PS range.
    • We recommend using an old-school cool sticker set, such as those available for purchase directly from MCI Racing.com.
    • Even just good old plain British Racing Green, Ferrari Red, McLaren Papaya or Honda White is more than acceptable to reflect historic minimalism!
