PINK-KAR Citroën 2cv

Recent builds here.

Far far away from worldwide racing stream of these days, nearly antique construction.  Yellow is for my wife, red is for me. 

Added some custom decals on the yellow road car, added same lead weights under both floors, motors are converted to carrera standard E200 picked up from my junkyard, and put on LED lights.

We run them by old 2013 Kyosho wireless controllers.

Very fragile for shockage and short circuit, dissatisfied for power curve adjust range and too sensitive first trigger touch, but we never throw away as long as receiving Kyosho customer service.

The main reason is it has very useful memory bank for preset the 50 combinations of voltage and brake adjustment.

Sorry for pics are out of focus.
I focused my phone camera on the front wheel to capture camber angle, but some were failed.

Well, now I might not get jealous when the slot-it version comes out.

The Prince and The Pauper

Last week I was happy to hear FLY announced future release for nissan Z-car. I hope it will be really released.

More than that, I am expecting for other Japanese cars release, too.  Not only famous cars but also many other unique ones such as Mazda Cosmo sports, Capella rotary coupe, etc..

By the way, I remembered that I got a pair of Arii Nissan kit in a local flea market a few years ago. They were somebody's quick builds.  One was the Skyline GT-R factory racer, the other one was Fairlady Z sunday racer. Z was once dayglo orange spray painted, and had light gray wheels. Sorry no photo.

At that time, GT-R racer was very attractive to me, so the toylike colored Z-car was just a poor bonus. Old cars painted in such flashy color have long been abandoned.

One night last week I got an idea to repaint that orange car.
I applied Tamiya enamel directly on it by paintbrush and didn't care about brush marks.

Here is the result.  Rather rough surface just looks good for the old backstreet tuned car as I expected. It's far from that costly factory modified car.

On other hand Skyline "Hakosuka" GT-R racer was almost as it was, excepted for decal peeling by dried out, some touch up for paint defects, overall cleaning, and some chassis tinkering for running.

I'm looking forward to a set-up the two on this weekend. I hope to make them good runners.
