Hello, everyone!

Thank you for a lot of comments.

My 962C slightly progressed.

Besides the shortcomings of the kit, that you already adressed, there a quite a few differences between the shorttail and LeMans '88 version. You don't mention it, but it looks like you already changed the nose shape to low downforce shape, but you missed one important bit. The rear wheels are too big for LeMans. They should have the same diameter as the fronts and not the bigger ones for sprint races. Because of that the surface of your rear deck is too high and the shape of the vertical fins isn't right either.

Le Mans: http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1 ... 12-019.jpg

Supercup: http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1 ... 25-026.jpg

You should instead use the rear deck and wheels of a 956 kit.
The advice from you was very helpful. Thank you! :D



I changed wheels for 956 kits.

Original. large in size. Sprint race spec.
Image

956 wheels.
Image

Because wheel diameter is smaller, 962C kit's Suspension and Upright are not usable. I changed the gearbox assembly.
Image

It seems good. That needs a little more adjustments. :?

Thank you for watching.

Have a happy new year!
