Thanks, Victor. I really like these two cars.
Don Sloan raced the yellow and orange car number 10 Indy Eagle. Beautiful car. The car drives like most multi-rod chassis cars of this period. You have to drive it carefully around a tight road course. The motor has good power. The driver figure is original to the car.
The simple multi-rod chassis was cleaned up. The Mabuchi-based motor has Arco magnets and a rewound armature. Note the suspension detail.
The body was cleaned, and the detail line tape was replaced. The body was then clear-coated.
Roger Moon's Porsche-Porsche Indy car. The rear tires are medium compound MESAC black tires. Set-screw Russkit wheels are used. I just got this one back together, and it is ready for testing. Body clips are used. The missing roll bar was replaced. The driver figure is original to the car.
Roger must have liked to drive this one. Lots of grease and dirt was cleaned off the chassis. The drop arm allows the guide to float up and down, so the front tires are not upset. The lead keeps the guide flag in the slot. Roger put lots of work into making this chassis. He used basically one piece of brass for the main chassis.
Twin Russkit motors with balanced armatures are used. The gears are twin sets of 7-tooth pinions and 25-tooth Versitec crown gears. This picture was taken with mockup wheels/tires.
