FLY Porsche 911GT1 Evo／Gunnar-Porsche G99 with Olifer 3DP-Chassis

The colorful “Hole in the Wall Camp / Victory Junction Gang Camp” car had originally been a gift from a friend many years ago.

On the real car, the front tires had an extremely low-profile, wafer-thin appearance.

But on FLY’s slot car, the thick square-shouldered front tires protruded awkwardly beyond the front fenders, making the car look so clumsy that it barely resembled a 911GT1 at all.

For a long time, that was one of the main reasons why FLY’s 911GT1 remained unpopular. The first thing I wanted to fix was exactly that.

So my first step was to give the front tires a much lower-profile, flatter appearance, then trim the wheel hubs to reduce the track width enough to tuck the wheels properly inside the front fenders.

At first I continued running the car on the original FLY chassis.

But after discovering Olifer’s 3D-printed chassis, I became curious and decided to build one in anglewinder configuration.

The improvement was substantial.

The car suddenly became genuinely enjoyable to drive, and I immediately wanted a second one so my wife and I could race together.

So I tracked down another Gunnar-Porsche G99 ― the “Honor the Florida Mako Fighter Squadron” version ― and built it to the same specification.

The differences in tire wear and tire decals simply reflect the fact that the two cars were built at different times.

Mechanically and performance-wise, however, they are completely identical.
