I was looking a bit more closely at this Torino Talladega and figured there was a bit of room for improvement so I looked up images on the web (as you do) and found this.

So into the garage it went and had the wheel arches opened out and longer axles added to bring the wheels out level with the arches. The centre ridge of the hubs was turned down to 17mm and Scalex T/A rear tyres fitted on the front and trued down to 22mm and MJK Scalex GT40 urethanes on the rear. I wanted to emulate (as best I could) the set up and stance of the 1:1 car with the added bonus of having a contender on the track. The window glass was taken out and the wee back side windows cut out and the front and rear mounting tabs removed so the interior could sit up a bit higher to clear the motor and allow for lowering. Needless to say the body posts were cut down to get the whole shebang sitting a bit lower.
And now Wendell Scott is ready to go racing again.
