another shelf queen - Porsche 956 Rothmans.
Have collected the parts for this one for quite a while and was so happy when I finally had everything that I needed to start the build. The Black Motor Endurance l is brand new from Kalfakis in Greece and the period correct speed controller from the US.
All black plastic parts have been replaced with carbon reinforced ones from Tamiya's RM01 series. Only one of the front body posts is missing and I have used an 'alternative' aluminum part. The body kit is a rere Newman with MCI decals to replicate the glorious Rothmanns livery
Unfortunately, it's stored in a box 17.000 km away in my basement in Germany and I'm in Australia. Have taken it out to look at Christmas 2019 for the last time and was about to ship it to me in OZ but then . . . . . .

Very nicely done. Love the black wheels.
I had so much fun with one of these when I was a kid it’s so fast. I couldn’t afford the flat racing battery pack so I taped the Tamiya hump back battery on its roof and it will do wheelies from standing start acceleration! Lol

Awesome build! Always wanted one of these or the Newmans. One day I will add one to my collection.

Looks great!
My bro had one back in the day.
Mine features the worst paint job in my showroom, this makes me want to get around to fixing that.

Is the motor a Black Endurance? That brings back memories. I used to have the red-endbell 'sprint' and blue-endbell 'endurance' versions of these...

The Black Endurance comes with the kit. as the red end bell Sprint couldn't be used for the 8 minute races due to the higher power consumption. A great motor.
