Lamborghini Cheetah - XR311 re-release

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, after some years far away from the hobby I'm starting a new project.

I'd love to add a Cheetah to my collection, as I've seen several NIB bodysets for sale.

The main question is: will a Cheetah body fit a re-release XR311 chassis (in order to use better torsion bars from newer kits)? I've heard that Lambo's wheelbase is shorter, but my XR311 re-release chassis has two more holes in center chassis, so I ghess that holes will let me shorten the wheelbase to fit a Cheetah body, right?

Any other differences? Wheels and front bumper?

Thank you :lol:

You're right . The Cheetah chassis front bolts on using the 'vacant' hole that you pictured on the XR311 chassis to shorten it slightly . The front bumper and mount are indeed different , as are the wheels and tyres

Thank you!

So to build a reliable Cheetah I need:

1) A xr311 re release chassis

2) A spare set of Cheetah wheels / tires (almost impossible to find)

3) A spare front bumper (also impossible to find)?

P.S.: can I upgrade old suspensions with newer metal torsion bars?

You will need a re-re E parts tree to start with as the new metal torsions are fitted in differently to the old version
