    I enjoyed every minute of this video. One car I have which keeps hiding at the back of the job-list-pile is a Scaley XJ220 which would also benefit from the same process you've gone through with this F40.

    Yes, I have an XJ220 waiting in the wings to have the same job, it came with the same challenge set as this F40, but a full paint job as well, coming very soon 🙂

    Whether or not the car is now a world beater is irrelevant. The improvement in handling, making it easier to drive is sufficient reason enough for doing the work that you did. Quite apart from that, you obviously enjoy the challenges involved in upgrading these older slotcars. A job well done.

    That’s an awesome build, I still have my original F40 which is in perfect running order, I bought it in 88/89 I think from the model show in Olympia, this video makes me want to add a few more details and tweak it to run better. Excellent work. Do you ever sell any of your projects or take on custom work for other people?

  • @SwiftSlots
    @SwiftSlots4 күн бұрын

    I do not sell my KZread projects and I have been asked to take on projects, but sadly people don't understand time is money, and there is a lot of time in custom hand work. eg, this car took me 2 days to do, so that's two whole days of labour. People never ask them selfs 'how much do I earn in two days, would Rob want to work for me for less?' So I would be interested in doing small quick jobs, but it would have to be worth my time.

    Hello Scott, if you'd like to send one over to me, I'd be glad to run it, post the run and return it to you 🙂 I bet it would be around 49sec. Sorry, words are difficult when recording for me, I meant I made a back card for a new case.

    Hi rob, amazing work. I might do the same with an old scaletrics Ferrari f40 but it doesn’t have a rally livery. I have lots of unboxed slot cars and I really want to get boxes for them but I can’t find anywhere where I can get them. Where do you get your and what do you use to make the background ??

  • @SwiftSlots
    @SwiftSlots4 күн бұрын

    I did put out a shout out on a slot forum, but got nothing back, so I now buy my boxes from a large slot car retailer. The back cards are simply what I find on Google images after punching in some related words to the project, then adjusted a little on a simple art program and printed out. Thanks man 😊

    Excellent restoration, Rob. I wholeheartedly endorse your 'less is more' approach to restyling the bodywork. It makes a refreshing change from all the intricate and busy liveries we find with today's GT3s and allows us to focus more on the shape and lines of the model. I wouldn't have the focus or potential to see what you have seen in this project but I am nevertheless a huge fan of what you can do for this fun little hobby.
