The most colorfull R8 of them all ...? the "Crocodile Audee" that was raced in the and even made an one off appearnce in the Australian final race.

Resin Slotkit based on LMM curbside kit.

Rework mould made by Mad Productions in cooperation with LMM

Contents>
Very complete Slotkit, includes one piece resin body, seperate resin and photo-etched detail parts, decals and resin wheel inserts.


Slotcar conversion remarks:

Mad Productions completely reworked the R8 body so it fits on Sidewinder Chassis with Ikarachi motors and includes housing for the spur gear.

Resin body is also thinner (and lighter)than original LMM casting.

Achilles heel of all Audi's seems to be the nose and front wheelarches.
In a crash these can crack. reinforcement with GFK advised.

Other versions possible with LMM and Patto decals.
