Hmm...if repops of that orignal body are made, they would be perfect for a Jail Door coupe class.

Supposedly Vic is in the process of re-popping these as we speak.

I was just informed that Victor has declined finishing the mold.  I told two other persons on this forum and I guess they requested Victor to finish the mold and start selling some copies. But... I have been informed only a short time ago that since Philippe has stated he and Electric Dreams now have a body and are going to make reproductions of that one.... True Scale has decided to shelve the project so as not to compete.
 

Short story... if anyone wants a Ferrari 330 P3 Jack Garcia body, they should send all requests to Philippe and E.D.

 

Indeed Pablo, that is a beautiful chassis and you are a talented builder.   
 

[Don Weaver]

Well then Dokk, I want 2 of the bodies.....

Thanks for the kudos, everybody.

 

Once I get a nice fresh body on this thing, It will be sweet !  Track test will be 5 Jan at The Dungeon track.  We shall see if the silver colored wire pablo arm runs as good as it tests on the power supply.

 

[Pablo]

New body will be an O/S 434 Ferrari 330 P4, with a Jairus Watson painted interior:

That's a nice lookin' arm, Pablo.

[Pablo]

Thanks Tex

 

Unfortunately, the 10 year old pablo arm is no good.  It runs slow, and hot.

My new plan is to find a better arm, and send the can/mags off for a re-zap.

 

The car handles much better all tuned up with new rubber.  Now she needs some Patto's #24 gumball decals and Pactra acrylic red paint squirted on the Outisight 330 P4 body.

[Pablo]

Carved the can to accept Speed FX 16D magnets, installed post protectors and Champion light springs to the endbell, airgap is now .022, Electric Dreams CW at Endbell rotation double 28 wind armature installed (again), now she runs cool and strong.  Draws .9 Amps at 3 Volts.

 

Next track test 18 January at Viper Pit.

Holy Smokes Pablo, that motor looks really great

dont use the word "smokes",,,,,,,,lol

[Bill from NH]

Looks nice, doesn't it Oscar?

[Pablo]

Ready for next track test, 18/19 Jan.  Drivetrain sounds much healthier, so I put a JK steel pinion on her, 8 T.

 

[Pablo]

Track test 100% successful on the Viper Pit Engleman track.  Great acceleration, great top speed, gearing is perfect, great brakes.  Runs cool. Jay Guard test drove it a few laps and was impressed !

 

Next step: body prep and paint the Outisight Ferrari 330 P4 424.  (Did anybody know this is an IRRA legal GTC body?  I didn't.  Until Jay told me about it, and actually ran one in the GTC-PD class yesterday.

[Jairus]

Dang, forgot about the driver figure till now.  Well, it is currently 75% done so will finish up tonight and get them in the mail to you ASAP!

[Pablo]

no problemo   no time crunch here at the Wolcott cave

[Dennis David]

I understand the reason for sealed inexpensive motors, etc but I still love to see built motors.

[Pablo]

Thanks, Dennis

 

I squirted 3 light coats of Model Master Acrylic Guards Red, then backed it up with 3 light coats of Faswhite.

Looks kind of orange-ish on my monitor, but it is indeed very brilliant blood red

[Pablo]

100% done.  Spray by Pablo.   Driver by Jairus Watson.

 

[The Bugman]

whatta great looking machine,,,,im totally stoked to see it complete,,,
but will withhold the reason why for awhile,,,,,lol
thx Pablo

[Jairus]

Sweet work Pablo! Looks great.... 

[Pablo]

Thanks, Jairus 

 

Tthe (Jairus) interior fit perfectly with minor trimming, and turned a simple paint job into a beautiful body. One small piece of clear tape up front is all it took to make it secure.

 

Oscar requested I autograph the chassis, so here it is. 

There are only two pablo chassis in existence with my engraved autograph. The other is in the hands of Edo Bertoglio of Switzerland.

 

Truth be told, I have made several of this type chassis over the years.  But I highly doubt any of them will beat this car in a race.  It is a strong runner.  No brag, just my observation as a builder.

 

I can hardly wait for Cukras himself to drive and evaluate it  

[Champion 507]

Muy excelente Senor Pablo!!!!

[The Bugman]

Thanks, Jairus

ALL THE LEGENDS(Cukras,Warmack,Terry Schmid,Tore,and a few others)that race at BP take a few laps to see if it reminds them "of the good ol' days",then it'll be strictly a SHOWPIECE in my
Slotcar showcase,and just brought out to SHOW IT OFF from then on
