My First RetroPro Build.
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 5:15 pm
Been meaning to build one of these for a while and finally got around to it.
Rails are .055"
Brass is .063"
Lots of wire holding it together for strength.
Ready to go.
Body is a Truescale RetroPro Abarth
Weighs in at 85 grams which is heavier than I was aiming for.
Tried it the other night and runs under 4 sec on all lanes on the King with ease (even without its little driver
). Really great to drive.
Best time on Blue at 3.71 sec. It will be nudging very low 3.6's or better with the right conditions and a little more playing.
Looking forward to racing it at the Aussie Retro Nats in October.
Get building guys.
