Lancia 037 Rally 58278

Recommended Posts

Today my Lancia 037 arrived.

It is the perfect Thing to to, because for the next 14 Days i`m at home with my daugter because her kindergartenteacer is sick with covid.

So lets Start, as always, we did the Tires, that is the most fun of the build. And i`m shure you all know you have to do the most fun Part first. Never leave the best Part to the end :D

I just did buid a Ball Diff once (Sand Scorcher), so the diff is a really hard task for me.....  I´m not a friend of child labour, but i think for dte Ball Diff a little Help is ok. (My fingeres are to fat :D )

Now the Tiny Balls, i was shure to loose at least 2 Balls, but somehow i`ve managed to loose just one of them.

My daughter invented a very special tecnique to hold all the parts safe in the bag :D

I screwed it all togehter, end of day one i think.

PS: i didn`t knew how tight the Diff should be, so i tighten it up "very hard" for my feeling. I know that you have to brake them in, but do you have to disasamble the whole Thing?

To get the Diff out you have to remove the Dogbines etc.

The Sand Scorcher Diff could be tighten up by putting an allen key into a Slot of the Diff and turning the Wheel on the opposite site, so you can tighten it "on the go".

Is there a secret trick for the Lancia??

Today we`ve build the Gearboxes:

I`m not shure about the Dampers.....

The Manual says to use the 1 Hole Piston, the short Eyelet and 2 Spacers.....

I think it is essentiel to have a lot of travel for a Rallycar, so i used the t hole Piston, the longer eyelet and just the longer Spacer (ichoosed the longer Spaver because i thought so i can make up for the longer Eyelet....)

I`ve putted the Shocks on and checked the Travel.

I think the Travel isn`t right at all....

Fully compressed the Arms are just horizontal, i would like to have a little bit of negative travel.....

So my dear Tamiyaclub, what do you think?

Should i put the shorter eyelets on?

Or, as i prefer remove the inner Spacers  in the schocks? (i´ve never used Spacers in the shocks)

OR should i use the shorter Spacers? On  Youtube Matteo used both Spacers...   I´m not exactly shure why you need Spacers anyway.....

 

 

EDIT:

I changed the Eyelets to the short ones, because the Car wan`t nearly able to bottom out.

I`m still not convinced to use the spacers at all, but i do not want to demount & open the shocks and fill them up again.

Regarding the diff, it sounds like you just set it tight without breaking anything.Which is good.  With the tools recommended in the manual you would have to be built like a brick outhouse to damage it.

For maintenance, just take off the rear diff cover after first removing the rear bumper. That's it. You can then pull out the diff and dogbones.

 

As for the suspension, I think in hindsight that it can be a rabbit-hole you may not want to go down. If you build it as per the manual, it will look and work like it does in Matteo's vid. If like me you decide that realistically, it is an on-road car and that a more realistic stance

would go better with the fantastic body, then it's cutting bits out of lower suspension arms, threaded shock bodies, and before you know it, it has cost more then the kit.

I have TRF shocks on mine. Yes, really! In my defence they were taken from a track-car that I passed on to someone else, and I had nothing else they would fit on. But it's still a bit like fitting Öhlins suspension to a wheelbarrow. I doubt it handles any better than Matteo's.

 

It's a great looking car. Have fun with the build!

Yesterday we finished the Chassis.

The Cables aren´t tidy because i haven`t to installed the electronics yet. The Radio Gear and the Super Stocker Motor is in my other Home. Also there are all my colors and the Primer, so i couldn`t paint the Body yet......

I´m also not shure how i schould paint it....

Boxart`? the Green/red Colorsheme, Solid Color? I don`t know.....     but i think im a Boxartsissy and aren`t brave enough to go another Route.

I think the Car is fairly low to the Ground, but high enough for a bit of offroading..

My Lancia Delta sits a little bit higher.

I have installed the Electronics, a Flysky Receiver, a SuperStock BZ and a Carson servo in Blue.

