Thanks, but that one is mine. I might have to split the thread to avoid confusion?

This is the race prize still under construction. Bill still has the pans.

I've received a couple of PM's in the past about where or how I made the wire loops on the pans. I know Rick makes them and might include them in his F1 kits, but I usually make my own.

I have a simple bending fixture made for me by my friend Bill Worden

Basically, I just put a piece of .032" wire across, set a drill bit on top of it, and mush it with an arbor press.

All done

What a nice simple solution Rob! I might have to make one of those bending jigs...

My Samurai 4 is complete. Final weight was 53.1 grams or about a 103 - 104 gram complete car.

Now off to work on the SCRRA race prize chassis

Next step is for my buddy Bill Worden to modify the pans to the print.

In the mean time I'll probably take a side track and build my Samurai 4 that came in today's mail.

_{I'm enjoying this we get two builds for the price of one!}
_{I wonder what avenue Rob is going to take with the new Samuri 4}

_{Adios Amigos}

I'm confused, I thought this WAS the race prize. Sorry.

Pablo:

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't going to include the Samurai 4 build in this thread since it wasn't a race prize, some thought I was so I figured why not? Maybe I'll change the title?

Back to regularly scheduled program of the SCRRA race prize build

Sometimes I like to build on top of the print for ease of part placement.
