Hi Eur961,

Looking good, nice pics and a great field of group c cars.
The cars are looking good and the results of the race are very close I noticed.

Greetings,

Onno.

Hello Stephane

looked like you guys had a lot lof fun!
I saw 2 nice looking Lancia"s on the grid, do you have more pictures of them?

Some important features of our competition:

-The engines (Bison) and the tyres (already fitted on rims) are provided by the organisation
- The field of cars is large because we limit the number of each model
This year, only one or two specimens of each model are allowed except the Porsche 956/962 who is allowed in 4 specimens (many Porsche at the start of GR C races during the 80's...)
-We impose different decorations on each car
-A replica of a real decoration gives a bonus of some points. At Dunkerque, the winners lose this bonus with a ... yellow Ford Probe
-Even if it is not mandatory, many teams are "pro-am": one or two (very) good drivers with one or two less faster
-The winner team of a race must take 30 grs of weight at the next race, the second: 10 grs
the fourth loses 10 grs, the fifth loses 30 grs. It is a first try with this weight scale. It is possible we have to adjust next year...

Hello Stephane

I have heard that these TamTech bodies are made from styrene. Is this allowed in the LMS group C rules?

Hello Henk
Its been a while since I've actually seen a original Tamtech body in "the Flesh".

All I remember is that they were completely transparent, material could be styrene, but as they were intended for RC use it could also have been very thick lexan.

I would say try to get hold of one so we can measure and weight the body, for as now I dont see any major problems.

hello Tamar,

I will try to find one decently priced. As for now, I remember that someone in the Dutch treads was writting he would build the LC2 from a Tamtech body. I remember asking him about his livery as I intended to build a LC2 too. Maybe you know who that was and already ask him for the details?

Greatz,

Henk

The original Tamtech bodys was made of 2 mm thick clear Polycarbonate, also known as Lexan the trademark og GE the producer. But by all accounts these bodys was injection molded, not vacuum molded, thereby they where very much hard bodys like any kit!!

The resent Tamtech bodys I have bought on eBay has been made in another plastic ABS with Polystyren windows molded into the body. These are also made by injection molding.

Anyway, the Tamtech bodys ought to be applicable for your gr. C rules as they are all very heavy and made in the same way as a plastic kit. The resent reissue of the Tamiya Porsche 962C is taken directly from the original Tamtech molds!!

Why I know all this shit??? Well, I spent three years of my life selling plastics and I have talked to the danish Tamiya importer about the reissue!
