More than three years ago, SRC launched the clean tarmac version of Dario Cerrato's Totip Lancia Delta S4 in which he finished second, behind Lancia works driver Markku. Alen. 
Unfortunately, the results of this rally where later annulled in favour of the previously disqualified Peugeot.

Now SRC delivers the gravel version of Cerrato's Group B Lancia.

As befits SRC, this involves more than just spraying a coat of brown paint on the car.
Instead of slicks and tarmac rims with cooling fans, the gravel spec Delta S4 is on gravel rims with RN 0109 knobbly gravel tyres.
The lamp pod for the auxiliary lights from the asphalt version has also gone.
SRC has also changed the gear ratio from 27:9 for the tarmac-spec car to 24:10 for the gravel-spec Lancia.
This means a higher top speed and less nervous behaviour in slow bends.
Here are a few photos of the SRC Totip Lancia Delta S4 in gravel spec:

       

I bought and have played with the right hand Mondeo since 2009.
I've just bought the left hand Mondeo, after a considerable period waiting for one to be reasonably priced, because it is different. (Just branded myself as a bit of a collector there.)
I can only find images of the left hand car with the associated Scalextric ref/catalogue number of C2170 and I would like to know (now branding myself as a spotter) what the number for the right-hand car is.
Can anyone help?

   

I am trying to find the above, so far with little success.
In particular there is reference to it in the 1979 FIA Appendix J

Quote
The highest figure ln Art 6 of the homologation form (Art 4 of the old form) shall be taken into consideration for limiting the overall length of the coachwork.
End Quote

This relates to the maximum length of a vehicle for Group 5 Racing.

Any help greatly appreciated.

               
Hi All 
As the Rally GB for 25 is heading south of the Birmingham line, for all the right reasons, I am trying to gain interest in running a three round championship in North Wales and borders..hence the name. 
The host clubs running the event are “Its a Small World”   “ North Wales Slot Car Club” Denbigh and TRUSPEED Club Whitchurch. 
Each of the Clubs can provide four rally tracks the majority being wood build. The calendar is being formulated and the rules are being discussed and will reflect the GB Rally rules but host will have a local class for their particular event, included a junior section if there is interest and appetite. 
So this is a starting point for interest so please reply or message me if you are interested so we can gauge the general interest. The dates will not conflict with the Rally GB dates and it will be a three event championship. It is hoped to start the first in Spring and the last two events in Autumn due to some wood stages needing to be built and finished.

I recently came across a brilliant facebook page, a Polish guy who 'colourises' old Grand Prix black & white photos.

It must be hugely satisfying to bring life into these old photos.

Pop over and have a look, here's some examples (I took the liberty of downloading a few to use in future club racing reports)

I have been printing decals for a few years on my cheap Brother inkjet printer.
They are OKish, ink is very thin and no white printing, been using cunning for the white options like inverted printing.
Generally OK for white based vehicles but next to useless for darker colour vehicles.

Thought about an old Alps but to expensive and hard to find replacement parts for them.
The Oki's are super expensive.

Has anyone found a hobby priced printer that does a good/great job?
Thick ink. solid blacks, bonus would be a white option but not necessary.

Interested to know what is out there.

Am I missing something, or does the forum not have an area for chit-chat which doesn't fit into any of the main forum categories?
For example, if I want to ask/discuss how others deal with (......or do they ever get) loss of enthusiasm for our hobby, where should I post it?

The waterslide printer I've used ever since I started doing re-paints is MIA.
I've recently tried a chap on Etsy, but I'm disappointed with the sheet he did for me.  I really don't want to use the decals as they are not sharp enough for my liking.

Who do you all use, please?