At some Point i will probably take out the inner Spacers of the Shocks, because i do not ses the poit of it rater than limiting the Shock Traven (that is not a good thing for a offroad/road  vehicle).

 

 

 

I had biiiiig Troubles with the Painting of the Body. I`ve ordered a PS Paint instead of a TS Paint, so i used a revellpaint from my local Hobbyshop. BIG MISTAKE

 

I Start with my Story:

At first, i painted in the Basement of the house i live in with 15 other Flats. The Basement was filled with Dust and i realized it just after priming the Body because you could see a lot of fibers on the Primer, but i could wipe/rub them of with a cloth.

The first 2 Coats seem to work good and i hat a nearly dustfree shiny Finish on my Body while using the Revell Spray Paint. After checking the Body after one hour, i rested the Body on a Bike saddle to just only touch the Body from the inside (with the saddle) and the Body fell into the dusty dirty floor!!

Surprisingly the Paint was hard enough to not let the Dust stick to it, but i got a few scratches (that will be weathered i think). But i hated the Painting of it already :D

 

 

I thought i do a good thick final Layer to have all of the Body with a super shiny Finish (because some Spots were matt).

So i let the Body dry for about a half Day and started to put a thick final Layer on the Body.

Of course i got some running Paint....   argh!! But hey, i`ve didn`t painted a Body in a log time and maybe i put a little bit of weathering over it...

So, after Painting the Body and let it dry for a Day, i checked it and was veeeeery upset!!

All of the Paint did "crackle" and were matt. So i tried to polish it with some "caravan polishingpaste" and it did work a little bit.

So, then i started with some Detailing. I´m very bad at Painting, here is how it went:

I did a few black Drops in the Front of the Car.

While Painting the toothpick to stir the paint was stuck to my paintbrush and i didnt realized it when i lifted the brush....

I just realized it when the whole sticky blach toothpick fell on the roof :D

I picked it up, wiped the Paint away and used that caravan polishing/cleaning cream to remove the paint, it went ok i guess. (i was really really messy and a lot of black paint)....

So, i`ve painted the Window Rubbers and see what i`ve got:

the Tamiya Tape pulled the Paint of the Car!!!!!

owww, how i was raging! i hated that revellpaint! the Paint was somehow not only crackled up, not sticking, it felt soft, matt and a little bit sticky, also it smelled like paint.....

Tamiyapaints get hard after one day, and they do not smell like that...

 

Ok, i thought i will let it dry for another day and start to sticker it up.

 

DSC00533.thumb.JPG.51cf96cfcbbff1d8ade6a80bd437039f.JPGDSC00535.thumb.JPG.75cece2feb36ded668dda13de16e7502.JPGDSC00539.thumb.JPG.65bdaebced1842c1567de9ddfb87adda.JPG

 

On the right side of the Car i got the decals on the wrong place, so the red Stripe is to less visible and when you look  at the Front you see that they are not centered....

I did try to remove the sticker and center it up, but ....     ....BUT the Paint got loose while doing it :D I thought i get insane.....

DSC00536.thumb.JPG.30843062214537dbc414e791c38ebae0.JPGDSC00537.thumb.JPG.02cf8f1efd0c5260e0f47d171d0610a1.JPG

 

Do you see it? i just did use the wrong alignmentedge of the Sticker to center it.....

 

PS:

The Paint still smells and feel sticky. I painted the final Coat on Monday, so that was 4 days ago. I regret to have buyed the Revell Color, next Time i will get Tamiya Color that i used to work with and got a perfet finish all the time.

 

 

So that is my project, i hope it will entertain a little bit.

The Stickers put  a little shine on it.

A few decals are missing because i tought that i try a little bit fewer  Decals on it to get a slim look, but now i think i put some more on it.

 

Yesterday i painted the Iterior and got a perfect finish, the Paint got hard and didn?t smell like Paint, but after cutting, i realized that it flakes off and the Velcro Taped pulled oll of the Paint of, so i need new velcro that sticks directly to the Plastc.
