I finally got around to making Nimrods Maserati file into a slot car. I printed some wire wheels that finally can stand up to use. I gave up on printing individual spokes as they were always too frail to handle slot car use. These were made by embossing a wire wheel image onto disc using MS builder.
No where near as nice as photoetched wire wheels, but those are relatively expensive compared to the rest of the slot car. I wanted to have a wheel I could print and use my own urethane tires. So this is what I ended up with.
The car file is another flawless effort from Nimrod. So nice to have files that just print perfectly first time. Resin printed using BLU mixed with an ABS resin
Chassis is an inline podded effort FDM printed with PTEG.
Carrol Shelby ran the prototype car in the late 50’s and it was handed over to him after it won a European event in 57 or 58
