Tamiya Sauber Mercedes
I'm busy assembling the Tamiya Sauber Merc. The rear spoiler is attached to the chassis. So obviously a part of the kit chassis must be attached to
the body. Is there any detailed info on the best way to do this. When making up these kits is it okay to use the normal kit glue? Does the body need
reinforcing?

Hiho,
well when we race the Sauber C9 or any other groupe C like racecar in our SLP series in germany, we attache the rear wings with rubber. we don't use
the original wing-holders. I always use Revell glue for parts that have to stay together. for windscreens and all other clear parts I use Pattex
Repair extreme and in some cases I use Super-Glue (semi-fluid). For attaching carbon parts to the platic body I use that Pattex like japanese glue
that we normally use for making rubber-tires, dont' kow the name exactly.
we don't reinforce, we only use sometimes carbon front diffusors.everything depends in which series you want to race. for example. a good prepared
body (without dremling, because it's forbidden!) in the SLP series weights less than 30 grs. including rear wing, front diffusor, body holders, lexan
inlet (helmet made of resine), paint and decals. for a gt like body you won't never achieve this weight. in most rulebooks, you also find minimum
weights for body and/or chassis.
Hope, I could help you a little bit.
cheers,
Mike

Hi Guys,
I think I saw it in post but lost it . . . is anyone making a generic LMP or GT rear wing in resin or GFK? Thanks.

Hi
I have just found this site . I am starting a track (MDF) and club in Almeria, Spain and am wanting to race "interesting" cars.
I wanted a Slot-it C9 Kouros, but they were sold out in shops and expensive S/H.
I would like to find out info. as to how to make this model as I feel that 24th could be my way forward.
I will continue to look through site, but need to find info on chassis motors etc.
Cheers
